I loved the NZXT Rogue cube case, which appears to be discontinued. I would love to see more Desktop|Cube style cases that allow heatsinks like the Thermalright U120E to be mounted and don't have brackets|case supports blocking the installation.
What I would like to see in a case:
- Removable motherboard tray
- Front removable hard drive bays, which allow you to hot-swap drives
- Brushed aluminum. Not that thin flimsy crap either. I don't care if the case weighs 80lbs. I mean, how often do you move it anyways?
- Large quiet fans with easy to remove and easy to clean filters. Proper placement of fans and you can get away with only 1 intake and 1 exhaust fan. 140mm probably minimum for quietness
- No more windows, weird angles, mesh. I like nice clean looks and most cases today look like transformers wannabes
- DROP THE BLUE|RED|GREEN LED FFS!
- Front USB, Audio, eSATA, Firewire at the bottom of the case, not the top. I'm sick of my DVD drive opening and getting stuck on headphone cables
- More room for today's HUGE ASS VIDEO CARDS please. I can't use two hard drive bays on my Antec 900v2 because my video card takes those spots.
- Tooless
- Options to mount hard drives in other locations beside the normal front. Front intake fans blowing air over hot hard drives into my case.....see my point?
- SSD Mounts
I think that's about it for now. I go through cases like Taco Bell at 2am and still haven't found the perfect case. Some are close, like the original Antec 900 and for the Micro-ATX the NZXT Rogue was pretty sweet. Thanks for listening
LOLZ, my plan worked out perfectly... i didnt notice there was a thread for this contest! Ha! I am such a n00b! Anywho ill take pictures when it all gets installed! w00t for my l00t!!!

Actually, I might like to see them in this case, too.
And then I use random.org to pick a random number.
Congrats TurboPenguin! I'll PM you to get your contact info.
Prayer, you have failed me for the last time!!

That sounds like a Tea Party descriptor.
Looks like I'll have to actually buy a replacement for my Tempest.
I've been LOL for a solid minute on this one
