"Beige box" ? No innovation for the past 30 years ?
It saddens me to see people compare a super expensive mac book pro case with the low end $30 cases. I'm not sure if its ignorance or blindness, but you should inform yourself on the high end market for desktop cases (and not just the external look of the case, the internals are what matters). It will cost between $150 and $300 for a really good model, but then again you're comparing it to a mac pro.
Companies like Antec, Lian-Li, Noctua, CoolerMaster, Thermaltake, ... Have spent the last decade or so making fans and cases that can cool down a maxed 2/3 GPU SLI running the latest game while still being silent for the high end gaming and power users market.
- bnastic 13y agoHigh end PC cases are mostly rubbish. I've had many of them, I've built many workstations over the years. None of them compare favourably to the (original) Mac Pro case. There has been very little "innovation" in that market segment. None of those companies have anough money or the market big enough to warrant R&D expenses.
- FireBeyond 13y agoI disagree - Lian Li has a V1020 case that I used and loved: http://www.techeta.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Lian-Li-PC-V1020-mid-tower-PC-computer-case.jpg http://www.techeta.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Lian-Li-PC... http://www.overclockers.com/lian-li-pc-v1020-case-review http://www.overclockers.com/lian-li-pc-v1020-case-review
