I’m on my 4th build. The first one was retired, The last two are still running well but it’s time to move on. I’ve always used full tower cases and always ran RAID 1 with two regular hard drives and always had two DVD RW drives. I admit that I rarely use the DVD drives and I am now ready to go to solid state drives so I am thinking of a mid-sized case.

I notice a lot of the cases today seem to have no 5.25” mounting in the front (or anything else). I would still want a DVD R/W drive, but I guess I could add that with USB. It would be nice to have a front panel with the latest USB connectors and audio connectors though. I guess that is what is making my decision so hard. A couple of years of changes in tech is huge, so perhaps there are many better ways to do things now.
I have the motherboard (regular size ATX), power supply, SSDs, and video card. etc. picked out but I am stuck on a case! I always buy top of the line motherboards even though I don’t overclock. I also buy high quality video cards, It will not the latest and greatest, but it will be 4K. Because I am not overclocking and for less complication, I plan to stay air cooled. What are your ideas? Cost is not too much of a problem.
