Mid-tower. I bet that most people will have mid-towers with a few having full-towers.

Got some full tower that is more of a shell then anything. No particular brand that I am aware of and I'm about to replace it soon since it is like a Frankenstein case.

I dont really know what to call mine, since the side-panel is always left off to keep the GPU/CPU cool. I would say a smaller-sized mid-tower.

im using a NZXT M59 Mid Tower Case, good for a set up with 2 HDDs and 1 GPU. reason is because once you start to add card readers. fan controllers more then 2 HDDs the wires starts to get in the way on the panel behind the motherboard. there is hardly any room. its a good case for a gamer who wants a sexy looking case at a good price.

but i really want to get is a full tower case. i want all that room for cable management.

on the side note what are some good full tower cases for the buck?

I haven't had a full-tower since the mid-90's when it was still (somewhat) fashionable to have dual 5.25" 1.2mb floppy drives plus the newfangled cd-rom drives. I used every excuse to fill up the 5.25" bays.

Nowadays, a mid-tower is fine. I have the same X-Cruiser I first bought back in 2005. It's okay but a little flimsy. If I rested one foot on it with my shoes on, I'll probably dent the case. I'm thinking of transferring its innards to an older Antec steel (and beige case) that used to be my wife's old PC. That steel Antec's built like a tank. I can rest both my feet (while wearing boots) on it and there wouldn't be a scratch on it.

I forgot to add that I also had mini-towers (2 x 5.25" and 1-2 x 3.5" bays). But, I find mid-towers the most flexible.

Full tower for my flagship. (ABS Tagan Black Pearl, to be specific; it's a Lian-Li PC-V2000 offshoot.) The extra room is lovely and makes working inside much easier, though I have found that the reverse-ATX design of this case makes typical SATA cables barely long enough to reach the drive bays at the bottom. (I get the feeling that it was intended to be standard ATX, but wasn't converted completely for some reason.) Also, one of the side panels has a giant mesh window that ensures plenty of intake airflow. My backup/classic gaming desktop is in a mid-tower (Lian-Li PC-61), but that's more to do with not wanting to spend too much on a case for anything that isn't the flagship system.

Full tower. Something about the sleek, clean look of the CoolerMaster Cosmos 1000 and I just had to have it. I'm not a fan of most cases.....they may not be cheaply made or anything of the sort, but the looks of such cases like the HAF 912 (just an example) looks cheap. Plus I hate LEDs. On great thing about my tower is that I have a couple blue LED case fans running on it, but the covers and placements of the fans hide the LED. I got the fans because they can move air and were fairly cheap compared to other high air moving fans.

mid tower. Might go with full tower next time I get a new case for better airflow. Some of the bigger GPU's really cut the airflow in a mid tower almost in half depending on where the HDD bays are.

Mid Tower currently but looking to upgrade to a nice big full tower in the future. The mid tower is way to cramped for how much stuff I'm jammed in there and still want to put more into it! Its a big pain to work with when i open it up.

Mid-tower (Nexus Prominent 5). It's got enough room for my needs and is small enough for me to frequently lug it to LAN parties.

Full tower here. ATCS-840 to be exact. The first thing people say when they see my computer for the first time is something along the lines of "HOLY **** THAT'S A BIG COMPUTER!"

I normally go full tower. But my recent build is a mid. The Corsair 600t, although it's quite large for a mid! :shock:

I think mine's a mid tower.

Would like a full tower though. Would make cable management much easier.

Both, Antec 1200 for my main rig and an Antec 902 for my second rig. The mid tower was just to small to use with crossfire and everything else, it fit but it was cramped to work in.

My last build was a mid and I was like next one will definitely be full... Then I had to move and I was like I'm switching to laptops. If I ever get back to building it will be the smallest, least flashy case I can find. Overheating be damned!

The simultaneous best/worst mid tower on the market: the Antec P183. Great looks, great thermals, great noise control, reasonable price, but it took me 90 ****ing minutes just to install an SSD.

I don't get the appeal of the full-size tower unless you need the airflow for two monster GPUs and/or need a ton of HDD mounts. Mid towers are pretty spectacular these days (hell, there are mATX cases you can slap two 580s in no problem), so aren't you just spending more for a bigger, heavier case?
