Hey there. So a lady friend of mine has finally agreed for me to take that ye olde 2001 PC of hers and give it a complete makeover. Showing her a few cases to start off with for the outside look to go completely opposite to her cream (currently brownish cream) carry-handle-type she seemed to really fancy plain black with blue LEDs, maybe a fancy mesh in front. Do any of you have suggestions on good places to shop for cases and or model numbers for non-fongkong cases that look sleek and sturdy, with those specs? PSU with or without is not a worry.

Thanks
 
Well, what do you plan on using the PC for?

I have a Coolermaster Sniper Case and it would better suit a bedroom than my living room...Hence, I need to buy a case that look like a Media PC/HTPC to fit the look of the rest of my living room.
 
How much do you want to spend on the case?

I rebuilt my GF's parent's PC recently. Decided to go with a micro-ATX motherboard, and then to save on the cost of the case and PSU, got the following from esquire:

That case used to sell for like R200, nowadays it goes for R310 or so, and it includes a 450w PSU. Helps you spend some of that money rather on the inside parts.

It may be cheap, but it looks sexy, have sharp blue led lights, 2x USB ports on the front, as well as headphone/mic jacks in the front.

Oh, it is also fairly tiny, which is a +
 
Things we need to know before suggesting a case:
- Mobo size
- CPU Cooler size
- GPU size
- Budget
- All the little things you want (like front USB)
 
Anyone know where I can get a Fractal Design Node 605?
