I can't seemed to find a full tower case that isn't ugly...

I keep looking for a cosmetically attractive case but they alway's lack features..

I keep coming back to this case... but it's so.... UGLY...

It gets the job done and then some though.

I guess I might have to stick with the HAF X.

I personally love the Antec LanBoy cases.

They got it in Blue/Black and Yellow/Black.

I'm a fan of the subtle looks of the Corsair Obsidian 700 and 800.

I'd recommend the Phantom as well. It looks sleek and very different from your typical rectangular-shaped cases out there.

Assuming you're looking for a sleeker look, some other ones you could look at too are the Silverstone RV01 or RV02 (I use the RV02, and I absolutely adore it), the Cooler Master ATCS 840, and, if you don't mind the smaller size of a mid-tower, the Corsair 600T.

The RV02 and the FT02, both by SilverStone, are cases that I would recommend as well. The 90 degree motherboard turn is nice and it makes sense. With the heat being expelled UP out of the case and having positive pressure, the video cards stay cooler as does the CPU and other components.

Nice but it's still too small. I need to fit a 5970 which is about 12.5 inchs and that only holds 11 I think it said.

I have one, and it's not ugly at all. The only other case I like is the Antec Twelve Hundred.

wait do you prefer flashy case or classy cases. cuz nothing says win like the obsidian 800D if you prefer something that looks sleek. Otherwise, listen to some of the other suggestions for the case with the most lights and such.

the thing about the HAF cases is that you wont get a case that is as good as them for air flow (and size i suppose) which is the most important thing about a case, if i were you id just get a haf 932

These seem to be in your price range.....are all excellent quality cases, but don't know if they fit your definition of a slightly sexier case..

You need to do more google searchs....

http://www.maximumpc.com/article/news/antecs_lanboy_air_one_cool_looking_chassis

"Other features include 11 total drive bays, CPU cut-out, support for graphics cards exceeding 15 inches, three USB ports (including a single USB 3.0 port), and a bunch of parts to move around and customize."

The video card will go in BETWEEN the drive racks.

Look at the video at 6:10.

I like the Whisper case, very plain and stylish looking, all the jagged edges and lights everywhere don't interest me.

Get the Fortress 2. It has a Silver one as well, and comes windowed or not windowed. The airflow design is the best I've seen in a long time. It operates on the theory of "positive pressure" where there is more air pressure in the case as opposed to out of it. It has 3 fans on the bottom (I don't remember the size but they're really big) and most of the case is closed off from dust or air. There is exhaust fans, and the power supply's air does NOT go into the case or come from the case at all, so that's a big heat saver there. All the air moves up and out. That with a Corsair H70 is a great thing.

I like the NZXT Phantom as well. Good features and has a more unique look, without being ricer. Price is also competitive. Corsair 600T is good too, advertised as a mid-tower, but it's probably larger than a lot of full towers inside. Can easily fit any video card.

I like my CoolerMaster Cosmos 1000.

I just wanted something that looked good, has decent air flow (the stock case fans are ok, you might want to pick up some better fans to push more air in/out) and the sound dampening helps kill out a good chunk of sound unless you crank the fans on your GPUs (I run two in SLI).

I grew tired of the gawdy looking cases with clear side panels and all those damn LED lights. I just wanted something that looked good and was full sized.

The Silverstone TJ07 is probably the best looking case there is though it will cost you about double the HAF. The Lian-li PCA70 can be found for a resonable price and it's half way between a neon gaming case and sleek business case. The Lian Li PC9B, Coolermaster ATCS 840, Coolermaster Cosmos and Thermaltake Speedo are worth a look too.

I was thinking of that one as well, my PSU and CPU cooler are both corsair so why not get a case. That can easily fit a 5970 and possibly two? Gonna google it.
