Why do autists want anything else than a black cube for their case?
>>54983496
Honestly why does /g/ care so much about what other people buy. It does not affect you in any way. There are still elegant Fractal Design cases on the market. Praise capitalism and open market.
why do /g/ autists get their OCD triggered when people use something other than a black case?
this shit is ugly as fuck and so is fractal design. you have to find a balance between ricer shit and boring black boxes. corsair does a good job at that.

nigga dont talk shit about fractal
My edge meme case has good airflow and cable management at least.
Completely agree OP.
>>54983496
Gaming cases are so fucking ugly.
I have a fractal define S.
Quiet, good build quality, solid airflow and lots of room. Looks sleek, simple, and doesn't look like a 13 year old windows paint concept. Love it.

reeee
Because I wanted mine to be orange? IDK. I do agree, after someone showed me case that had a literal face to it my taste in towers became more simplistic.
I've been reusing the same garish ATX case I got with a computer from 2001. Off-white, big ugly buttons at the front, weighs more than your mom. Fuck it, it's a computer not a beauty pageant contestant.
>>54983545
I am actually a communist and think many desires are generated artifically, for example the need to buy a horrendously gaudy red/black case resembling transformer toys from the 90s. They have programmed us to like this shit, we must resist.
Support Fractal memes.
>>54983496
Gamer cases are medium level autist. Completely black cube is high level autist.
Inwin 901
I would have really liked a purple or pink one for my next build, but the really decent cases like FD or the good Antec ones only really come in black, silver and sometimes white.
I know I'm not the only one here who'd like that.
Repainting that shit yourself seems really involved. Sandpaper and primers and many coats and clear coat.
Who here would buy a purple or pink Fractal Design S or R5?
>>54983496
>>54983496
Because they don't want their cases to be detected by radar?

Not how human nature works. Fox A sees Fox B eating grapes and enjoying it/having a fun time, Fox A wants the same or similar grapes like it to get the same feeling.
You see this all the time with advertising.
>>54985758
Stawp you're pushing it to hard you're annoying you become a meme not this case.
>>54989798

>Who here is a faggot, /g/?
Come on faggots, speak up, who'd like a weeabo case?
>having a case
top kek
>>54989803
I strongly disagree. Today most of our interactions with reality are heavily mediated. Why does the Fox A want what Fox B wants? Fox A actually wants better than Fox B. Even if Fox A wants what Fox B wants, why is Fox B wanting that specific thing and not something else? The chain of causality inevitably leads to a gap and today all those gaps are plugged by shilling artificial desires.
There is literally no reason to buy a Founders Edition 1080, but people do it, against better judgement and feel guild-ridden afterwards.
>>54986232
I like nzxt
Are there any decent ricey cases that have a white color scheme in a mid-tower size? Been building a PC with a friend and she seems to like cases like the NZXT Phantom in white, and other similar ricey cases.

>>54989893
When I say ricey, I mean full-on "Incinerating 50-pound bags in a rice cooker with seven spoilers attached to it" ricey. This was a case she was into, for example.
>>54989836
You're making it sound more complicated than it actually is.
>>54989820

Nah. Stick your waifu on it, or in it, or both, and you have yourself a weeb case.

For the same reason they wear the ugly clown shoes that Nike and Adidas make, people with low IQ's like gaudy things no matter how ugly it is and they can tell their mongoloid friends that they have the new Jordans.

What does a window have to do with gaming?
>>54986218
>>54990436
>Outdated as fuck design.
>Outdated as fuck features
There are tons of more modern cases out there.
180mm fans
200mm fans
better sound dampening
cleaner airflow
dual chamber cubes
90° motherboard rotation
3.5" mounts that don't interfere with airflow
etc
3.5" mounts that actually dampen vibration
Fractal is meme company. I fell for their shills and bought a R3 years ago. It amplifies HDD vibration like crazy.
>>54986563
>Unsolved cube
This triggers me, solve it anon
>>54990794
I also have an R3 and agree with this. Plus it's a big fuckin waste of space if you only use budget components like me. I use it as a nightstand now.
I like edgy stuff
If I was a cute grill I'd go full black/red all day erryday
>>54990794
What would you recommend for a poorfag?
>>54985758
I unironically like this case.
Just pp some People (like me) like More classy desk setups like the Obsidian series or fractal design

>>54992637
Have the same on my current build.
>>54992637
Is it silent?
>>54990794
>doesn't mention the price
Fractal memes are a 100$ case. That's cheaper than, say, a 200$ Silverstone.
Are there any good micro ATX cases?
Corsair Carbide SPEC-02 + 5 fans masterrace
>>54986589
what is that?
r8 my atx case design
>>54994589
*matx case
also the exterior design is supposed to be just a black monolith
I got one of them corsair cubes and my only regret has been the goofy fucking transparent pane. I'm getting something printed in vinyl to deal with this nonsense. Worst is that because the mobo I got was my friend's old asus extreme III, it look autismal as fuck (still gonna use it free hardware is free hardware).
>>54983496
Best case right here
>>54989820
No anime waifu stuff, just a plain colour. I know there will be a few here. I was just wondering if anyone knew how to get one painted without having to do it myself.
>>54994589
I don't know, how would the airflow be? Where do you put any SATA drives (an m.2 would live on the board, but what about the cheaper end?).
If the top and the front are both intake, won't you get vortices rather than straight airflow?
Remove the top fans and make it solid; feet to raise the PSU intake off the floor (unless you have it upside-down, sucking air from the top, which is not a good idea as above); remember to put in grommeted cable-management holes; and have at least some space where I could put an SSD and/or a hard disk or two if I really wanted to (bottom-left? That's where the old Antec P180 design put theirs, also separated the mobo and PSU compartments, is that a good idea in this day and age however?); 3-layer laminate (extra sound dampening); and of course at least thick enough structurally to be stable and not wobble, and you might have a vote.
And do them in more colours than just black, silver and white. Please.
I just wanted a plain one, but the epic big X with red leds to make it faster was cheaper.
Why are minimal cases that are also functional more expensive than gaymer shit? It doesn`t make sense.
>>54995029
Volume.
just got myself a corsair 600Q
best case ever to exist.
thanks guys for your help
why would i want a nigger cube when i can have this?
>>54986589
I have that case and absolutely love it
>>54995043
>mATX case
>volume
what?
Also any case with a window is automatically rice shit.
>>54995062
Can the logo be scraped off?
>>54995029
don't get a small case.
You'll have to squish everything in there (bad airflow) and risk shorting your 3d card or some crap.
luckily I only lost $100 shorting it (it was so crowded a metal component touched the card and fried it
>>54989566
I thought about doing this just to save some bennies, but those things have shit for airflow and no filtering whatsoever.

