The overclocker's section has a 3dmark ranking so why not we do a sexiest case ranking.

The rules:

[Everyone get's 3 votes and I'll periodically update the number of votes on each particular case and make a ranking here on the first post

You can also suggest casings that's not listed...new or old or classic also can

Edit: Due to bandwith limitation...only the Top 5 will have picture

And it's only for casings that you can technically buy. Not those bundled with system or one off mod-jobs.

To start things off....

Off topic:

ATCS/Coolermaster ATC-201B still can find at market?

Cannot ler...but doesn't matter. Old casing new casing...Icute also can if you think it's sexy....

But I still cannot believe a sound insulated piece of plastic like the P180 is thrashing those lovely lian's

Come come...Calling all Ah Lian lovers!!!

1) Antec P180 (11 votes)
i vote
now that is sexy

i want...how much?

my vote is on the v1000b and tj-07
we can't get the tj-07 in malaysia rite

The title states 'Sexiest chassis', not build quality ma, of course P180 pwns V1000. P180 is like a bimbo, sexy from the outside, crap in the inside.

vote for antec p180

how much is Antec P180? i like it too.

Around RM600

Actually I think P180 is more like this:


And the Lian Li V is more like this :


This post has been edited by sniper on the roof: Jul 18 2006, 04:14 PM

I see it this way
P180 should be like this:



V1000 should be like this:

im lone ranger

v2100B

Can vote all three on one ar??

1) antec
2) silverstone

icute is a NO NO.. bad built-up quality

1/ akasa eclipse-62
2/ chenbro gaming bomb II
3/ nzxt lexa

My vote would be;

1) Lian Li V1**
2) Antec P180

my vote goes to ATCS/Coolermaster ATC-201B

Vote for 2) Silverstone TJ-07

Lian Li V1000

Apple G5 for me

my vote goes 2 lian li v1000 series

Ah well...different strokes for different folks.. At least it's not Margaret Thatcher nekkid on a cold night

Sorry ya....itu tarak kira cos technically ya can't buy it

1st Vote: V1100B

2nd Vote: P180



3rd Vote: Undecided

All casings look the same la

I wanna suggest Thermaltake Tsunami Dream, with the front lights off.
2. Lian Li
3. akasa

#1. Voodoo PCs Omen case, custom made by Lian Li. They absolutely roxors with the added touches like the mirror shine interior panels.









2nd wud hafta b the Lian Li V Series since that's the closest I can get to a Voodoo.








3rd wud b the Silverstone TJ03. Lovely classic look. Built like a tank. This is the case that Talon PC use for the 1337 rigs that they sell.

1) Antec P180
2) TJ-07
3) Coolermaster Stacker 830

well, actually most people who bought the Apple G5 chassis didn't know that it comes with all the hardware inside (i.e. the G5 proc, hdd, mbo and stuf)

so, you can technically say that the casing is on sale, and you get all the things inside free when yuo buy it.

still, G5 for me. Even the LianLi v11000 has G5 resemblance (the honeycomb grille and the leg stand, not forgetting the color)

Antec P180B
Silverstone TJ07
Akasa Eclipse 62

silverstone TJ07 is my dream casing.

Lian Li V1000 Series!!!
damn cool...

my vote goes to the antec P180...
since i own it

i vote for:-

1)Lian Li PC V2100B
2) Silverstone TJ-07
3) Lian Li V1000 series

1 Lian Li V1000plus black
2 Lian Li V1000plus black
3 Lian Li V1000plus black

'nuff said

i vote Antec P180

I vote for

1)CM wavemaster after sanding with 2000Grit sandpaper to get mirror finish.
2) Antec P180

I'm curious how you get around sanding a Wavemaster with 2000grit.

As for my choice... well I can't wrap my mind around anything in particular right now, but from what sniper posted:
P180 - Looks sleek, but c'mon guys, black plastic is NOT sexy.
V1000 - Looks good, but meh, I don't like the cheese grater surface.
ATC - Well it's classic, but too standard.

So my choices:
TJ-07
PC-767
Maybe a NSK HTPC case.

CM stacker 830 for me....

cm centurion 5???? for me it's quite nice...

Not really.i seen the interior before.i like the interior as well.

Well maybe its quite nice but we're talking bout exotic casings.Tht's....well..special.

My preference is for the v1000b NOT because I own it but because:

1. Construction is excellent. High quality aluminum which does not creak, bend but consequently is rather heavy. The wheels are necessary as are the rubber lining the wheels or you'll have deep gouges on your desk.

