    Default Not a case makes me smile

    I havent liked a single case i have seen.

    Of course there are a lot of cases out there wich have nice portions but i really havent seen a lot of cases out there that are supremely functional while still remaining astheticaly pleasing.

    After researching and compiling data for about 3 years along with many modified pc's for testing single theories.

    A revamp in the way we design our cases is well in need.

    My Project:
    To build one case with revolutionary, practical and asthetic qualitys that surpas most those made as todays manufactury cases

    I am interested in posting the my "In progress worklog" exclusively on TBCS and of course my own site


    This is my first ever modd and I am off to a really good start on the theory.

    Suggestions/Comments will be greatly appreciated.

    My first prob though were do I post a full case build rather than a single modd.

    3 years of research and compiling data... I can't wait to see your revolutionary case! I would like to see this vision of yours because I haven't really found a case that I liked either. Until I saw that Silverstone TJ07. I don't know why, but I seem to be drawn to the case.

    I've thought the same thing. Though I'm now rather fond of the TJ07 as well, I don't want to pay so much for what is still an ordinary looking case.

    [edit] well, relatively ordinary, it is unmodded ;p

    what exactly do you look for in a case....
    EPYK : very imposing or impressive; surpassing the ordinary

    lots of mod tutorials

    what exactly do you look for in a case....
    i for one look at potential for airflow, space, weight, and the option of changing things if desired. for those reasons... there are very few cases that actually appeal to me as well.

    ill be watching this one, and scrutinizing HARSHLY... or not. ill add in my two bits if need be. im always willing to offer my ideas, no matter how stupid they are, and often regardless of the fact that no one cares.

    i totally agree.. that's why i just browse to see what's out there.. i know the perfect thing doesn't exist... and i'm sure we can't build it either.. why? becasue it is very subjective.. if u look for scientific data only (materials, dimesion, phisical properties etc), a perfect case may be created.. but for one purpose only.. so the "perfect", with everything nice, the supreme utility and looks.. can sadly be achieved only by u, me, another modder or producer.. but never by everyone together that almost makes me...

    BTW, i think similarly and hit this problem some years ago too.. i have lots of sketches dating from before high-school, from high-school and even now some of my notes from college courses(which don't grab my attention) are "plagued" with "2D PAD"(paper assisted design )

    but the fact that there is no case i truly like.. makes me mod

    I don't want to pay so much either. I have seen the TJ09 but I heard that it will be priced around $250, which is less than the TJ07 (unless they price drop it, but unlikely by that much though), but is still pretty expensive for a case.

    I looks to have an interesting airflow design. I wonder how well it will actually work.
