The Best Cases: Our favorite PC chassis in every form factor

[MoeJoe]

Not sure why people are getting riled up. There are so many cases and sizes that it would be impossible for Julio to list them all. It says "Our Favorite Cases" Doesn't mean yours. Instead of getting mad, post your case and why you love it so much. The Cooler Master HAF XM is still my favorite case and has housed my system for the last 4 years.. The new INWIN cases are sexy too.

Do your own meta analysis.
Problem solved.

(a Critical Thinking college level course or reading a book in the subject area may help too)

Hey why is there no *insert my brand of cases because I think they are awesome and by saying so I'm validating my purchase because there is no way other brands are as good or better than the one I chose* on here?! Are you freaking kidding me?? It's the best case I've owned my whole life!!

I'll second that in general the small footprint cases are really big.

They do look good however, so I'm unsure on what the guy that was complaining thinks a good tower should look like.

Why 150 when you can buy a 60 one? Well that's up to you and how much you are willing to spend and what you'll use it for, I love how people that buy entry level hardware that will run on stock go for a bazillion of airflow and are super worried about how many fans come out of the box.

True.

I had an i5-4440 laying around from a dead Dell, and figured it was time to upgrade my old i7-860 rig. I ended up choosing the Enthoo Pro to house it. For the price, it is pretty amazing. The case is a full ATX tower, so it is huge, but I can live with that. SO much room, and the cable management opportunity in this case is amazing.

My monster PC is housed in a Corsair 900D.... Only drawback is it is NOT portable unless you're an Olympic weightlifter.... Getting it into my basement was not fun and I'm dreading the day I have to take it out....

I'd love to buy an Alienware tetrahedron case. That's probably the coolest case I could get.

Yes all the Alienware cases are a step above the one ones listed. I wonder why all these PC case companies can't match them? I kept my Aurora case because 3rd party cases just don't match up in build quality. I have a corsair that is ok, but not close in build quality.

It is hard for me to fall in love with a boring tower or mid-tower case with a bunch of 5.5 drives that will most likely never be used. For me, I liked the Thermaltake Core V1 Mini-ITX cube case. It has a very simple and basic design with a bottom mounted power supply with the Motherboard directly above it for easy access to drives, Main power with almost no need for cable routing.

same reason my Silverstone RV02 has been home to 3 builds and more to come I just love the 3 180mm fans in the bottom keeping everything nice n cool and all the ports are at the top no stuffing round in the back for me

I highly disliked my old Phanteks eclipse, had only two drive slots, nowhere for a diskdrive unless it's external, and I don't know if it was just mine or my wires weren't labeled, but I wanted them to redeem themselves, so I bought the new enthoo evolv and it's great, I love it. Nice job Phanteks

Plus there's nowhere to plug your fans into the case on the eclipse

Would love an update to this with more budget options ($50-100). A lot of these cases are out of my budget