2. Layout is very good for air cooling albeit with some slight modification. The stock configuration with a single intake fan which is directed at the harddrives and the lower compartment should be sufficient for most setups. However... if you're buying this case, you'd probably have some major hardware to keep cool... Addition of a second intake fan in the upper compartment is relatively easy and LianLi have this available as an optional accessory.

3. Cable management is the best I've seen in ANY case. The ability to route cables through the back of the case, behind the drives etc. etc means that you can hide all your cables without making much further modification.

4. Heat buildup within the case is nonexistant. The addition of a second intake fan and a configuration in which air passes horizontally through the case makes for very good thermal control.

There you have it. My two sen.

here's my list then ..

1) Windy Alcadia XR-1 BK


2) Cooler Master Cavalier T01


3) Antec P180

owh dang~ come to look at all the 3 casings, all looks like a fridge... ngahahahaha..

uh uh Silverstone TJ-07

wow Windy Alcadia XR-1 BK inside looks great! Er...the outside not so fond.

Amen to that...

Speaking of which, could you mount the HDD's with the the cables facing away from sight? Are there enough clearance for the power connectors and sata cables to turn?

All Soldams are sexy but they're sooooooo darn exclusive. Though now you can get a pirated version in the Lian Li S80


Huh? That's sex appeal ler....simple yet oozing with quality. Like a B&O hifi set versus the jumping LED Sanyo's and Aiwa's.

Aspire X-Navigator Aluminum Case


Aspire X-Cruiser Metal Case

sweet stuff, diz PC-767 Plus...

Sure boh? Those Aspire really really really really really really really really really really FUGLY leh.

PC-767 is nice ler....dun really like the tai-chi theme though and the cable management's gonna be a mess due to the inverted mobo but psu on top.

This post has been edited by sniper on the roof: Jul 19 2006, 11:53 AM

My vote goes to Lian Li V1000.

I have two units of these.

Coolermaster Stacker 830 have my vote ! i want that case!

c o o l e r m a s t e r p r a e t o r i a n 7 3 2

i vote for
1) Antec P180
2) Lian Li V1000
3) ATCS/Coolermaster ATC-201B <---- Praetorian brother rite? macam sama aje.. kakkkaka..

Sekaligus guna SEMUA VOTE

Can. U can c it in the Voodoo Omen pic I posted earlier. The HDDs there r the other way round.

My vote is for

Lian Li V1000 (because its soooo sexy)

Thermaltake Shark (my own case) - which incidentally also allows you to hide drive cables because of its 90 degrees drive bays. Cases with the standard drive bays are much too bothersome when it comes to ease of accessability and cable management.

Additional vote - lian li v1000 series and centurion 5
voted 1 in pg 2 nia

my 3rd vote would be the gigabyte 3d aurora
it think its an ok casing

Ok, i will go for the great look Windy Alcadia XR-1 BK

i vote for 1, 3 and 5

P180
P180

&

P180

IMHO, my moded Atrix is the sexiest, but in LYN...the Lian Li V1000 Series especially the black one gets my vote...god, i love this case...just take a look of it HDD rack, PSU, mobo...simply sexy...

i vote:
1. Silverstone TJ-07
2. Tt Shark
3. Antec P180

Why no one vote for Lain Li - PC-7 II ?

I think it is a nice case with good cable management skills as well....

i'll put down 2 votes 1st,
SilverStone TJ-07
SilverStone TJ-03

Gigabyte 3D Aurora

since i hv 1 of this....

Har! Finally another person who likes the TJ03. I was beginning to think no 1 else heard off or liked the TJ03.

my vote go for Lian-Li. quality case.

Which one ler dood?

Lian Li V1000 & Silverstone TJ-07 series. The rest are ahbengz.

pcV1000 here

wow nice sig

Coolermaster Stacker 830 FTW!!!

Lian Li V1000 FTW!

I own the PLUS version!!

what? No Chieftec Dragon series?

Greetings threadstarter,
My vote goes to 1) Antec P180
The design looks cool and nice ....

Regards,
Hughie

Vote casted to Antec P180

I'm using the ATCS now...

But after reading reviews on the P180..I think it deserves my Numba ONE vote. Followed by of course ATCS...lurve the simple elegant design. Lastly, its a tie between Lian Li v1000 and Akasa.

OT: Btw Snipe, are u using the Akasa? those on rollers ?

ATCS/Coolermaster ATC-201B can own most of all

V1000B!!! must support own casing

Yup...can be fitted with rollerskates.

Poll updated.

out of frustration, my final votes goes to......

has to be Antec P180
