post cool pc cases

>>106270393 (OP)
Can you use that little shit as a fan?
If not, ugly useless design. Not cool

>>106270393 (OP)
cool as in temperature
or cool as in neat, i want that

bought the full tower version a few months ago to make a sleeper

Still my fav

>>106271461
have you made it?

>>106270393 (OP)
I had a case with one of those giant ass fans. It barely moved air and it died after 6 months.

Current case, is pretty great desu

>>106271548
>thermaltake armor mx
I had this with the side fan and those silly metal flaps on the front.
one time we had a lan party and my friend walked past my PC and his leg got stuck on the case. the armor piece took a piece of his skin with him, but the PC was unharmed so I guess it did what it advertised lmao

>>106270393 (OP)
the king

;^)

>>106271618
lmao that's literally the case I had

>>106271707
really? haha, nice. saw your post on the front page and had to google the fucker. cheers.

I like old steel fulltowers

>>106271448
still using my haf932. it's as big as a mini fridge and almost stays as cool inside

>>106271523
the whole setup is a bit of a wip but i did get my parts in, even threw in a quadro fx 1500 to do a windows xp vm with gpu passthrough

>>106271843
I have one of those from that same company.
I got it in 2002.
White people tell me to kill myself, and that I'm not white, even though I have blue eyes, pearlescent skin, and cyan veins, here on /g/ and /pol/

I recognise that font.

>>106272181
yeah white people aren't a color. you're a mixed race BROWN semite.

>>106272214

I'm irish, polish, and swiss-german.
Is that "brown semite"?

It's funny, you are doing the same thing I did in 2002;
Your PSU is going to blow up in some years
(note: those can take redundant PSUs) when you try to turn it on again.

After 20 years, with 10 years of being off, when my friend and I turned it on again, the PSU blew up.

Also you are doing this without the benifit of:
1) Pax/Grsecurity
Why make a linux server without that?
2) No anti-feminists like Hans Reiser in the kernel.
3) people saying "freetards" are not allowed to contribute to the linux kernel.

When I made my server
ALL linux code was "freetard" code.
There were NO feminists.
There was freedom of speech.

These people stole all this from us.
RMS will not do anything.

I'm dissed by people here saying "LOL U R WRONG: EVEN RMS DOESNT THINK GRSECURITY IS VIOLATING GPL!!"
etc.

You know Linux used to be known as the Hacker OS.
Now people like >>106272214 brag that there is no pre2000 code in linux anymore.
That hackers aren't allowed to contribute anymore.

We just have to kill these people.
And we have to torture linus for giving our thing over to them.
He is a traitor.
There are only traitors.

Anything is a case if you mount a tray to something.

Going to ignore my post, dipshit, I'll post it again:

Your PC has tasted blood. I hope you disposed of it properly.

>>106271931
Mines in the attic, I loved it so much I can't get rid of it.

>>106272180
damn that's a huge case
so much space

>>106270393 (OP)
Back when Silverstone made good products

I wish these things weren't so hard to find in Australia for a decent price, I want one for my next build.

>>106270393 (OP)

You know what grind my gears /g/ros? How most cabinets haven't settled on a topology that makes them easy to clean. Ie mostly long flat surfaces. I mean there just isn't any debate here. Same with peripherals and mice with holes in them. It's just harder to cleaner. I swear case manufacturers are just larping as designers in CAD.

i got the knockoff raidmax ninja back in the day

Imagine the dust buildup, haha.

>>106272329
I love convertible rackmounts.

>>106270393 (OP)
I went full rackmount years ago and so I haven't looked at tower cases in probably 10 years?
Does Lian Li still make crazy concept cases?

>>106276043
Or like this yacht case?

>>106275441
they still manufacture "old" looking cases that aren't zoomshit
here's ps16 I bought last year

>>106276043
>crazy concept cases
not a thing anymore
"craziest" case you can buy these days is that one geometric future that can't properly stand on surface

Shame this concept never caught on, having the entire case be a passive heatsink would be pretty sick

I want to get the Jonsbo D32, but man, the Terra is just such a beauty
The former is both cheaper and literally just a better case for airflow but the latter is so classy
My setup has wood so I'll likely stick with the Terra
Still torn though...

>>106276274
wrong thread tranny

>>106275565
I'm glad pidors like you were banned from Linux.

I got two of these a few years ago. They were trashed in shipping so I combined the good bits into a single ITX sleeper and replaced the LCD panel

>>106271677
I'd love one of these


>>106271843
Also pretty cool.

>>106276435
even though a ton of important kernel modules are now orphaned and unmaintained because of linus being retarded, while we work on our own kernel fork that actually works... unlike modern lunix

>>106276435

Why are you poor?

The coolest of all time

>>106275445
I went through two XPS 720s, I really wish I kept one to convert to standard ATX.

I like my PC case

>>106277386
Squidward.

I have this, is soooo cool

japan really made the coolest stuff.

>>106276092
>power supply at the top
:/

>>106270393 (OP)
This design is clever because a 400mm fan barely has to spin to push the same amount of air as multiple 140mm fans, so should be much quieter. Of course we can't have that now that LRGBT glass aquarium cases are the only thing normies want to buy

Post time stamp or it means nothing. That pic has been used for several years now.

It's a brown semite playing on your gullibility.

>>106277222
Kek, russtroon cannot afford non-chinese components.

this still looks cool to me

>>106271461
I had this one. It's so tall that I used to put my coffee mug on it, and one time I fucking tipped it over and the entire cup just spilled over it, somehow the PC survived

>>106279797
i would rather have that than the glass faggotry.

I'm looking for something that looks like a console around the Xbox 360 era. Slim, not too flashy but still unique.
Recommendations?

