Case discusion
Hey all, in my many hours of boredom and in my time spent looking for a case for some people, I started to classify them in terms of cars (and I know I am not the only one).
For example a Thermalright Xaser III case is classified as a some large muscle car, like a 69 Hemi.
The Antec Sonata can be placed in the sorty Benz catagory.
Then there are the cheap imports that we see in all shapes and sizes.
I still have not found the Cadilac of cases.
This case should be huge, built like a tank, yet quiet and a joy to both work with and look at.
Price is not an issue here, as all Cadilacs are up there in the price range.
Alos this is for desktop computing so server cases do not apply.
I consider those big trucks, and pick ups (Mainly used for work, but some people like to have them for personal usage)
Once you think about it, it is amazing how the computer case industry and the automotive industry are similar. They all comes in differnent formats, different prices, different looks, and people mod them as far as they can.
Neon lights, body paint, cooling mods, sound systems, etc.
Anyway what do you guys think.

hmm...possibly the regular antec performance II's are cadilacs? they can be quiter than normal cases, but not necessarily on the level of the sonata....also tho i could see them as a porsche or the like.
EDIT: now that i think about it that's exactly what they are. they're a porsche. everyone thinks they're awesome...people use them for performance computers. those that do own them are completely loyal to them, and they cost more than regular cases. and of course they're completely awesome

The performance IIs are nice, and that window mod that comes with it makes look more like a Porche than anything else.
I am starting to think that some of the larger CoolerMaster cases can be seen as a Cady. They are ex*****ve, look good, have lots of room inside and are a pleasuer to both work with and look at.
Did I mention they are very ex*****ive.

Cooler Master cases go into the $250 range, without a PSU.
Now even LianLi cases do not go for that much.
As to the Enlight 7200, it is like a Honda Civic, or Accura.
The car most people have, and is the easiest and most used in moding.
