Concept Case Ideas By Complx

[Complx]

Hey everyone!

Since I'm a computer nut like everyone else here, I love how they both work and look. However, it seems that most PC cases tend to be large black monoliths and after awhile they tend to look...well...boring in my mind. So in my spare time I like to come up with concept case ideas and I felt like sharing them with everyone.

Im still not entirely sure how this thread is going to run, I'm considering keeping this as a running blog, updating the first post with new designs while keeping the old ones below.

Let me know what you guys think!

This design was based around a water cooling block for the CPU which will draw air in from the top and well as the front. The case is intended for high CPU loads and low graphical usage due to its minimal air flow. Also there is no room for a CD drive, the decision for this was based around USB boot/installer drives becoming more popular as an installation method rather than CDs/DVDs.​

I love the front panel design! Very nice!

I really like it. What material where you thinking plastic? Or maybe brushed aluminum like g 5 would be great

Awesome design, would love to have one with the top as a cooler setup.

Great job!

Where do you plan to store the SSD? (If you use one for boot, that is.)

Put another 140mm next to the PSU on the floor. That should add even more air flow.

Having two low-powered 120mm at the front should also do the trick, but it really depends.

Here is a nice list for 120mm silent fans, so just in case you plan to go the Silent Way (should be as good as 140's, but much more cheaper).

As for PSU Sharkoon SilentStorm CM are extremely silent and modular and etc...highly recommended, too.
