Best case ever?

I came across this case, and it looks amazing. Plenty of fans (five included!), HD docking station built-in, front-panel USB 3, 8 expansion slots, cable-routing grommets, removable HD cages for really big video cards, tool-less HD, optical, and PCI slot mounts, the works!

Looks nice. I was looking at a Rosewill case just like that recently. But... it's no Q500...

Looks similar to a Lancool K62.

Most, if not all, Rosewill cases are rebadged from other companies.

Looks better, so no. =D

Meh...it's OK, but it's no HAF-X.

not even close to the lian li, silverston, corsair, windy styling.

And thank goodness for that. Those HAF cases look like a Transformer that got stuck halfway through its transformation. Kid cases for those that want flashy shit.

This, add BitFenix, and it's a Rosewill.

Meh...I have the HAF 932. Fortunately, it only has one LED fan...similar to the second pic I posted. It's pretty muted since it's mounted behind the front bezel. I don't care for cases that have more lights than Times Square...but neither do I care for the plain looking cases that so many companies offer. for me, it's just a box to hold the components...I don't want/need bright and flashy, but I don't want an ugly, plain-looking thing either. The HAF cases (except the the brightly lit model in the first pic) tend to fit that...at least for me.

I hear lights and decals make your computer faster.

Hard to discuss taste. It's not bad looking, but I wouldn't trade in my Define R3 for it.

And that's really what it comes down to...personal taste in cases. I care less about how a case look than I do about it's air flow characteristic and noise transference. Noise is perhaps the only negative for me with the HAF cases. With the mesh material that they've used in some of the construction, component noise is a bit easier to hear...so, I have to have quieter components...

that case rules.




the rosewill's arent bad

I just did a build in the challenger and its decent.

they are missing alot of features though

 

[T_Yamamoto]

Haf cases ftw

 

[mv2devnull]

I came across this case, and it looks amazing.

Looks are debatable, but I know for certainty that I won't find any Rosewill from local store. Availability is one of my criteria for a "good X".

then most of your good X's in the compute/networking areana arent that great, atleast not where I live

Fractal R3 or NZXT H2 or Antec P193.

My next case:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811133192

SATA backplane ?? check
3 200mm case fans (one with a power contact point) ? check
Supports dual radiator WC setup ? check

Ohh, and white ... its the new black :thumbsup: Cannot wait to buy this and build around it ! I actually have to cut my computer desk's hutch to fit this big bastard in there.

I like my cosmos case well enough except for the space between the right side panel and the case its terrible.

It looks so gimicky though

Back in "my day" we'd say it was "cheesy". And it does look a tad D: to me too.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, if this case floats someone's boat then I am happy they found it.
