    Re: What is the best looking computer case out in your opinion ?

    Is it common that windows are always on the left side of a PC cases ?, My left side of my future case will be against a wall, so looking for a case that the motherboard and window are on the right side. Is that going to be hard/impossible to find ?

    It used to be that most were on the left (as you looked at the front of the case).....more and more are on the right due to the "upside down motherboard" design.....which I personally prefer due to expansion card heatsinks facing upwards.

    I've got the Raven RV02 which is a pretty good looking case with the window on the right side, also the cooling in it is awesome thanks to how the motherboard is mounted and all the gigantic fans in the case

    My case is like this but, I do remember reading the instructions for a Zalman GPU cooler which said it was not suited for this set up (which I thought was strange).

    I've got a Thermaltake Level 10, it really isn't worth it's price tag! Great looking case but collected so much dust, did nothing to stop the components inside getting dusty and a was a right pain to use! Gone back to my old trusty Cosmos case now, which It think still looks the part!

    someone needs to design some classy and sleek cases, they all look too "EXTREME" and whatnot. And they are all black! I want a a blue one!

    Thats what I hate about them too,

    The cosair is o.k. but i hate white pcs.... yes even macs

    Gun grey and black is good combo but i see nothing at all in that, its either vile neon red and black like darth vaders toaster or so bland its painful.

    In that regard I almost feel like just buying damm hp or compaq again as even the best looking case I could find does look any better than my current presario .

    Thing is if im at my pc a lot i dont want something that looks so bad I get angry , or uncomfortable and most of these designs are just way too gimmicky for my liking.

    This last one looks just about right for me.

    silverstone and coolermaster ones sometimes look quite nice, but it's usually the cheaper ones! which means you don't get the good features on the inside!

    Re: What is the best looking computer case out in your opinion ?

    If we are talking about cases that can be bought, then something like the Silverstone FT03 is high on the list.
    However from a design perspective, many macs of the recent and past are high on the list, most especially the Cube (even if it's function was not up to par)

    Re: What is the best looking computer case out in your opinion ?

    If someone gave me a choice of any case I would be stuck between, Corsair 650D, Corsair 800D, those silverstone 90 degree motherboard cases, nzxt phantom, fractal design define and bitfenix colossus

    Im not sure about others here but I was hoping for both, or somewhere inbetween

    BTW is there any problem with buying stuff form the US i.e. due to voltage difference ?
