only gay men children use windowed cases

they look fucking retarded and no one gives a shit about your leds

gay man child detected

It's a fact that only gay manchildren use windowed cases.

>windowed case

i thought everyone grew out of that LED/windowed bullshit after their first build

>tempered meme case to show off seizure of RGB shit

I'm starting to miss the days of ugly cases with sharp edges inside and non-modular spaghetti power supplies.

my first build had non-modular parts and a windowed case haha

Was in the market for a new case. Might consider it if it's not garbage.

Some people like to show off the things they like and build.

...

you didn't 'build' anything you retarded gay man child

you put legos together

like 5 of them

>baaaaaw I don't like to show mai peecee to everione! I'm just a misunderstood genius!
Get fucked, fatso. I love to show my pc to my family or friends. I'm not a sociopath like you.
Come on, give me some (you)s

>the gay manchild makes another post

samemanchild

>No rubber grommets
:/

It's a fact your opinion is shit.

...

>All these fags missing the point

NZXT's entire case division revolves around the S340 Elite. It is the ultimate meme case, because aside from the trend-setting aesthetics it's inferior to the cases of Phanteks, Fractal, etc.

Now Phanteks is putting out a case that's basically identical to the S340, in both function and form, and at 60% of the price. They not only undercut NZXT's own flagship case, they're demonstrating that tempered glass panels and LEDs and all that shit is just window dressing that doesn't really have any value.

Phanteks has made meme cases cheap, and their own model hierarchy is now based primarily on function. Their more expensive cases are more expensive mainly due to FUNCTION rather than FORM.

With one case they've flipped the man child market on its fucking head.

>love to show my pc to my family or friends

Not trying to be offensive but why? Do you think they care? I just cant understand why you would want to do that.

uh oh I think we further broke the homomanbabby

but my NZXT looks classy as fuck without a dumb window

Do they have an even cheaper version without the glass panel?

...

>why?
it's autism and not in the meme sense

Because tech incompetent normies will think you're a genius and an elite hacker because you played legos with some PC components

>windowed side panel

you inability to empathize with others and understand the difference between your feelings and objective reality is literally autistic

did i strike a nerve, autistic gay manchild?

Because It's like a new tv or a new bed. You are a human and you like to say "heh, look at my new fridge! It's so tall and with a high capacity!"
So your friends or family say: "wooooow! That's a great fridge! congratulations! I love your fridge!"
Then you feel happiness and pride about your new fridge. Repeat this with other stuff.
Maybe I'm too old to stay here and trying to teach some basic stuff to the people around here.

Fact: windowed side panels are for manchildren

These are wrong, though. An opinion is something an expert in a given field has on something related to said field. Even if a doctor doesn't have evidence that you'll be dead from cancer in 6 months, his opinion might be that you have 6 months to live given similar cases he's seen during his career.

If you're not an expert on a subject then it's not an opinion, it's an unfounded belief.

Yes but nothing about that sounds desirable. Actually building your pc to show it of to people who dont even care about that stuff must the worst autism ive ever heard of.

>Actually building your pc to show it of to people who dont even care about that stuff must the worst autism ive ever heard of.
So, tuning a bike or car is autism too?

Yeah youre too old obviously.
Cause feeling pride from material goods is a sure way of knowing youre a mature and intelligent person.

DIYPC offers TG at similar prices. Nice to see an actual quality name dropping that low.
Also, even if TG is an interesting development for the case industry, windows are still for fags.

All of you fucking faggots arguing over who the bigger faggot is with, "MUH GLASS" Or "HUR DURR MANCHILDREN" should fucking neck yourselves. All of you neets get all steamy over some people's opinions and it's cancerous.

But you'll get in the newspaper for being a genius black teenager and maybe even invited to the White House to receive a medal from Obama.

Welcome to the reality. We are all in the same way. Sooner or later you will know about it.

windowed case manchild detected

As in ricing your car or bike? Yeah thats retarted too.

Calm down, I enjoy to talk with the people around here, It's hilarious.

>look what mom bought me for christmas guys
i grew out of that phase around the time i left high school

are you fucking 15?

