I am looking for a very plain (preferably beige-colored) computer cases that supports the ATX motherboards and is of the mid-tower variety. I don't need a lot of 5.25" and 3.5" bays (two to three of the former, and one to two of the latter will suffice). Up to four hard drive bays would be good, but two would be alright. As well, nice air circulation will be great. Finally, it should be sturdy and putting things inside it should be a pleasure (as opposed to a pain). Initially I presumed that finding such a thing would a piece of cake; instead, all I see is these bizzare, purple-and-green, UFO-style enclosures, or ones that are otherwise plain but as an apparent afterthought have either fins or wings.

Now I don't really mind paying too much for a case (although $500-1000 would be a little extreme). The best things I have encountered thus far have been the Antec Performance One P150 (which unfortunately comes with a power supply I don't want) and the Lian Li Classic PC-6x/7x/plus series of cases. However, even these aren't really what I am looking for--just the closest thing to what I had in mind. So basically, I am wondering if anyone here knows about any cases like the one I had in mind which I could get.

I really don't need a window and neon lights and a custom paint jobs for my computer case.

I mean something along the lines of this, but without the fins and wings and bumps (i.e. more plain than in the link). Just solid beige walls. But the case also has to be sturdy and not be jagged and deadly regarding the putting inside of components.

have you tried eBay?

I haven't, but a quick search now yielded this, however this is not unlike what I've already seen, with the fins and the wings and the protrusions. I'll have another look around this site, but I would still appreciate if anyone has any ideas about the kinds of cases I am talking about.

looks pretty strong

I was about to say that. Except the G5's look much better. *pats his Genk5

did you even read his post yoshi? seriously.

Yeah, I did. And I was showing him a case that fit the description. It's plain, albeit not beige, and it is a very solid case. Quit trying to attack me, it doesn't work as well as you think.

that would be more than enough to stop me from getting this case.

You can take out/disable them with a bit of work. It's not that big of a deal to do, and it beats paying an extra 400 dollars for something that's comparable.

more along the lines of what he was actually looking for.

These ones are pretty close to your requirements:

I think you're asking for a lot though. You will most likely have to settle for something less, like an extra power supply or a different color.

[QUOTE=Cool Matty]That totally rips off the mac G5s.[/QUOTE]

Yea. We kind a figured that out when it was released almost 3 years ago. Still looks good though (i'm thinking of getting either the black version of the V1000 or the black version of Silverstone's Tejim 07 for my next machine).

Ahem. Anyway, its black, but i'm guessing that this is the sort of thing you're looking for:

Not exactly, considering the same company made both cases.

I got the Antec Sonata II

It's extremley easy to disable the LED blue lights. They hook up to a power supply. Just don't plug it in. Viola. They are pretty bright, but I do like them on.

It's not as quiet if you have a processor fan, and a fan that's on your video card. So if you're looking for quietness, pssh. Not saying it's loud or anything, but it's not as super quiet as you might think. But, it does keep my computer cool. I also run it without AMD's Cool 'n' Quiet on, which makes it louder.

The fan also has three settings on a switch that's pretty nifty.

It's easy to get fingerprints on it, as the case looks like it's from a black polished piano, but it's easy to clean off, and looks really nice. It's strong and sturdy too --no dents, even though I leaned it a few times on my computer desk in a "this will cause a dent" way.

Best case I ever got, IMO
