The only fault it has is that fan thing on the side.

Basically an improved 800D. Here's mine with a 120.3 up top and 3xGTX 270's:





BTW, if you Google Image search "Obsidian 800D" my computer is about about 90 images from the top.

Coolermaster HAF, the only case I found that space isn't an issue.

The only thing they don't fit is EATX motherboards.

My next pc will be the Alienware aurora flat version ( not the ALX )... Then i will upgrade it with some serious hardware like asus Rog motherboards and decent powersupply.

This is a modded one with the white 3M carbon fiber paper.

I want this case so bad !

I still like the understated simplicity of the NZXT H2. The fan filters keep the dust at bay, the door and fan controller enable the choice between air flow and quiet, and the design enables plenty of cable management opportunities. Only things I can fault it on are the rear-top fan guard (which ideally should be white), the optional cover for that fan port (which is white, and if it was raised, could be a chimney exhaust of sorts. As it sits now, the cover isn't really usable with a fan installed), and the somewhat limited space inside.


The AZZA Fusion 4000 has had my eye for a long time simply because I love the concept of having an ATX and Mini ITX system in one case. Sure, companies like Case Labs have giant, nearly inhabitable enclosures that can do that, but it's cool to see it in a not-too-enormous tower.

CaseLabs Magnum M8.



Or the SMH10, which is the what the 900D wishes it was.

Fair to say a large percentage of users like clean simplistic cases with more practicality than giant hairy grills hammered into the case? Looking at you Aerocool SYCLONE!
Mine is the NZXT Switch 810

Thanks for posting the Asus Vento...brings back memories. I enjoyed that case...had the red version.

I really like the looks/style of the Silverstone FT02 with a side window.

Although...this Zalman TNN-500 has always been my favorite case.

I will buy the new 900D maybe. I really liked it, it is my new favorite. In general, I like any well-built aluminum or steel case with well-finished interiors and a window on the side is also a must, I dont like plastic bits. So I may sum this up as being a Corsair fanatic... though there are other choises as well.

And oldie but classic, the Antec SOHO 1030 series. This is my build "Ice Chamber" back in 2002 with my first custom paint job. I built 4 different custom case builds with that case. *sniff* Good memories...


















My next project was "Ice Chamber II" My first watercooling setup for my Athlon XP 2700+ Barton back in 2002, using an expensive custom Danger Den setup because back in those days, you built your own because thats all there was, other then Koolance.

I never owned one (well I had a Lian Li V1000 which was similar), but I would say the Silverstone TJ07.

It's been seven years since it came out and it still holds up pretty well as a case today. I'm sure there's others but this case came to mind first.

I have always had a thing for the Silverstone Tj11. Can't afford one, but would love to in the furture. The only thing I would change is modding the window from the outside to inside for a more flush clean look. Yeeeeeeaaahhhhhh baby
