I don't know if it's necessarily an age thing, more so of just personal preference although I must say, I feel like most teens/20 year olds would rather something flashy than a more laid back case but even that I think is a generalization. For example, even though it's not flashy I look highly at the Antec P180 series of cases, and I'm not sure why I like those more than the LianLi cases but it's just what I like.

So, after contradicting myself 40 times in the above paragraph, I think it's all about what you're feeling at the time, occasionally I think a flashy case would be cool, but then sometimes I would rather go with a laid back more professional looking case. Whatever makes you happy!

I must say that I will pretty much like any case as long as it meets these requirements....

1. Color is either black or silver (in some cases a mixture looks good)

2. Has good cooling potential

3. Is at least on par in built quality.

4. Is less than $100

Bump to see if there are any changes to the high-end case landscape nowadays.
