766846 2009-04-21 10:21:00 Hm... Any cases that actually LOOK GOOD, is CHEAP (under $155), good PERFORMANCE, and good BUILD? IT looks like this aint the old golden days when a CRT monitor would last you 9 years *Im using it right now*:horrified Sir Prospect (14735)
766847 2009-04-21 21:16:00 Hm... Any cases that actually LOOK GOOD, , good PERFORMANCE,

Looks are a matter of opinion. So thats up to you.

Cases don't have performance. They have room and airflow.

I'm sure that other forum members would agree that Antec makes damn good cases:)

766850 2009-04-22 02:43:00 +1 for the Antec Three Hundred - I have one.

Build quality is excellent. Cooling options are fantastic. Has filters for reducing dust etc. Plenty of room for expansion. If you want 'bling', add 2 intake fans to the front (just buy a couple of 120's with LED lighting).

766851 2009-04-22 03:12:00 Yea, I agree that Antec cases are damn good, but they're also damn expensive.

Oh yeah, as far as im concerned if a case has a side window, a couple of fans and a door, then it looks good.

766852 2009-04-22 04:16:00 None of the above.

Raidmax and Thermaltake make the most flimsy cases on the market. Terrible cable management and almost non-existent air-flow. It doesn't help that they are all terribly ugly.

I can't really suggest anything because if these cases are your sort of thing then there is nothing else that will appeal to you.

766853 2009-04-22 04:43:00 I had a Tsunami Dream once. Overall it was OK, but the build quality is not up to scratch.

Then had a Gigabyte Aurora 570, which was great, then Antec 1200 and now Antec P182. I can vouch for the Gigabyte and Antec cases. Never had Antec 300 but I've seen many good reviews of it and it's not too expensive.

Again, matter of opinion. The case I sold the most of is the Raidmax Sirius.

766855 2009-04-22 07:52:00 My opinions are very varied and flexible, I am after all buying a 2.3k computer that has to last me a MINIMUM of 5 years with no or small upgrades (such as a bluetooth adaptor) so if a good case is what is needed, than i dont mind.

So antec/gigabyte? Any cheap ones with good looks? (anything with a window)
