Do you retards buy a new case every year or something?

My case is the one thing that hasn't changed in over 15 years.

>>62356324
It's hanging by the screws.

Not sure what the strap is for.

>>62356342
I'm about to buy my third case in three years. My needs changed, so I went from mITX to mATX and now to ATX.

>>62356363
The strap is there in case the screws fail. If the PSU falls it will take the CPU out with it.

Thermaltake Blackhawk.

Case I have : Corsair Air 240.
Case I'd use for the next 10 years: Corsair Air 540.

While I love the size and footprint of the 240, its biggest and obvious downside is the room in it. I currently have a Corsair H100iv2 in here on a pull config through the case, exhaust out the top/back because I don't have the room on the top of the case to place the radiator without interfering with the motherboard. Also, forget getting a video card that doesnt fit within the area footprint of the I/O panel - the shit won't fit. I ended up buying a 1080Ti SC2 instead of the FTW3 because there is only so much overhead from the motherboard.

Don't get me wrong - I really like this little case, and its size makes it super easy to transport, BUT going back, I'd probably just stick with the 540.

one of these bad boys

>>62358267
I fucked up too. It's not a bad case by any means like you said, but it's not great either. Airflow is good but the overall design is really wasteful just to compartmentalize the PSU. A wiser designer would've kept the tooling and designed around an SFX power supply narrowing the PSU side and slightly expanding the CPU side to accommodate larger coolers on both the CPU and the GPU.

I don't know why you'd put an AIO on a case designed for air though, are you smoking meth?

I do. The drive cages are awful and rattle like crazy with an hdd at full load and take forever to change because they're not tool-less. It looks nice but it really wasnt worth the like $270 I had to pay for it.

I have a lian li full tower that ive been rocking for over 10 years already.

You can't boast with using something for 15 years when the shit inside is also 15 years. The longevity and viability of a case is determined by how long it can take CURRENT hardware, not shit you just don't want to upgrade to something current for whatever reason.

where do you even get these?

>>62369163
use one myself. During the summer have to take the front/top panels off because it runs a little hot.

All these cases with support for drive bays.

Get with the times. Onboard nvme for the short term, optane and similar tech (once capacity and speed improve) will replace both RAM and storage.

Don't tell me you still use optical drive bays.

Losers.

>>62374768
I do. Only when I want to install old games, like Crysis or Age Of Empires.

Also yes, I'm a loser, because I run 2 MBit internet on a PC with a 1080 Ti. A modern game needs 3 complete DAYS for downloading and I really wish games would be released on BluRay. This format is 2017 appropiate, delivering 50 GB of capacity. I wonder why no one uses BluRay, unlike the console faction.

I hope boards will have multiple NVMe slots in the future. I have one of these drives, it is amazingly fast, but useless because my normal SATA SSD only reads and writes 500 MB/s. My NAS HDDs only do 130 MB/s (Gigabit capped).

So I would need affordable 10 TB+ SSDs and faster Ethernet to get rid of HDDs. Unfortunately even 2 TB still cost 500 € and have no benefits for mass storage (videos).

>>62375041
I don't care about FFXV. Its not even released yet.

Every other AAA title can be compressed to 50 GB. I guess they aren't even compressed anymore, it will be playable directly after downloading. Like MEA, BF1, Star Wars Battlefront, they all have around 50 GB. I only talk about modern AAA titles.

Because unlike my R5, the 900D isn't soundproofed, and it's a very open (lots of holes) case where the R5 is a very closed case.

>>62360398
mATX cases can't fit multiple GPUs, which I didn't think I'd use.

Had my antec 900 for over 7 years.
Modified it by cutting some metal for better cable management and put rubber around the holes. Had problems with shorts in the past. Also replaced all the fans. The big one on the top was a pain to get.

It wouldn't be much of an imposition, considering I've already used the same case for roughly 5 years. If I were doing a new build, I'd probably be using a Phanteks Enthoo Primo, so I'd probably go with that.

like all of my other computers
"Rosewill 4U Server Chassis / Server Case / Rackmount Case, Metal Rack Mount Computer Case support with 15 bays & 7 Fans Pre-Installed (RSV-L4500)"

CoolerMaster Cosmos ii
if i had a lot of money and big space of room

>>62374235
I have a case that is almost exactly like that, but it is Antec brand not silverstone. I still keep it around and run my old XP machine in it.

I've used this case for 7 years or so, my only gripe with it is that GPUs are limited to 28cm, and no support for 240/280mm rads, and I could use a bit more hdd space.

I hate the new cases with no hdd space support. Was considering the Corsair 750D but not enough hdd bays and the case is a lot larger than it needs to be, and the 900D is just too fucking large and expensive.

