how about jekyll? Lots of customization available.

You want a black case with a side replaced by something clear. Not much variation there.

I have a sheet of paper that lives on top of my power light. Its soo bright, and its not even in my bedroom. I should throw a resistor inline there, I just can’t be bothered.

My upgrade cycle is about 10 years. So many more plain options last time. I went with a Roswell R5 last time. Went with a Fractal Design Define R5 this time. Fractal was the only quality plain case I could find. My brother actually has a 330R.

Some fan LEDs are directly connected to the fan power, so you can’t always turn them off.

yes, they have 3… out of more than 100 cases.

Don’t know where your looking. Most are.

They were all that I could find that I would call a quality case. I went with the Define R5.

I like the way you think, but then you probably have to deal with $erver components.

I paid way to much for a Nice solid case. It was just such a pain to find. I wound up with a Fractal Design Define R5.

No. I’m already on mint, and I’m commenting from a furry instance. How much credit do I get?

They used to.

So long as its metal, keep on going. Plastic has an unfortunate habit of breaking when its old.

No, I’m saying you just say just search, and even those searches have to be manually sorted through. I’m simply pointing out even with filters you have to manually pick through the results to have a real filter. There are plenty below the top row that have open sides too.

System integrators seem to be the exception.

The first 4 results there have mesh side panels…

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:STSCPanel.jpg looks like a pretty nice setup. No excess LEDs in sight.

If they cycle through do you get all of that at the same time?

If I could have gotten the boring cases that HP, Dell, and the others make, I would have. But other than system integrators, you can’t really find stand alone plane cases.

When I put my new machine together not too long ago I actually went with the Define R5. The only part I couldn’t get away from LEDs completely was the MB. I don’t think I could find the solid Define7 at the time.
