Best minimalist case?

[DerwenArtos12]

I don't get how people keep recommending the gigabyte triton. Do you just not realize it's a coolermaster centurion with a different front panel on it selling for almost twice as much?

Case in point: can anyone tell me, just from looking at the pictures, which is the triton and which is the centurion

Example 1

Example 2

I didn't know that about the Triton, I just know it went together good and owner is happy with it. This was a build where owner bought the parts and brought it to me to assemble.
Just thought is was a nice case with no door and two fans.

No, I can't tell but one has case feet and other doesn't.

It's the angle of the picture, they both have stick-on rubery-plastic feet.

The only difference I can find in all of my staring, side-by-side, in person, is that one of them has some of the motherboard material in line with the bottom of the psu stamped in for hanging wires from, and there's nothing to say that some of the newer revisions of the other one don't include that.

This thread just started, and points to what looks like a great case based on the desires of the OP here.

that's what my Vista system is in

$49 & no stealth drive bays !

Trouble with the Lancool is that there is nowhere to buy it yet. And the above linked Centurion 5 is only $25. after rebate now. Casitude score: 3+ of 5.

Can't think of something less flashy than my own Centurion 5 case. Looks slick and straight to the point. Plus it has decent stock cooling.

You gotta have a black optical drive though... otherwise it looks weird.

Yup, OP wants a door as he has a menagerie of drives as I do.

I don't know if that really qualifies as a case, per say.

Minimalist, then go caseless.

What can be a MORE minimalist than a case with no walls/windows/covers/bezels et cetera?
