Default What case to get for new build?
I am in the planning stages of a new build and am yet undecided on the case. It needs to be big, made well, and look really nice! I was looking at Lian-Li, but am open to others.

I looked at the staker, but for some reason I don’t like it. It seems to plain, just a box with drive bays.

Lian-Li has the case for you.

It may be expensive, but you will not find a better case.

Huge, well made, great airflow (so I hear) and tons of room for watercooling.
