    Need a new gaming case.

    Hi, im currently using a fractal arc midi tower and im happy with it.

    But i'd like a new just because i MUST to "wish" something for christmas (family rule, cba to explain)

    I've got some things i want from the case.

    1: Needs space for a H100 corsair cooler preferably in a push/pull config (just push is ok)
    2: Needs good airflow throughout the case.
    3: I want a "window" on the side so i can look into the case and enjoy the sweet red lights i've got.
    4: Needs good cable management


    Any recommendations?

    Not sure about very good airflow on it though.

    Looks like a great case, but i'd like if there weren't drilled holes for a fan on the side, or atleast move the holes forward. Due to my viewing angle to the computer the fan holes would look bad on that case.

    Yeah, I agree on the side panel. If it was me, I'd just mod it. It's not hard to do with that case. http://www.mnpctech.com/casemodblog/...r-view-window/

    I have an Antec P280 and im very happy about it. My Corsair H100 fits very nicely in the top exhaust

    It's not hard to install a push/pull H100 in an arc midi. The case already has amazing potential for cable management.

    So much money could be saved from modding the side panel to have a window. Just figured I point it out.

    i know bruce, but i HAVE to "wish" something for christmas, because thats the rule in my family! (fucking retarded in my opinion, just give me fucking cake!!!!)

    If i dont find something i want, i'll get clothes i dont like, and i'll have to deal with get that exchanged for some other clothing etc and i just really cba.

    So a new case it is



    OT: i saw a video with a CM Scout 2 and i thought it looked really good. What do you guy think of it?

    Well, I guess you already know what you want. However, I'd look over my rig and determine the priority on replacing/upgrading parts with case being at the bottom for me. I know if I were in your situation, I'd be asking for the specific parts I need to do this GPU mod I want. If only my sisters weren't so young, maybe it'd be the other way around rather me having to ask them what they want for christmas. :P

    EDIT - You can always ask for the parts to mod your case door, rather a whole new case. However, sounds like you are set on a new case :P

    i got a fairly new build with a 3570k, asrock Z77 mobo, GTX670, 128 gb SSD, that kind of build, so i wont need new parts for the system itself any time soon.

    And yes, im set on getting a whole new case. It'll be fun to assemble everything again, doing cable management, and getting a whole new looking pc. Just the thing to do a sunday afternoon while watching a good serie like dexter.

    Well then, may I direct your attention to this link here titled "Case Catalog"

    Perhaps this will help you decide.

    I think, im gonna go for the case linked in the second post by Neuk. The guide blog Neuk linked makes it look so easy to mod it i love the look of the case and that mod would just seal the deal for me.
