Ugh, this is a hard one, I've been dreaming up a giant case mod that I'd like to build for the last few months, I have lots of ideas but havn't found the right case to start with. I'm going to say if a Cosmos S and that HP Blackbird did it in an alley and then tried to abort, the case that survived would be it lol.

I would like a Light weight case that has a modern look to it. Inside would have a lot of cable managing options and possibly everything will be tool less. It also has to look kick ass with several LED that allows you to change it's colors. It will also have to have plenty amount of fans that are dead silent but blow tons of air

My own dream case would be a 100% custom design Mountain Mods case to hold 2x 140.3 radiators on the front and 1x 140.2 in the rear (the new ones from HWLabs Black Ice GTX series). It can cost up to 800-1000$ tho...

Beside this, mine is already a dream case with a 100% custom modded WaveMaster.

If money wasn't an issue I'd get the Lian Li TYR PC-X200.

Lian Li Industrial Co., Ltd.

It has evey option I could want. It's sleek, modern and beutiful. I like the 5.25 and 3.5 bays opening on the sides. Room for water cooling if I went that route. Dam I think this case has it all.

Well, for me it would be the HAF or a Thermaltake Armour, because I've never had a case like that before (only ever had a store bought computer). Lian Li's just seem a bit too plain for my liking, and I would be scared to be near it for the price it costs.
