Reccomended Gaming Case?

[Hoobly]

I'm looking for a case that will provide good benefits with the hardware ill be using

I first thought of the Phantex Enthoo Pro Full Tower, but I wanna make sure I'm getting the right case

I'm looking for:

Full or Mid that can fit ATX Motherboards
Window Side
Easy Wiring
Good Airflow
At least 1 Disc Drive Tray
Good Quality
Can fit a CPU Cooler

And must be under 120$

Doesn't seem to have a disk drive panel, anything else?

 

[The Paladin]

what are you calling a drive panel ?
like an opening for DVD ?

If you stretch a bit the budget this is a huge case, i mean huge, lots of air volume inside and very good airflow http://www.corsair.com/en/graphite-series-780t-white-full-tower-pc-case . What do you mean a disc try? You mean 5.25" or 3.5"? If it is a 3.5" then nzxt h440 or fractal design define S http://www.fractal-design.com/home/product/cases/define-series/define-s-window. If you mean a 5.25" drive then this will fit into your budget https://www.nzxt.com/products/phantom-530

I am using Fractal Design Define R4 Black Pearl (no window).
http://www.fractal-design.com/home/product/cases/define-series/define-r4-black-pearl
It is simple, elegant, silent, not too big and has good air flow.

NZXT H440 was also among those on my list beforeI bought the R4.

Yes an opening for a DVD Drive which I meant, I'll keep these cases in mind

Fractal Design Define R4 has that opening for DVD/BR drive

Honestly is a bit small in my opinion, is a bit small even for a mid tower, for 10$ more you get a full tower not a small mid-tower.

^ I would never ever consider the r4 or r5 small, not by any stretch of the imagination !

You're paying for built quality on those 2 cases more than anything else.

 

[Dragos Manea]

This is my personal opinion, i prefer full tower cases due to larger cable management space, and more room inside so the components are not crowded in eachother (hdds close to the videocards, all hot air the videocard pushes goes into the hdd in a small case making the hdd very hot, it hapent to me in my former case the nzxt h230)

EDIT: Also better space for coolers (360mm AIO or tall air coolers)

 

[guanyu210379]

R4...small? eh.....he?!

 

[Hoobly]

The Corsair and Fractal does look nice, but will it stay up to date with the new cases being released for a few years?

 

[Dragos Manea]

For the next 5-8 years yes, more then 8 years, i dont know. , but when you make a new pc after 10 years you will see if it is still compatible. It should be because the standard is atx and all cases should be compliant to this standard.

Would you recommend the 760t or 780t? Both are pretty much the same price

 

[madmatt30]

^ essentially the same mate , pick whichever you thinks looks nicer - external styling is the only real difference.

 

[Dragos Manea]

780t is a bit bigger but not much, as madmatt said which one you think it looks better.