>>106270393 (OP)
What was the RPM on that big boi?

>>106280329
>thermaltake level 10 case
That's fun.

>>106282208
1

>>106271448
Excellent case. I miss 2009.

>>106276177
Back in 2012 or 2013 I did this with 120mm fans. I was feeling the first rush of money from tech employment, fell for the LED meme, and replaced all of my fans. I didn't want to just get rid of the pile of old fans, and my secondary machine was an mATX system in a case that was posts and panels arranged almost as a perfect cube. I could take off the panels and fit a 2x2 square of fans on each side, with some gaffer tape to seal the gaps.
I had to power them from an external AC-DC adapter, because when every goddamn surface is a fan, and you have 24 fans worth of cables, it's fucking impossible to keep the cables from falling into fans if you wire them up internally.

If I recall, it was configured as front + sides + bottom intake, top and back exhaust.
There was a weird mix of fan RPMs and I don't remember how I tried to balance it but I did try. I kept it that way for a month for the lulz. It definitely delivered cooler temps, but it sounded awful and there is no way it was worth the extra 30W idle power (or more when you factor in the awful efficiency of a cheap AC adapter).

>>106276181
This is awesome.

>>106283415
very nice setup, what case is that?

>>106283415
love cases with hard drive bays

>>106270393 (OP)
Picrel my original case, wish my dad didn't throw it away

>>106276229
Maybe because that case cost $1,500 fucking dollars

>>106283543
Looks like an Antec P180 mini

>>106283543
>>106284501
yup, it's a P180 mini.
wish they made a mini out of the P183, where you don't have to sacrifice the front intake for using the front cages. P183 fixed that for ATX (and I'd still be using it today if I hadn't moved on to SFF machines).

>5 extermal lockable hot swap hdd bays
>200mm fans, side intake has adjustable ducting
>removable filters on all intakes
>hinged side panel with pin/pad fan connection
>plenty of io bays, front usb, even esata

People (rightfully) shit on this case for looking stupid but the features were good.

>>106271378
picrel on right

>>106276043
Lian Li panders to gamer kids with RGBT+ light shows and glass panels. Gone are the times when they made sleek minimal design cases.

>>106284839
I think they may have actually started the glass-and-lights-only aesthetic

>>106283681
that's the best case of all in here

SGI's O2 and O2+ were cool. I wish I had one to mod to accept a modern mITX build or something.

>>106271479
I'll always regret not being able to afford one when new

>>106275445
i had one years ago. im from oz, i paid full rrp back in 2008 for the xps720 game package, was $3500 from memory.

Chieftec Bravo BL-01-B

>>106286442
Lots of the old Silicon Graphics stuff is cool. I started looking around at pics, and a lot of those setups had a connector I didn't recognize.

It's the longest vertical one with three brass connectors. Something called DB13W3.

>>106276181
I just watched this Techmoan episode too

Silverstone FT03

Old Acer veriton

*blocks your path*

>>106281591
Mousu bros, how do we compete?

Pimped out Lian Li. 2003, when blue was THE color.

Silverstone, back when they did fully aluminum cases. Absolute material overkill

Another Lian Li from 2003. Silver and simple.

Silverstone, again fully aluminum, probably a removable motherboard tray.

No idea.

Best ebay listing I've ever seen

>>106270393 (OP)
Friend and I were joking about rivnutting a box fan to my desktop the other day. Wonder how good the temps were on it. Back then we didn't care about the noise since all the hardware was noisy, GPUs, HDDs, ODDs, tiny CPU fans that scream, the squeal of a CRT.

>>106271448
man, this was the sickest shit to me

>>106276229
You can find it on integrated systems and some chink HTPC you can get on scamazon. I always liked the idea but it probably cost too much to produce the case since it was a slab of aluminum instead of just thin sheets.

>>106271618
I remember that or a taller variant was one of the few cases that supported 12x 5.25s

>>106288251
Hell yeah
>>106288277
I have an old Cooler Master Nvidia case that looks a lot like that one but more rounded

>>106288167
aluminium is garbage, steel cases are better.

>>106288180
>>106288159
Great knobs.

That's funny, coming from an actual fag like you. Why don't you go and fight in the war if you hate Russians so much? They say it's like a safari - no one but chmobiks with 1 Mosin-Nagant per 10 of them.

I have a deep love for those old HP Pavilion cases with AV inputs on the front, a hot-swap hard drive bay, and a space for you to install an iPod dock on the top, with the cables routed internally.

>>106288251
Hold up
Alphacool has an extremely similar design on a block but a bear

Nice "fanless" PC case

>>106294840
I used to have a mstly fanless watercooled gaming PC, which I had built with the A71F in >>106284839

>>106276229
Put a core i9-14900k in there and you don't need a cooktop
Run tri-SLI gtx480's connected to the case for cooling and you can replace your furnace as well

>>106294962
I've always thought about just getting a radiator for a truck and using a quiet fish tank pump to just pump coolant through the PC and it. Put the radiator on a 45 so air can pass through the fins naturally and it would likely be more than enough to keep the machine cool for days. Never went past the idea stage since air cooled has always just worked well enough for me.

>>106295754
The thermal mass alone should be enough that you can put the radiator wherever you want

>>106270393 (OP)
I had that case (or something very close to that) back in 2007~2010.
It wasn't really that good. I didn't notice any advantage over a more traditional case. The CPU (Q6600) and GPUs (8800 GT) I used back in the day were about as hot as any other PC based on online benchmarks.

>>106283681
>>106285716
vgh...

>>106295754
That's actually what the case modders and cooling fanatics did in the late 90s and early 00s before watercooling computers turned into a more widespread hobby.
