Corsair 250D, i love ITX builds
rocking a 4790k @ 4,8GHz with a H80i (front mounted)
Personally idgaf what the case looks like, since I have it under my desk and only look at it to turn it on or open it. As long as it's not humongous and is easy to work with, It could look like my sweet grandma mack's dead body for all I care God rest her soul

Fuck you, I like my Stryker, despite it´s retarded name. I got a good deal on it because one USB-port didn´t work properly. My monstrous hands and heatsink can´t be arsed with small cases.
I use the swaggiest case I've ever even seen. But its fuckhuge and holds three rads and 6 hdds and two video cards just like I needed so.... Function over form bruh.

Swag for Men
Had an AZZA Genesis 9000b because black/red was my color theme. I just swapped it for a Source 210 and holy shit is the difference noticeable. Idle CPU and GPU temps dropped 5-10°C, not to mention it's a fraction of the weight and still works with red/black (except the white light)

Going to get pic related this summer.
Just the right amount of rice. Looks refined but still has a window so I can see all my beautiful hardware that I paid so much for.
I've been using this guy for almost a decade now.
Wish I could find a replacement side panel because the intel cag ducting probably cause more harm than good with current configuration.
The best
Besides a few newer cases and boutique/custom cases, pic related is pretty much /thread
Is this one okay?

It's not exactly anonymous looking. I mean it's more plain than these ricer cases but it's a cube.

nah it's just shot from an unflattering angle. it still looks presentable when viewed from a normal distance of about 1-2 meters away. not to mention the side panel will be closed anyway.
also I'm running at stock right now so I'm holding off on an aftermarket HSF. and even when I OC to 3.8 I'm going to stick with stock for a while.

Still using an Antec Sonata Proto.
Nice PROFESSIONAL sleek simple looks.
Small inside though and it doesn't have AMAZING airflow but everything inside stays nice and cool still. Wiring inside is impossible to get clean.
Wouldn't recommend.

Anyone know the name of the top left case? Looks neat.
The monolith formerly known as the switch 810.
>>47503294
of course. having a modular PSU helps immensely when it comes to cable management. also with the hard drive cage removed in that one pic, there's less "clutter" as it were
Are cases like the Bitfenix Phenom ITX or Corsair 250D good for an itx build? Bit clueless about cases to be honest.

same here, that's why I picked up the VS450 in the first place. sucks for muh cable management but with the case closed it doesn't matter all that much anyway.
>>47503560
>Unless you're overclocking, which is stupid, I don't think someone needs an aftermarket cooler
well, overclocking is not stupid, but the truth really is that most people don't need aftermarket cpu coolers. there's always going to be a load of consumerist bullshit peddled by whoever online, but stock coolers are good for pretty much everyone unless they are "enthusiasts." the same applies to thermal paste as well.
>>47503656

Pretty great. Added rubber padding. Disappointed by the fact that it has only two exhausts.

>>47503560
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
No but seriously, bought a 212 evo, wasn't that expensive, like 30euro or so, it's worth even for the sound, and as a bonus you get cooler temps
Any good, cheap cases, no rice shit, atleast as little as possible, USB 3 at front panel, ATX midi ? Cheap as in sub 50$
Current case has no cable management, side panel doesn't close because the power cables are fat as fuck and sticks out from the GPU, also 212 evo sticks out a little bit
Hardly fits the GPU, need to fiddle a little bit to fit it in place, impossible to comfortably fiddle with the cables without cutting hands on sharp metal like GPU and shit, while trying to replug SSD(some kind of problem, needed to replug few times)
>>47503237

>>47502837
>>47507005
If used for casual stuff, work, etc. fine
but gaming or serious work that require power is like an oven, unless some higher end cases
Personally, I value better airflow and such over noise
>>47502837
>>47507005
Get whatever and use rubber fan mounts. Also put rubber car isolation on the case doors. It'll be silent as fuck.

you paid a 50% premium for a carbide 300 with "ammo box" handles, tacky side panel clamps, and "fighter jet" power/reset buttons.

muh cube case
Core 2300.
I can't really find anything wrong with it, and it's certainly a step up from my old Challenger case. As much as I liked it, I couldn't fit my watercooler, and the cable management could be better.
>Carbide Series 300R
Any good?
>>47507417
side panel windows are tacky. Get the 200R instead. It's cheaper and better looking anyway.
>>47507410
Also, r8 guts. I see a few ways to improve the cable management next time I clean it out.
