Best PC case of the year

For me? It's the Fractal Torrent

I turned myself into a pickle op!

>/g/s favorite Taiwan slop vendor does something
>suddenly it's the best
IDK what the difference is between the OP pic and my no name case that has fans in all the same positions
Hell, I can even mount a rad at the bottom.
>>
>>106513306
It's the only objectively good case without glass panels, but it's too big, too heavy, the feet have too much grip, and the panels come off way too easily when you try to pick it up. Moving my PC is a nightmare.

What about the Torrent Compact or Nano?

Moving the PC around. Come on now.
>>106513390
I was buying cutting-edge parts and I was worried about suffocating them. Maybe that wasn't the brightest idea.
>>
>>106513237
I would've bought it but no top I/O which is dumb that side I/O placement isn't ideal for me. They used to have it in both places and the newer glass version will return the top I/O too so this model gets screwed just on that oversight
>>
>>106513237
> anything glass sided
OP just announce you like sucking cocks.

If they sold a version that didn't have any of the wood, I would get one.

What about a case from junkyard from 2000s? My ATX gaming case with am4 after socket 462 always will be cool and it hasn't so awful look. For upgrade to r7 5700x it's enough with 2-3 coolers, because this windproof coffin needs more air flows for powerful variations.

Looks better than my bequiet. :(

>>106513237
no external bays, weird location for ioports, like this thing is not even made to be on the floor, is that woodgrain, holy bad taste...
if you have your case on the desk you're gay or kid just saying.

This case was able to withstand my 18mo toddler pushing on it (because my lovely, fantastic wife opened the door to my home office while I was on a business trip because "the baby wanted to see it"). She literally took a picture of it and said that she's nervous that it's too heavy for having a child in the house and "what would happen if it falls on him." Thank you for reading my fucking blog

>Moving the PC around
Why? And if you really need to just pick it up and move it, retard.
>>
>>106515367
Why the fuck are these so expensive?
>>
Cases are so ugly these days it kills what little will people have left for building pc's.
Like manufacturers have one task here, to design a case and they come with gaudy shit like this thread.
>>
>>106515604
No idea, hoping I can snag one on sale if they don't sell too well at that price. Silver one looks fantastic.
>>
>>
>>106515483
Just teach your toddler not to touch it. I can't get my kids to stop putting their grubby fingers on my television, but they know they're not allowed to touch the computer. Sucks about the wife, I know the feeling.
>>
>>106513306
i wonder why modern cases no longer have the psu at the top, using it as an additional exhaust seems like a good idea

Objectively wrong.

Holy shit, I never saw this and need one.

fear of it coming loose and hitting shit on the way down

>>106517639
The torrent has it in a compartment, wouldn't happen if they spend the extra $0.03 on something to hold it up there.

>best of the year
which year are we talking about?
>>
>>106513799
>>106515590
Because I want to move it between my office and my living room occasionally. I'm making VR games. There isn't enough room in my office for two dipshits to flail around whenever I invite my friend to hang out and try my game.
>just pick it up and move it
It's very heavy and I'm a weak man. Besides, the panels tend to fall off when I lift it since they're held on with magnets.
>>
>>106518365
just have it on a stand with wheels?
>>
>>106513237

No.

retards really think the pc case wasn't solved decades ago and that they need to buy the new and improved version every year
it's a fuckin box with holes bro
enjoy your rgb, faggots.

>>106513306
this reminds me of a skyline gtr r35 for some reason

Nothing comes close. I wish they would make a solid panel variant though. I don't really care about staring at my internal components.

I built a machine for a friend using that case recently, was great, 8/8 would do again
>>
does anyone else orient all the fans on the top and front as intake and only use the rear fan as an exhaust? tons of positive pressure leave no dust, and temps stay icy cold
