Hi Guys,

I want a case that looks somewhat like this. If this is a good brand I'll go ahead, but I don't mind spending more for a better brand which looks like this. Want black though.

Yeah CM is good - I have the CM694 got it more than 4 years ago, good solid build.

I like this type of design too that you posted - I got Lian Li O11 dynamic evo (somethine like that model name) which looks the same...

Just note one annoyance with my CM694 the USB ports are at the top and the Type-A ones the pen drives face AWAY from you so you cant see the light and another is the case is on my desk so I have to keep standing up to plug/unplug USBs haha - I just use a USB extension cord now due to that.

No such annoyance with my latest Lian Li cabinet though - very happy with it - but I think it costs double of the one you have shortlisted.

Link to your new Lian case please? Cost is not an issue, but the Lian case I had seen has the power button on a bevelled edge between the top and the front. I use a switchbot on my PC so that my entire golf sim room is automated. The switchbot wont sit on that bevelled edge.

Cheaper option to Lian Li is this very similar looking cabinet from Thermaltake :Thermaltake View 380 TG ARGB Snow Mid Tower Cabinet CA-1Z2-00M6WN-00 @7k (3 years warranty)
Or
If you still want to go with Lian Li cabinet : Lian Li O11 Dynamic EVO RGB (E-ATX) Mid Tower Cabinet (White) @16.8k (1 year warranty)
