[SOLVED] replacement of default case

[SMApoel1926]

Hello to all,

I am considering of replacing the case as the airflow is minimum.
what should i consider regarding the new case?
would the motherboard be "compatible(fit)" with the new case?
what aspects should i consider?
1)OMEN by HP Obelisk Desktop 875-0004nv
2)Case Dimensions
3)Motherboard specs

thank you

Most important of the specs to consider is its form factor and its highlighted in shot 3 - Micro ATX

the case dimensions are less helpful as it looks like that's height, Width & depth of actual case, it doesn't tell us what form factors it accepts or has the right stand offs for. No point getting a case if its big enough but you can't mount the motherboard.
is image 1 your current case as I can see why you want a new one.

the 3 images that i posted are all of the same build that i have now.

okay, well, when you look for a case, the most important stat is the form factor. It needs to support ITX since that is what board is.

The next is how good is its airflow - i don't like the trend of fish tanks with very little gaps for air to actually come in. It makes it difficult for me to find a case I like.

actually the airflow stinks on my build now.. that's why i am considering a new one.
my options are
1) NZXT H510 ELITE SERIES ATX MID TOWER COMPUTER CASE (can get it from a local store)
2) SST-RL06BR-PRO (would consider this one but from amazon)

any other suggestions? i am looking for front fans as mandatory

is this the 2nd one? https://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=726&area=en as I would get that over the NZXT,
NZXT has glass infront of those fans, its everything i don't like about cases now. How can the fans breathe?
The silverstone has the best airflow of most modern cases, I would grab it

I am using a SIlverstone case now, It is main reason I am having problems finding a case thats even close to it in cooling. That SST one is real close.

it sure will keep PC cool, and if you run front fans at slow speed, it should be pretty quiet too

My case has the 3 fans (but it seems the rl06 has 120mm, mine are 180mm) and my PC is hardly ever hot. I feel its given me false expectations for what temps I should get. It is never hot. Mine is the same case design as this

Looks good

I wanted this one but its not out yet

Honestly, for good airflow, the Fractal design meshify C series is about as good as it gets for a mainstream case, the mini-C will fit that mATX mobo just fine.

so basically i have decided to go with the H510 Elite.

in other news...shall i replace my motherboard as well? hp bios are locked
