Are there any cases nowadays that don't look fucking autistic?

I like pic related since it's much more discrete than the gaudy LED boxes most gaming PCs tend to degenerate into. I'm just concerned about cooling which I'll admit those autistic cases have going for them.

Is the front air intake even that important?

Most cases, even gayming cases tend to block or restrict porting in the front.

I have this, which I'm pretty happy with. The LEDs behind the front fans can be turned off with the press of a button.

Ignore the faggots, OP.
Air does not flow with any benefits through a case that resembles the scrotum of an autobot.
As an experienced system builder (i have a real job, this is just a profitable hobby) I will never cease to be amazed by the staggering majority of PC gamers who want a cool lookin box despite the fact that we only look at or inside it when the device is in need of maintenance.
Get a big black box and don't skimp on the fans and youll be fine.

I was in the same boat as you when looking for a case. I eventually went for this one. Aside from the obvious cutouts for fan mounts (which I'm sure most wouldn't care about) there isn't really much rice to it, and it's got a lot of nice features.

Got the define S recently.
Breddy gud and quite cheap. Sound dampening on side panels and top (fron side panel plastic, no sound dampening, but quite sturdy).
HDD/SSD mounts on the back are a nice feature. Airflow seems unimpeded and I noticed lower temperatures. The stock fans are decent enough, silent, so I decided to additional two and mount them as front intakes desu. So far so good.

The Corsair Carbide 600q is probably better, more sound-dampening and whatnot but it's almost twice as expensive.

That's a really nice case OP.

I have to use a case that lays the motherboard on its side due to my heatsink weighing 2 fucking pounds, so picrelated is the least autistic looking case I found that fits all my needs.

All of this. Get a Define R5 and kill yourself, not necessarily in that order.

The above goes for pretty much anyone asking about a case.

I turn off the the fan-lights as well, and even went so far as to disconnect the HDD the power and HDD lights from the motherboard. That shit got annoying at night.

Lian-Li stuff usually looks pretty neat/minimalist and they rarely even have case windows, let alone LEDS, though they do offer a few GAYMEN cases.

A bit pricey but usually well built too.

This Zalman T4 case is dirt cheap but works fine for me. It pulls off the cool blue LED look without looking over the top and generally autistic. It sucks that there are no slots for anything else than the built in optical drive though.

I see these all the time at work, they're pretty nice.
If you're getting one, be sure the M58p and not the M57p case (M57p is pretty annoying to close again)
The M92p, M93p, M900 Tiny cases are kawaii

>>55054820
If you intend to seriously watercool, Define S is essentially a somewhat reprofiled R5 with hidden drive cages.

I've got them both and they both are the best for what they're intended for.

I have a case from NZXT and it's pretty good. Cheap and very straightforward. No shiny bullshit.
