I feel ya anon, have it right here.

Doesn't that large grated area below the rear fan fuck with the airflow?

I don't fully understand negative and positive air pressure but if you've got a rear fan trying to pump out hot air then wouldn't the rear grate end up messing with that?

That is not the point. If you want a good case with proper vetntilstion and features chances are you can't get a non wijdow version. Even shit tier cases now have windows, you need to purchase high expensive custom ones

While I like the case design, that's an entire surface that could be covered in fans/noise dampening insulation.

Kinda want to replace the side panel with tempered glass. The acrylic is gross.

>>59782199
Chink shit.

>>59782978
That's what it is. Big giant fucking heatsink that has a PC inside of it coincidentally.

>>59782199
I'm pretty sure computer cases don't include operating systems, anon.

>>59783648
Wew lad. Yes. Between this, the Define C, and the mini versions I've built a couple of dozen machines in FD cases now. Still never fails to amaze me how nice they are to work inside of. So versatile and well thought out, and that's without even taking in to account how cheap they are compared to some far shittier popular options.

Case windows are cancer but I wish they'd refresh their stuff with some tempered glass for when sperglords I'm building for request something they can show off their guts in. Acrylic panels make everything that bit tackier.

>>59783648
Make the blackout version standard and give me the option of a PSU shroud Define C style and you've got the GOAT case.

>>59783585

>>59782160

>>59781414
I love this case. Shame I fucked up and got a nzxt h440

Love the evolv but I'm probably going to transfer my system into an S340 Elite.

>>59783648
Not quite, when one dominates the other it is quite bad, case in point the define series. Cases so dedicated to function that they are ACTIVELY boring. On the other end you have the garish cases of the early to mid - 00s. What is needed is a sense of balance, something most people in case threads fail to understand, a failure that is the foundation of /g/'s cult of bland.

>tl;dr, defines are like skyrim, fallout, or nissan silvias, best when (tastefully) modded

>>59784019
Why does your PC need to be "exciting"? It holds components, it cools them and it has an on/off switch.

>>59784073
Not him but I personally don't get why you guys get so sad over aesthetically pleasing cases. I personally like the way the components look, that's why I get cases with windows. I'm next to my computer for hours a day, being able to see the components is much better than a large black box.

If having a window didn't mean losing a surface for fans/noise dampening material, I'd go with a window but I'm all about performance and function over form.


I have some crazy hardware running in my PC and it's nearly silent under load. It was significantly louder in my previous case which had a window and similar fans.

>>59782199
A HP Z600 workstation beats it any day in looks.

>>59783662
Is it a good case? I'm monitor ing its price for a future gift to myself. Is it possible to find a tempered glass side panel for it?

There's cheap brushed metal and premium quality brush metal.

It's all in the feel.

How's the material quality? I bet it's cheap plastic.

>>59786909
It's all metal + tempered glass, anon.

>>59786125
It's alright. For a mITX, it wastes a lot of space and the side panels don't feel very premium, unlike my nano S. The lights are cool if you pick the right components and you can fit a led strip behind the front panel for even better lighting effects. Overall, it's pretty easy to build in.

>>59786909
The build quality and engineering are fan-fucking-tastic. I was super impressed with it, I built my buddy's rig with one and I was wholly jealous. Unfortunately they don't make particularly small cases, and certainly nothing in the form factor I'm interested in but their quality is outstanding.

>>59782978
you are correct anon, it's a giant heatsink to go fanless. Check it out.

I thought the whole point of tempered glass was that is was much stronger and resilient than regular glass...?

It is, but it's still breakable. It's the same shit used in car windows, and that will crack from a sharp impact.

Desktop & Server use this case. 9 bays, plenty of room for fans & room to work inside. Clean looking. No window. Just works man. Didn't cost a lot. Sadly no longer in production. I got two personal mid tower cases made by PC Power & Cooling (2003 era). Back when cases where made of actual metal and not the thin plastic/light aluminum crap like is all the rage today. Also back when PC Power and Cooling were the gold standard in PSU's (before they sold out)

>>59799034
Sure, but you need a specialized tool to break car window glass. It's very tough to just accidentally break. Additionally, even if it does break, tempered glass crumbles into many small, dull pieces. It's possible to just scoop up the crumbs and throw them out without worrying about cuts.

So the sticker seems stupid imo.

Is reddit one of those new insults kids throw around like "cool", "meme" and "different"?
The amount of people who buys a desktop AND cares what it looks like is a small minority. Even among the people who uses desktops.
If you use something that you find aesthetically pleasing, then what does it matter if someone else agree?
