Most all cases look generic to me. The $50 cases look like the $300 cases.

Its the quality that differs example $50 dollar case. . ya bump it . .the front panel falls off the mounting plastic snaps off, the case door hangs off crooked after a week, Flimsy, Power buttons fall out.

$300 Case you can hop on top of it, kick it over. .give it dirty looks :D
Well for the most part. I want one thats all metal especially the front panel,
They all break from the crappiest case ever to the top of the line

well this one is all metal accept for the front panel. there are 2 brushed aluminium strips and the bay covers are metal too with dust filters. so there is little plastic in the whole case, its 25 pounds.

I don't really care about reviews for cases. If I like the look, it's a good case. If you like it, I say buy it. My current case I bought because it was only $10. I didn't particularly like it, but it was cheap.

I disagree. I've bought cases which look really good, but turn out to be crap. Not enough drive bays, or poor tool less drive fixing devices. That kind of thing.

Hmmmm.. This gives me an Idea. Next time I go uptown seeking a PC Case Im going to tell the salesman "If i can remove the front panel atleast 5 times, go turbo finger on the power button, and slap the front door open and closed and nothing breaks, I will buy 3.

Sounds like a video for YouTube :think: :D

Though Id have to add some noises from the 3 stooges. LOL

So far I've never had the budget for a case costing more than $10 (first was free with MIR, second $10 with MIR) so I've never experience any fancy-ness with any of my cases, all I've ever had to deal with is the crap. Though since I've never had better, I'm completely happy with it.

Ignorance is bliss.

You should get this case. (http://www.newegg.com/Product/ShowImage.aspx?Image=11-123-076-01.jpg%2c11-123-076-02.jpg%2c11-123-076-03.jpg%2c11-123-076-04.jpg%2c11-123-076-08.jpg%2c11-123-076-06.jpg%2c11-123-076-07.jpg%2c11-123-076-05.jpg%2c11-123-076-09.jpg&CurImage=11-123-076-01.jpg&Depa=0&Description=CHENBRO+SR10769-BK+Black+1.0+mm+SECC+Server+Case+3+External+5.25%2 6quot%3b+Drive+Bays+-+Retail) It is massive!, With nothing installed I think it is just under 50lbs! It holds upto 8HDD's, 3 CD-ROM drives, 1 floppy, and with the motherboard, psu installed, there is still plenty for water cooling. I am able to stand on it, I am 6' and about 210lbs. Not the smallest of people. It's only $125(US). I thought it was a good deal and like it alot, it is also 99% toolless. The only thing you need a screw driver for is the PSU, motherboard, mounting the sliding rails on the cd-rom, and hard drive(hard drive mounts into a bracket that holds 4 HDD's). Would recommend if you are looking for sturdy. The front is the only plastic, minus the usual plastic parts- fans/bracket, part of the bracket.

i already got the erenmax case and i like it alot. it holds 6 hdd's, 2 3 1/2 floppy's, 5 dvd burners. its all metal and only weighs 25lbs. and was only 114 CDN, also it looks alot better. is completely toolless accept for mobo.

now i'm disassembling it and am gonna paint it all black.
