i'm moving here in the next month and getting a fresh start. i love my cooler master centurion 541 matx mini chassis. had it almost 10 years but it's almost baggage from my ex gf and i freakin hate looking at it. i've gutted it a bunch but need a new shell to go with my new life. i have a hookup from a fam member on a newer car for me so i am selling my beater and i will have a little bit extra. want to keep it under $100 and i am looking for a cube style or something similar.
the following is what needs to fit. i want the option of having another 3.5 inch mechanical hdd and 1 ssd. after i move i am going to build a personal cloud so the extra 3.5 inch drive isn't a deal breaker. i am definitely going to finally put a aftermarket cooler on the cpu. like a dual 120mm fan cooler at a minimum. if i can get a good deal on a water cooler then so be it but air cooling is what i am shooting for. optical drive doesn't matter. i will just get an external on do i don't have to bend over
amd fx6350 with stock cooler
ballistix 1333mhx ram (2 sticks)
Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 AM3+ matx mobo
solid gear 650 watt non modular psu (so i need decent cable management)
HIS IceQ OC r9 280 gpu 11.06 inches by 5.32 inches
1tb mechanical hdd 3.5 inch
i will also add that the in win dragon slayer case really appeals to me but i don't know if my gpu will fit in it width wise. i do really want to go back to a windowed case again and light it up all blue (maybe switch to green but definitely no warm colors) but it's not necessary. i'll mod it and cut one if there is something else to really look at.
