    Is it possible to build a computer case yourself ? Can you buy the motherboard part etc and then build a frame or can ya buy frames aswell ? I want to get a good case that's not flimsy I want a solid build like a pre built case I dont mind paying the money for an expensive case. Can anyone recommend me some good glass side panel cases that are solid builds. I seen a cheap case on Linus tech tips which actually moved when he picked it up he even bent the case when he picked it up with one hand

    You can buy the case separately. You can also make your own if you feel like it.
    I only use full ATX size motherboards and cases, hate the mid-tower stuff where you can barely squeeze parts in. Get the biggest case possible with air filters.

    There are websites that help you put together a list of compatible parts:

    (you don't want to order a motherboard that is too big for the case or a processor that doesn't fit the socket on it)