They're also so stupidly huge that you give into the dark side and liquid cool. Just gotta be thoughtful in where you put the radiator.

I had to choose between a sleek white fractal and a transformwr monstrosity.
I chose the beast cause I want to look like a spaceman

>>54995062
It looks like a fridge.

I absolutely hated that case. Biggest dust machine I ever had.
>>54995517
is this a bad thing? It's a box under my desk, I care what is on the monitor
>>54992637
I'm using that for my current build. It's nice, but my son has his crumbs all over the top of it so I need to clean it. Also the top flap thing is flimsy. 9/10 case.
I adore this case
>>54985758
I like it when things says nVidia on them.
That is why I bought a 980, 960 & 950. All very good cards.
Cardboard case is the best kind of case.
>>54983496
A cube really isn't an efficient shape for a case
>>54996596
i half agree.
>>54996999
I upgraded to a shelf.
>>54986563
solve that fucking cube
NOW
>>54997363
glorious. i dont have a shelf, i'll have to be semi-carboard for a while longer.
10/10 shelf though
I wonder if I could build one into a gutted toaster oven.
>>54983496
Looks cooler
>>54986218
Fractal r4 was really good so I don't know why they are complaining.

I built a PC at the end of 2007 and had it like this for half a year until I wanted to be able to move it. Sorry for my mom's tasteless paint.
>>54983496
beast case desu
>>54996596
do you even need standoffs if you just put your mobo in some cardboard
>>54983496
same people that watch and post chinese cartoon, everything looks different to them. (poor taste etc)
>>54998085
No. And I held up the graphics card with a strip in one end, and the hole for the connectors in the other end.
With a PCIe extender cable.

>>54998314
I first used this one.
Then upgraded for a Core2Quad 8200. (It was cheap on eBay, and from inside EU)
But I have no more images saved of the setup. As I made this in December.
Ofc I still got the parts so I could make something tomorrow.
>>54998394
And then I ended up getting an old i7 that I could use for a meme build.
So I moved on to that and made a turbo-sleeper PC, out of an old FujitsuSiemens cabinet from 2005 that my great-grandmother left when she died.
>>54998472
iktf
i also just built a very cheap gaming rig. my buddy had an old emachines machine lying around and i just used that case since the standoffs matched for the most part
picture here >>54998378
i5 2400 and a hd 7870 for around $240
not2bad
What I want
Quiet, preferably good fans that come with it by default or sound dampening of some kind
Good airflow, but not a dust-collector
Big enough to fit full length cards and a huge cpu cooler with no problems
Less than £100 ($144)
What do I look for m8s
Should I just go with the fractal define S and be done with looking?
>>54998496
more pics in case i piqued your fancy
i didn't even bother to mount this fan at all, I just shoved it inbetween the frame and the front panel and close it before it fell out
How come "gamers" have no taste?
Their aesthetic sensibility is that of a 12 year old American boy who lived all his life in a suburb with complete pleb parents interpreted by 40 year old pleb dads in Taiwan.
stay jelly made.
I got this Scythe Kozuti, because of the LGA775 support, and the low hight.
But the tiny fan was/is very annoying. It doesnt make much noise, but it does it on a frequency that penetrates everything.
So avoid this.

If you're going to do a ricey cases, at least get a nice ricey case.

But I like my black box, especially since you can get the N200 for just 40 freedombux.
>>54998534
If gamers had taste, they wouldn't be gamers.
>>54999371
I own a Fractal case and I like this one.
>>54999383
Is that a floppy bay?
>>54983496
Usually I go for the plain black tower with good IO because it's more professional, but I got pic related for home because it's fucking beautiful imo.
Just minimal enough, but slate grey with slight angles.
>>54998499
That's a choice. I also had a good build experience recently with an Antec P100.
>>54999840
Technically, I suppose so, but pretty much anything that's 3.5" can fit in it.

It's the only choice.
Can anyone recommend some box cases?
Pic related is mine, and I love it, but I'm curious if there's any other good cases out there.
>>54994912
Not him, but I believe the top fans are supposed to be exhaust. You filter them to prevent dust from settling in the case while the system is shut down / sleeping.
Anyone got any decent free software for doing these sorts of designs? Also, how is the Phanteks Eclipse? Newegg has the black one on sale for 55$. WIndowed side while I`d prefer the silent edition, but that`s just so damn cheap, and I am so tired of this POS sentey case it`s not even funny.
>>54995342
Need more than one perspective, Or is this literally just going to be a standard micro tower? Keep in mind maximum dimensions of a MATX board is 9.6x9.6" (244x244mm) To accommodate a 360mm of fans on top and front, your case will have to be ~ 33% longer / taller than your motherboard.
