Isn't that the Thermatake BMW Mach 10?

Yeah, the Level 10 GT.
I've always thought that the design was influenced by the Playstation 2.

Well, at least the section where you've got the I/O buttons and peripheral ports.

Edit: Also... I feel like this PS2 picture is way too big... xD

To answer the original question, I would personally go with the CM HAF, it looks far better in my opinion.

Now, to hijack this thread for my own selfish reasons :). I am going to be building myself a completely new computer fairly soon, and one thing that I'm having trouble figuring out is what case I should get. As for a general summary, I want it to look like that one amazing gaming computer that all the people wish they had. LEDs are needed, and I know the CM cases have a button to toggle the LEDs. Does anyone else know of any other cases that have a LED toggle. Either way, I would really appreciate some input as to what could be my next, and semi-permanent, case.

Why do you need to toggle the LEDs?

That playstation 2 is an attention whore. Poor Kerzmeister, I'll never know what your post said.

Oh the horror!

Chumba, as for the LEDs, I would be taking this to college with me, so turning off the LEDs would be a nice consideration I think, even though it won't really do much because of all the fans and such. Water-cooling anyone?

And finally, as to the ponies, i'm leaning toward the assumption that he liked ponies, before they were mainstream.

Our cases are cooler than yours.
\thread

As for water cooling, I do have to be a little price-aware. How are the options for budget water cooling? And with water cooling, you no longer really need High Air Flow (HAF), so any comments?

If you're looking to just cool your CPU and you don't have waterblocks on your GPU/GPUs, I would highly recommend the Corsair Hydro Series H100.

And if you fancy a beast of an air cooling unit/unit's, I'd recommend anything from Noctua (In this case, the NH-D14).

Here are some charts between the H100 and the NH-D14 (The Silver Arrow is the same as the Noctua NH-D14 in terms of performance and dB)

The Silver Arrow runs 1 degree Celsius hotter, while running 10dB quieter.
