Post PC Cases
heres a few i picked up from web-pages of different manufacturers. My search criteria was 1. Low-bling and 2. USB and other plug-ins should be on the top corner of the case.

Do any of those have front doors? Those are basic requirements for me... my cases have a tendency of getting based on and I'd hate to lose a cd/dvd rom to an accidental chair crushing.

I like the look of the last one, but I'm not much of a case fanatic myself. I used to be, but when i came accross a high-end case of a high-end brand (Antec) not being able to accomodate my chosen hardware I got fed up with it. :roll: But that's just me.

Rosewill is with a door, and it opens to a whopping 270degree so when open it goes all the way against the sidepanel. Not sold here though.

The gigabyte one costs a nice 300$ in US and a ridiculous 600$ here in Estonia.

That's cool. I think I liked the Rosewill the most out of the group.

BTW, I meant to say I bash the front of my case. Not base. Freebasing cases ftl.

I agree on front panel usb connectors being a must. Too bad Shiny destroyed mine. :roll:

I'd probably go with with Codegen if I had to choose, but neither really float my boat all that much.

yeah, but they are cheap, around 75$ here, so it would be like 60$ in US.

to most case manufacturers id like to present a question: Do you feel that your customer is a damn monkey with 2m hands?

Where does the idea come to put the power button to the lower end of the case, it defies any common sense.