>tempered glass
why couldn't they just put regular glass in it? It doesn't need to be tempered for any of the heat of the air inside the case

>Appeal to authority fallacy

>You didn't fab those chips!

Building, by it very definition, is putting things together you autistic fag-lord.

When was the last time you cleaned out your $400 bestbuy pc? lmao

34 to be exact. Living with my wife in my apartment. Will you stop me to have some fun showing my stuff to my friends or family? Uh? Will you?

sure you are.

I knew it.

I'm not much for windowed side panels but for the build i'm making i can't find a cheap case without them that has the same benefits than a meme case for around 60$, you guys are hating on this case but is there any nongamer case with these specs? (Dust filters, good size, smart hdd and sdd caddys, amazing cable managment, 2 3.0 usb ports on the front, 140mm fans everywhere) pls enlighten me

Yeah, most of these people have literally 0 real life experience with human beings so the lack a certain amount of empathy. But it is still hilarious

knew what

>windowed case

>I don't like the way PC components look, so you shouldn't like yours!

>Be in military
>Have LED shit
>barracks inspection
>It brings up a convo from the 1SG and distractions him from anything I might have left fucked up
>Never fail inspection, never have to do a GI Party.

Use the LED MEME TO YO ADVANTAGE SON

Hey-seuss Cristos that's a lot of funny ass hyperbole, marketer bro.

Tell Phanteks I luh dem doe!

...

The PC's primary purpose since its invention was to complete computational tasks for its user. There's no need to gawk at your PC for how it looks. As long as the form factor is good enough for it to not invade into your work space, it's doing its purpose just fine.

Imagine if idiots like you felt the need to have pride or to display RGB, lightning effects, tempered glass, and mechanical switches for a hand held calculator.

Anyone in their right mind would think, why is this guy so fucking stupid? He's not even using it as a calculator anymore. He's just buying it to display it as a showpiece.

It's like modern art for retards.

Sup Forums hates windowed cases but loves this old tech trend.
please explain

...

Sup Forums hates windowed cases and nobody from Sup Forums is old enough to know what a gameboy is.

just how fucking new are you

>t. Sup Forumsermin

t. redditor

nice

>the sun is hot
That isn't a fucking fact, what the hell

>The PC's primary purpose since its invention was to complete computational tasks for its user. There's no need to gawk at your PC for how it looks. As long as the form factor is good enough for it to not invade into your work space, it's doing its purpose just fine.

This argument is stupid.

Form and function are not mutually exclusive. People like to own things that not only do their job but look good while doing it. Owning these kinds of objects bring pleasure independent of the actual function.

You're not arguing against side-panel windows and RGB strips, you're arguing against industrial design as a whole and that's a losing argument.

People don't just want a car that gets them from A to B safely and efficiently, they want a car that looks nice.

People don't just want a house that shelters them from bad weather and niggers, they want a house that looks nice.

People don't just want appliances that function as they should, they want appliances that look nice.

People don't just want furniture that's comfortable and durable, they want furniture that looks nice.

People get off on having a nice house and having nice things in that house. It's an animal instinct. Having a PC that's aesthetically pleasing is no different.

I'm sorry you're so poor and mad about it. If I was running a Pentium 4 I wouldn't wanna show it off either.

If your house has any sort of decoration of any kind, and your walls are any other color than egg shell white, and your carpet is anything other than beige brown. Move, now.

If your refrigerator is anything other than a box with shelves and a handle, unplug it and buy a new one.

If there is any sort of personalization on your fucking car, from bumper stickers, to customized radio presets to anything but the color black as its paint and interior. Sell it now and buy the most basic functional car you can get.

Or else you're just a hypocritical bitch who doesn't want to live in a world of mundane appliances.

Too large.
Full ATX is for fags who have no idea what they can and will use their computer for.

Or anyone who wants to use more than one PCIe cards.

Enjoy sub-par cooling and poor expandibility

You can use 2 or 3 with mATX.

Enjoy your delidlake housefire that somehow needs full ATX size case to stay cool.