I think I'll go with the MasterCase 5 Pro with optional drive cages.

Love how I can just replace the IO ports on the lianli as they sell service kits, but they just don't have a case that ticks off every requirement I'd have for a new case.

I used to hate my case which was a bit like in your picture. There was so much useless space making it bigger for no reason. I switched to Thermaltake Core V21 mATX case which feels much better. It has space but it doesn't look like it would have tons of useless space. There's room for giant GPU and dual fan watercooling for CPU and a big PSU and no ventilation problems since the sides are mesh. No hot air can get stuck in there forever. This is probably the case I'm going to be using from now on. It's not like future computers are going to get bigger and there's plenty of room for components as it is.

Yea, I built ATX configs out of habit, then I realized I have no fucking reason to do that, because the last card I've ever put in my PC that wasn't a graphics card was an ISA soundblaster. So I've gone mITX and didn't regret it.

What's the smallest case that can take a full size GPU, full ATX motherboard, 6hdds 1SSD 1ODD, and 120/240mm rad?

Fucking AM4 platform doesn't have a m-atx motherboard with 8 sata ports and makes you buy xbox hueg x370 chipset motherboards for 8 sata, don't need sli but fucking b350 boards only have 4 sata native with 2 more on some boards via 3rd party chip.

I've been using the same old case for 12 years so why stop now...

>>62379446
Asus PRIME B350M-A has 6 SATA ports and one M.2 port. Why do you have so many HDDs? Couldn't you have an external network drive for things that are stored and not in active use? You could then build your PC as you liked.

>>62379497
I'd like 8 ports, not 6, and the Prime B350M-A will disable sata ports when you pop in NVME drives, so you really only have 4 sata on the Asus board when you use NVME.

The AX370 Gigabyte Gaming K5 will have NVME, and all 8 sata ports enabled, at the same time.

I already have 8Bay external enclosures, I just have too many 1TB~4TB drives, when I should have bit the bullet and went with 8TB drives. I just retired all the sub 1TB drives this year.

>>62372872
Bought one and built my new PC on it. Absolutely loving it so far. Just a question though, did you have issues with cable management with the front panel cables?

an apple macbook pro with retina display has gotten me by since 2013 with no signs of stopping, so...

>the Prime B350M-A will disable sata ports when you pop in NVME drives
I didn't know this. Mine only has one NVME and one SATA SSD though, so without you telling that I would have never noticed it.

This would go well with my cock.li email address.

Thank you for converting me

>>62379407
I'd have totally gotten this instead of the Cooler Master XB if this had enough space for all my drives in it.

Looks aesthetic as fuck.

>>62379703
I bought one without and made an acrylic panel for it myself. Fite me!

>>62369247
sun microsystems knew how to make good looking servers and workstations, that looks fucking great

cooler master cosmos 2. but most kinda suck. maybe a define r5

Get on my level OP.

>>62362089
Why anyone would be any other case, besides perhaps that corsair one, I've no idea.

>>62380176
Why anyone would buy ATX I have no idea.

I've been using my case for the last 10 years, and I see no reason to not use it for the next.
Though its revision seemed to fix a minor problem I had with it IIRC. It's been a long time I checked.

Well, okay, and having a fucking window is ridiculous. At least it's towards the wall.

I'm already 7 years in on my Fractal Design Define XL. I think I can make it another 3 years

this is the apex of engineering and design, get over it

>>62374517
So tell me about the temperatures inside your case. These are literally air proof. No air whatsoever goes in or out. These are shit for any modern hardware.

t. I have one too

Needs more airflow in the front.

>>62379407
>>62379770
It's a great case. My only problem is my HDDs run hot. Need to add a fan in between them. I need to move the panels and radiators around from this pic. I'll probably do a custom loop when big Volta drops.

corsair is literally rebranded chinkshit

look at Gamer's Nexus review and it has the worst temperatures of all time, even getting ass fucked by InWins retarded closed box without fans case

only fat burgers who buys razer also buys corsair

>>62383292
thancc lad for the advice
gamer nexus has no review of this case though, he reviewed another corsair case though
so far all the reviews ive seen of the spec-alpha only have good things to say, it looks like a decent case with good airflow and a decent amount of fans, only gripe is

Ok, I've already been using the same case since 2008. Only thing I don't like about it is the weight, it's about 15kg empty.

>>62356473
That does look fucking perfect desu.

No ricey gaymur shit.
Not punched full of fucking holes for the 0.0001% who watercool.
No gimmicky doors or dumb shit obviously inspired by marketing.

Probably would last another 10+ years desu.
