What case should I buy?

[Tom01]

Hi guys,
Im building a new pc, but I dont know which case should I pick. The case will be between a wall and my table, so there is no point in transparent sides. I would like something subtle, but not too bland and only black. I like the looks of this: CoolerMaster MasterCase 5. Thanks for every suggestion.

If you are looking for a simple sleek black design, I would go with Fractal design, the Define 4 or 5 would be matches for what your looking for. But, it's all up to your taste. Hope you enjoy your PC

Much of this depends on how much you want to spend and how forward-thinking you want to be. What I just got was this one:

Be Quiet! Silent Base 800 (the build quality on this ranges from excellent to cheap plastic, but the configurations, room for airflow, mount points for fans and liquid cooling and general design are top-knotch) This case was around $130. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA68V2CX7228

If you want to go nuts with it, then I suggest getting something from CaseLabs, like these (but now you're talking $500-$600 and up just for the case) http://www.caselabs-store.com/pc-cases/:

SMA8
STH10

Honestly, if I had the money and no wife-induced "firewall" on my wallet, then I would get one of the CaseLabs ones, customized, and then pretty much call it done for cases for the next 20 years.

Otherwise, it looks like the one you've been looking at is a good deal, as well. I suggest planning financially for future expansions, which it looks like you've done.
