    a side window is fine if you have a nice WC setup to show off, although tbh ive grown out of it anyway and would probably still stealth a WC rig

    I'm slowly developing a hatred for Black cases with Blue LEDs. first thing i did with my Antec 1200 was remove all the 120mm fans and replace them with silent eagles. the bigboy's LED's stay off. now i have my PC bathed in Green CCFL lights (matches my intended theme, plus is not a overused color)

    next PC i'm making will use a CM Scout case (TF2 Scout themed case). but the black is definitely going to be painted something else. (maybe silver, undecided yet)

    i do prefer cases with a few 'sticky out' bit on them providing that they won't interfere with me while carrying them, and that they're either functional or make sense. that Bulldozer case looks fantastic (but needs to be in Yellow or Green), but i could see that front panel being irritatingly annoying to use day in and out, not to mention it doesn't look much like a Bulldozer, more like a spaceship

    Classic Lian Li all the way for me.

    My first rig that wasn't a beige box. Lian Li PC-65

    Simple, understated, and timeless.

    Woah seeing that CRT-screen made me a bit sick, but the cases sure fit my taste as well.

    2002! Very few of us had LCD panels then. That's the ageless quality of a Lian Li... it still looks fresh today :)

    HAF 932, Love the rugged military style look, although they really should have included black internals as standard. I think theyre adding that to the next HAF case coming out. that also looks pretty awesome.

    agreed lian li is he way to go for classic and understated, we're not all the same though obviously, wouldnt it be boring if we were?

    Currently saving for a CM 690 II....love the style of it, sleek yet bold (and the external sata caddy sold it for me lol). im going for ninjah WC behind the non windowed version although i might just throw some flouro green tubes in to make it look kinda Necron Monolithy.....

    Defiantly? LOL


    Those pesky, defiant Corsair cases :)


    You're right though, the Obsidian 800D is a fine looking case. Clearly modelled off a Lian Li though ;)
