    Corsair Carbide 500R (White) with a window instead of the mesh fan grill on the side though.

    Re: Features - QOTW: Which PC chassis do you use?

    Lian Li T60 as I wanted an all passive rig so needed good natural ventilation and space for huge passive air-cooling. Came down to this or a LanBoy Air. This is cheaper and I like having everything mounted horizontally for easy access.

    T60 - nice concept but the whole thing is a horrible nightmare to put assemble and has a lot of stupid failings that could so easily have been sorted. That and they want extra money for front USB

    Re: Features - QOTW: Which PC chassis do you use?

    I have a green Sharkoon T9 Value. Nice looking budget case but poor on cooling and filters. I had to mod the case with a 200mm fan to blow more air into the case. The front usb ports are not well made and lost 2 rather quickly.

    Nice looking internally and good cable management.

    Will be upgrading soon as it gets dusty as hell.

    Re: Features - QOTW: Which PC chassis do you use?

    Since 2001 and up until about 1.5 years ago I was using a Lian-Li PC61 (the black sibling of the better known PC60).


    Especially in later years I had been looking at several other cases, because cooling started to lack and aluminium cases aren't the quietest, but I never found one that I was willing to swap the PC61 out for. IMHO, once you've had Lian-Li it's hard to go back to anything else. Also, the few cases that *really* interested me I didn't have the room for (I'm looking at you, Silverstone FT02).

    Then Corsair came out with the Obsidian 550D and I was pretty much sold on the spot. Although it's not *quite* as classy as a Lian-Li it gets very close and it suits my needs very well (reasonably quiet and reasonably good cooling). About my only real gripe is that silver-coloured plastic front panel. Come on Corsair, you could've made it from aluminium too and at the very least it could have been black. Oh, and the front panel cabel connects rather loosely to my motherboard.

    Original stacker by coolermaster. Great case for its time and still fuctional. Just needs a few extra 120 mounts added, nothing a little modding cant do.

    Re: Features - QOTW: Which PC chassis do you use?

    Coolermaster Silencio 352 mATX - nice case, but an absolute pain to work with. Cable management is awful and just getting 2 normal harddrives in the cage requires the removal of the cage. So close to being perfect, if it was a tad wider, had better positioning of cable holes and better HD Drive enclosure.

    Took me over 2 hours to sort it when I've done similar builds in 30 mins.

    Re: Features - QOTW: Which PC chassis do you use?

    I have had a Mountain Mods cube case for the last 3 years, and while I am reasonably happy with it (it's large enough to contain plenty of kit), for such an expensive (at the time) case, it was not as well finished off inside. If I was looking for a new case, I would probably go with Corsair, more than likely the Obsidian 900D (yes, I like big cases).

    Re: Features - QOTW: Which PC chassis do you use?

    Surprised there hasn't been more mention of this... but I'm using a Silverstone TJ07 with 2 loops in it.

    Been tempted by Corsair 800D and 900D a couple of times, but the TJ07 still copes with my current needs.

    Cable tidying could be a lot better and dedicated locations for rads would help, but otherwise I love this case.

    Think I must be the only one still using a Corsair 700d. It's big but had 3 different rigs in it. From first AIO cooler to full watercool. But seriously thinking my next build will also be new case and form factor, going mini.

    Antec P182. It's fine; quiet, plain looking, no window, though it surprises me by how heavy it is every time I come to move it. I'll be going with something much smaller like ncases.com for my next build.
