Case recommendation, but with a twist

[PEXON]

Hi peeps,

I am looking for a case, but one, thing, its HAS to be majority steel construction. I am looking to do a Fallout 4 themed build after I finish my Parvum rig.

I have been playing with a spare 360 rad and I have had great success with weathering/ patina-ing/ rusting the rad side panels. I have sprayed black/ yellow style warning stripes and sanded them down roughly so the bare metal and some of the paint looks chipped off. The exposed metal areas have an awesome rust effect on them after being exposed to some water and being left overnight, developing some sweet orange rust spots, something I want to achieve on the side panels, frame and interior of a case.

So, I am looking for a case, M-ATX or ATX (ideally with room for a 360mm monster rad, or I can mod it easily enough to fit one in the front).

I have had a look and all I can find is old Antec cases.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers,

James

Have a look at the Lian Li PC-V360 thay make them out of Aluminum not shure you can fit a 360 rad in there tho.

How about the NZXT H440?

Looks pretty nice and great w/c support straight out the box! I will have to do something with the branding though, not a big fan of that, plus there is a big blank canvas on the front to put some Vault-Tec related propaganda or the like

Thanks man

Trying to think of something steel with that style. Although i've only seen a few minutes of the Fallout 4 unveiling the whole american dream pre-fallout 50's/60's vibe was so amazing I want to say an Alienware Area-51 7500 however so much plastic it would take some mad fabrication skillz.

Corsair 350D is very steel and about the size your after, it would be easy to make the front plate steel too but aesthetics wise it doesn't really impress.

Parvum X1.0, i haz steel one right nao

Massive scope for scratchbuild out of some really nice 50's US items.

Gonna be 420% swagdank anyway

Thanks for the info dudes.

The Pandora and the 350D sound like great choices. The 350D would be a great blank canvas, I like the simple design of it, it would be great for the Vault-Tec theme I am going for. The Area 51 case would be sweet for a proper Americana style build, but I want to go for a beat up, Vault-Tec style rig. I actually used to have an Alienware case years and years ago, horrible green front, I used to love it though, looking back, they are pretty ghastly.
