where to look for cases?

[ixiboneheadixi]

well im not a huge fan of many cases on newegg, and the ones i like i read reviews on them and people complain about space, now im looking for something that would look like an nzxt Guardian 921 or phantom or zero 2, just nice sleek look to it, and doesnt look like an averagme box, just slightly larger, and white would be best colour for me, black works too, as instead of going with average blue led fans or red, i want to do purple, i want this thing to have more shine the a christmas tree.

I've never gotten into the whole, my case looks like a UFO getting ready for take-off look, so I tend to find cases on Pricewatch.com, Tigerdirect, or Newegg. As long as they look like they're constructed halfway decently and meet the criteria mentioned above, I'll usually check them out if the reviews are good.

Which cases have space issue? The corsair 800D is massive and will fit any piece of hardware you throw at it.

i heard a lot about the phantom just being slightly too small

I just helped my friend build it and there's a ton of space, provided you use the cable management. I'm fairly certain newegg will have the widest selection of cases you'll find.

all the complaints i heard with the phantom is it was just slightly too small and if you kept the big fan in then a heatsink woudlnt fit

I highly recommend MicroCenter.com They might also have a retail store near you that holds high quality parts in store, as well. The Micro Center near my town carries high end processors, motherboards, and Video cards. Also, if you live near a MC, you can pick it up in the store rather than have it shipped. And, the prices may be lower than Newegg

I personally find a lot of new cases to be downright fugly. Hell, if I could, I'd find myself a roomy old Chieftec Dragon/Antec 1030 but no one sells them new anymore, there aren't any used ones locally, and shipping costs would be absurd.