>You can use 2 or 3 with mATX.

Not typically, not with a GPU.

looks fucktiny how many 3.5 inch drives does that thing fit?

Two.

If you have a 2 slot GPU, and the 1x above the 16x slot, you can feasibly use 3 PCI cards.

>mid-tower
Why do they keep making cases that are bigger than mATX?

ATX is outdated and unnecessary nowadays. Only a few specific uses require multiple expansion cards. mATX can already do dual GPUs, so gaming isn't one of them.

Most normalfags are abandoning desktop PCs in favor of laptops, or even tablets, which will make the market for cases much smaller.
This can either mean that only autists who need fucking fulltowers will be left, or that we can finally embrace small form-factors and leave ATX in the past.

> that are bigger than mATX?

Because mATX is for faggots

While I don't disagree with you, form is being prioritized/exacerbated to a large degree on "modern computer design/aesthetics", far beyond any logical reason.

Manufacturers don't manufacture RGB and tempered glass refrigerators, nor do the majority of refrigerator consumers want this feature.

Manufacturers don't manufacture RGB and tempered glass cars, nor do the majority of car consumers want this feature.

Manufacturers don't manufacture RGB and tempered glass houses, nor do the majority of house buyers want this feature.

Everyone else is OK putting on some tacky RGB lights on their house or a tree to decorate for Christmas, before agonizingly trying to take them down and pack it in their attic for next year. Decorating your house with RGB LEDs for Christmas isn't seen as high-fashion or kino-aesthetic for homes, but for PCs every case manufacturer is developing for this meme aesthetic.

Sleek, glossy, refined metal finishes (often aluminum or stainless steel), subtle/soft curves, and black accents are seen as attractive design in cars, washing machines, TVs, trash cans, etc.

But case manufacturers have transcended even this and are approaching ridiculous meme-tier design choices, which tells consumers they should care and spend more money on aesthetics like individually sleeved paracord power cables with organizer combs? Why?

I can understand liking some products over others due to design; But RGB and other bad aesthetic design in cases makes no sense compared to other products in the world. Do people think RGB glasses as refined and good aesthetic design? Or stupid as fuck compared to a nice pair of flexible titanium alloy glasses with thin and lightweight frame?

...

Well a refrigerator is not a car and a car is not a house and a house is not a pair of glasses and none of these things are computers.

I think there's an expectation for a powerful computer to look like something out of the future, and I think that mentality is what drives the aesthetic tastes of gamers and enthusiasts. That's why cases are typically black, and why sleek tempered glass panels are becoming popular, and why people put LEDs in there.

And I think that cycling rainbow RGB shit looks like faggot puke but I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with RGB components. Honestly it's leagues better than having locked LED colors or colored paneling. because RGB lets you coordinate colors within your system.

"And why do there have to be colors in your system in the first place?!" I dunno. It's kinda retarded but even knowing that I think a tastefully done system looks great.

And if I'm putting something together that's tailored towards my needs, why shouldn't I make it aesthetically pleasing as well?

This. Who needs side panels anyway?

>tempered glass meme
no thanks

How much tempered glass is too much?

Try the 570X.

saw this one
I'd purchase it over the s340 because of the hideous gloss and the crap plastic on the s340

>Still haven't topped their best case

As far a phantex goes i'm more interested in their Shift cases.

Do we have any dimensions for this?

>i'm not a sociopath
>but I am a raging narcissist

Congratulations

Protip: Windows are not aesthetically pleasing.

They look cheap and low class.

Yeah full ATX is really retarded these days

Most people don't even use a single slot beyond their graphics card

don't you mean autist?

so is it common knowledge that anyone that goes for the RGB meme is an autistic man child?

Autists do tend to be narcissistic because they can't see beyond their own private worlds.

Yeah, just like clothing was meant to protect you from the environment, which is why you only dress in lousy rags strapped together made from random animals, right? Gotta love pseudo-intellectuals like you.

Glass on a PC case. How do you even carry around? If you drop it will break.

Airflow on the P300 intake side looks just as shitty as on the P400.

only retards bought NZXT trash in the first place
