Looking for a good case

[viktorcsomai0]

Hi, I would like to buy a case but I can't decied

Must-Haves:
- Mid-tower Atx or full-tower
- I/O on the right/left side, or on the top
- Moderate to good cooling
- removable dust filters
- can fit a 1080 or 1080 ti
- can fit a noctua nh-d15
- "silent"

Nice-to-haves:
- more metal than plastic

Recommend NZXT s340 or s340 elite

I have a Phanteks Enthoo Luxe Tempered Glass and it is amazing. It will fit any type of cooling you need and is very quite. It has all of your wants.

But it is kinda expensive at $180. You can get the non tempered glass for $130. The Enthoo Pro is the same case as the luxe but some of the premium parts have been removed. It cost $90.

I agree with the Phanteks recommendation ... used to offer a half dozen case models / manufacturers in each cost and size range... Since Phanteks popped on teh scene its been all about which Phanteks case do you want.

However neither Phantekls nor the NZXT model meet your stated criteria of MoBo I/O on right or top. Big difference between the Luxe and the pro ... the Luxe has an 'attic" to place the fans in.

I the Luxe has an 'attic"

I do love that attic too.

I used it in wifies build and I made her help me. She asked why thius dumb empty space ? I said I paid extra for that just for her... she can hide her valuables in there
