Best PC case if you don't care about aesthetics and just functionality.

I am looking for a case for my new build. I don't care about RGB, just a good case that won't trap dust and what not. I was thinking about fractal design r5. This is my first time building a pc so I am not too sure what to go with. What do you guys think? This is build so far.

The Define S is the best deal for you.

wow, thanks! They all look nice. Which one of those would u recommend for good cooling and not gathering dust. Noise doesn't matter as much to me.

 
I like some of the Segotep cases. I'm using the Polar light MATX case. Came with 5 3 pin LED blue fans

Has a window. The top can come off, and has holes along the length of it. I put 2 splitters through them for 2 of the fans. It makes it tidier, so you cant see the splitters.

And the PSU is on the bottom (but hidden underneath the mobo). You cant see it

But it doesnt have front bays. But I dont need a dvd anyway

Pity I cant find any grommets for it tho
 


which of the define would u recommend? I was actually looking into define s and R5 but they seemed pricier and I just didn't know if it was worth the price. If it's worth it i definitely will buy it. I am going "all in" with my 1080Ti build, just trying to cut cost where I can lol
 


I built my wife a PC last year with the Define Mini, which is just a small version of the S. Totally worth the money, its the finest case craftsmanship that I've seen. Even better quality than my In Win that was almost double the price. Insulation everywhere, dust filters, options for cooling, and DEAD quiet.

ok, I'm going with that. Should I buy more fans? or are the fans in there good enough. I'm studying negative vs positive air pressure build so I haven't decided on that yet but I plan to overclock cpu and gpu(?) depending on how hard it is to do and I know they both need to be cooled down even with a CPU cooler.
