My last CM Centurion 5 lasted me close to 10 years before I sold it and upgraded to Corsair 730T.

A good casing can last for decades if maintained properly. If adventurous u cam mod it for bling bling or more airflow as required.

Before switch to mid tower it never came across my mind. I change to suit my desktop color theme.

Q4 2012 - NZXT Tupperware 410
Q3 2013 - Antec P280
Q2 2015 - Silverstone FTZ01

Couldn't stand the cheap plasticky build of the 410, plus the fact that it is STILL being sold at a pricepoint comparable to Fractal R5 boggles my mind. The P280, R4 and other mid range Corsairs opened my mind to what is a quality casing. I have sworn off NZXT since then

Downsized to the FTZ01 because I realised, I don't use more than 1 pcie slot, I don't have 6 HDDs to use concurrently, so might as well cut the excess fat and go ITX SFF :D

Sold my P410. My P280 is rotting away though, can't be bothered to fully dismantle/sell it yet

Just built this year, see no reason to change it unless my needs change. Too lazy, opening case to install hdd also sian. Thought of changing case feels so troublesome. Can't be bothered unless really no choice :s13:

I changed mine due to changing needs. The need for radiator support, cable management, windowed displayed, etc.
