Whatever one holds all the stuff and doesn't fall apart. Appearance in meaningless as far as I'm concerned.

From a stunning build:




I found myselft sitting breathless while reading his building log: http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=138455

Another sample from someone with tons of free time:


From Million Dollar PC: http://www.million-dollar-pc.com/


My personnal choice? Definitely prefer the "black-box" appearance...

I have to say I like the look of that one. I have never liked the flashy lit up things. I prefer simple, sleek, elegant and effective.

Have to say I prefer the simple 'black box' look too. Been looking at custom configured computers, and so many of them have bloody ridiculous cases

Like one computer, perfect for what I want (just slap in a new card), except it's got this fooking idiotic box:

Seriously, what is that giant thing on the bottom? Everything from the waist up is fine, but when you get down to the bottom you've got that washing machine thing on the front. The only computers I can find with the plain, no frills cases seem to be the most expensive ones...

That sounds to me like the Lian Li line of cases. Simple But classy and built to last a lifetime.

They seem to have a good selection, but as shown in posts above, so they should not have any extra light that flashes around, then you might as well buy a Christmas tree,
