Wood accent case options

[Vegeta]

Hi guys.

My cousin is building his first PC soon and he likes the look of wood accent cases.

I was just wondering what other viable options are there? That are good quality good airflow etc no real budget as such.

Thank you.

I have this and like it. Can't hear it, looks tidy, great temps, easy to build in. My build thread

Check out the Antec Flux and Flux Pro.

There's a bunch of good choices out there for both M-ATX and ATX builds.

My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x Lian Li A3-mATX Tempered Glass Micro-ATX Case (Black) (SKU: CAS-LIA-04811) = £59.99
• 1 x Corsair 2500X Micro ATX Dual Chamber PC Case, Black/Walnut (CC-9011286-WW) (SKU: CAS-CRS-02921) = £149.99
• 1 x Antec C8 Wood Full Tower - Black (SKU: CAS-ATC-02731) = £99.94
• 1 x Antec Flux Mid Tower Case - Black (SKU: CAS-ATC-03470) = £99.95
• 1 x Lian Li Lancool 217 - Black (SKU: CAS-LIA-04527) = £102.99
• 1 x Fractal Design North Charcoal Black Mesh Mid Tower Case - Black (SKU: CA-0AU-FD) = £126.94

Total: £667.80 (includes delivery: £27.99)​

Most of these have different colour variants, windowless options etc.

I'm fond of the A3, been tempted to switch my current case over to one. I also built in a 2500X variant earlier this year and it was a solid case, bit pricy for what it is and not to my personal taste but I couldn't really fault it.

Bit of a mixture of fans, but they're all available.

The 217 and C8 seem to be his favourites more C8 thank you

Just hold in mind you need to add fans and potentially an RGB hub to the C8.

It is a nice case mind you, reviews well too:

Antec C8 Curve Wood Full-Tower Chassis Review

Antec delivers another solid, stylish case, but in a crowded market, rivals like be quiet! and Corsair offer equally good options at similar prices.

The above is for the "curve" version but the only difference that I can see is the fishbowl window being curved.

I have a Lian Li Dan A3, which is you want a smaller case 'mATX' then I'd recommend it, it's nicely put together, fairly well designed and big enough without being bigger than it needs to be really.

I have one too, really pleased with mine.

Absolutely love these wooden Lian cases. Really look the part in a modern living room without a big ugly RBG lit build that sticks out like a temu special ha.

I built my latest PC with the Antec Flux:

Great looking case and some nice features within the case itself.

I really like my Fractal Terra. Very tidy looking little box, but is super tiny mini-ITX. Compromises are made!

I did a build for my nephew recently in a C8 and it was a dream to work in, so much room and easy to keep cables tidy. Recommended

I'm only posting the link to it because it took me ages to get it sorted... We have a category squirreled away on the website that shows just cases with wood accents.

hope its helpful.

That search is missing some though.
The rest of the Flux pro series, C8, P30.

 

[hornetstinger]

Antec Flux Noctua edition if you don't mind paying the extra (rip off tbh)

 

[Rob_B]

That Flux SE is tempting, holding out for sub £100 though (no, the penny doesnt count in my eyes!)

Flux SE has foam panels inside, which'll reduce noise but will increase heat. The fans are lower speed as well.

 

[Rob_B]

I knew about the foam, I just have no interest in a glass panel.

Didn't know about the lower speed fans though, is that even vs the non pro? I'll have to find some reviews.

I think the Flux regular has the higher speed fans, the SE catered to silence
