I've been looking for a new case for quite a while now and can't seem to find one that has everything I need. At the bottom of this post I've listed the brands I've searched.
So I'm wondering if any one knows of a Niche-market brand that might suit my needs.
Don't want tempered glass or all flashy fronts and lights, They don't do anything for performance.
So.. This is what I'm looking for
White case (If not white, I will be spray painting it white, so rough finish matte black won't turn out well when painte).
The top must be flat; no dome top cases that restrict good airflow.
Must weigh less than 20kg/45lbs empty.
Support for...
Brands that do not have what I need
I've also considered building two systems into one with the W200 and P200 from Thermaltake. Problem is it will be 60kg when finished and may not support enough Optical Drives.
Cost is a secondary consideration.
Not asking anyone to spend hours looking, I've already done that - Just wondering if any enthusiasts may have come across such a case.
