Your top 3 cases

post #1 of 81

Thread Starter 
What are your top 3 computer cases? There are so many out there and I bet there are a lot of good ones I have not seen.

I prefer mid tower and full tower cases. I don't like any micro stuff.

My top 3 - pics courtesy of google images.

1.) Antec 900

2.) Corsair Carbide 500r in black

3.) Antec 300 Illusion

The 300r would be just outside my top 3. Corsair makes some nice clean and sleek cases.

I hope not, I've only had one that I posted. The other two just seem like they have had a giant impact on case design.

Lancool K62.

I doubt I'll buy another case until the ATX form factor is obsolete.
