Thread: New Case

  1. #1

    New Case

    Looking for a new case. Mine has done its duty and its probably time to upgrade.

    Reqs:
    • $200.00 max price
    • Don't need Liquid Cooling
    • Lights and Visibility not that important
    • I'd like plenty of room, currently have a full tower Cooler Master
    • Fans included would be ideal
    • US if you need to link.
    • I don't run SLI and don't have an intention to do that either
    • A drive bay would be nice

    Any recommendations or general thoughts would be great. I've had a lot of luck getting solid part advice from this forum, so I usually ask here before I just go off my personal thoughts or reviews.

    I have a NZXT H500 and it's quite roomy, I've also heard Meshify C's by Fractal Design are great to build in. My wife has a phanteks something, but it has things you don't really want (RGB) and only came with 1 fan, but it was easy to build in.

    Corsair Carbide Air 740
    It's fat as fuck and a lot of room

    Phanteks Evolv X, or Enthoo Evolv.

    Evolv X is nicer, and has tons of great features (plates in the back to hide wiring, tons of drive mounts, the ability to mount a second mITX system to the top of the case if you want), but the Enthoo Evolv is also quite good.

    BeQuiet! Has a good midrange case if dont care about tempered glass/etc. Good airflow, super quiet (you know, from BeQuiet!). I dont remember the actual model name. Silent Base 600 or something?

    Lian-Li has some good cases as well, as does Silverstone.

    I’d still go with the Evolv X if i were doing full-ATX though.

    Myself, though, im an mITX fan.

    Cooler Master SL600M perhaps?

    Or maybe a SilverStone RAVEN RV02B

    Both of these are pretty damn awesome for cooling performance and have included fans. If you want something more low noise I'd recommend something from Fractal Design or a Be Quiet Silent Base or Dark Base (there are several different models).
