Awful "Epic gamer" PC cases

[gangweedfan]

As PC Gaming becomes more mainstream I cant help but notice the increasing number of awful looking overpriced PC cases being made. While I like cool looking components I think PC cases need to have a balance between being cool looking and being practical. Many of these cases seem to have weird or unorthodox designs just for the fuck of it.

Spoiler: Image dump

This one has a handle on the back That I dont think you can see in this picture which pulls out the entire motherboard.

This case is pretty clearly a 3rd party knockoff of the cougar conqueror which is why they used such an ugly orange

for 4000$ You can get this custom made PC case with the republic of gamers logo for some reason.

So which one is the worst kiwis?

 

[Forgetful Kiwi]

That fucking sphere. The amount of wasted space it would take up infuriates me.

I really faking hate that RoG case, it’s so pointless. Makes me want to get rid of my TUF GT501 case

 

[Varg Did Nothing Wrong]

Any case with plexiglass, RGB lighting or extraneous design elements is equally cringe and gay.

 

[Zeke Von Genbu]

That last one that costs 4k looks like the type of big, flashy, gaudy nonsense that someone with too much money would buy just to forever have his cock out to anyone who walks into his house. I think it is priced very appropriately.

 

[Foreign Merc]

Wow, there's a lot of really ugly shit here.
I was going to say the sphere was the absolute worst, because it does waste a ton of space, but once I got to the RoG one ... yeah, that's the winner.
As bad as the sphere is, at least doesn't hurt your eyes the way that shitty, bright neon sculpture does.

 

[White Devil]

They all look like fucked up Warframe helmets.

 

[Sage In All Fields]

If the sphere one didn't waste so much space it'd be pretty awesome

 

[AMHOLIO]

The last one seems like an impalement
waiting to happen.

 

[Inventor of the Telephone]

That fucking sphere. The amount of wasted space it would take up infuriates me.

Have it play with your pets.

My PC has a clear side with some green lighting, which is actually pretty cumbersome when taking it apart for cleaning and is left off most of the time.

In reality, I think it stems from wanting my PC to be the one that I wanted when I was in high school.

 

[Reverend]

Why the hell are all these cases looking like something out of Mass Effect?

Not going to lie, I kinda like the motorcycle one.

Edit:
Not those colors though. I'd go black, orange, and crome.

I don't want any goddamn tempered glass side panels. The deals I see almost invariably include some kind of transparent side panel. PC cases should be solid metal boxes with good thermal performance, and no glass.

Every dollar not spent on extraneous lighting could be spent on getting a Ryzen 9 5950X, ≥128 GB of fast RAM, and other components most people don't need but are theoretically useful.

That ROG last one checks every box for fucking awful.

Also, my personal autism: No 5.25 bays on any of these. Fuck that. Quick-disconnect drive cages own.

 

[Dick Pooman]

It seemed like every epic gaming pc from the early to mid 2000s had a case that looked like a Gundam head and the graphics cards had pictures of shit on them that you'd never see again after you installed it.

 

[MrTroll]

I hate hate hate RGB lighting on any computer component, internal or external, and lose all respect for anyone who uses that shit.
