I've decided to go with upgrading my very budget, low quality PC case in the hopes of better airflow, dust filtering and a glass side panel, as my current build is heating up like crazy.
I know it's a little long, but anyone that reads my problem here and replies, is very very welcome.
I've looked at several suggestions and good cases. But the more nice cases I find, the more difficult the choice becomes.. I'd really love for you guys to help me make a choice, or give me other ideas, even..
Here's what I've looked at so far:
- NZXT S340 (I really, really like the Elite, but in my country it goes beyond 120 bucks, and I'm not paying 50 extra compared to the S340, for just the tempered glass and some rubber cable straps)
- Phanteks Eclipse P400S Window (For the looks and better dust filters and all, this would be my preferance over the S340, if I were able to find ANY store in my country which sold it in black)
- Fractal Design Define S Window (I'm not too fond of the texture on the exterior)
- Cooler Master MasterCase 5 (Wouldn't be too bad, but goes slightly above 100 bucks here)
I'd be gladly accepting any other suggestions, personal experiences with cases. Or just your opinions on these cases I've considered.
I'd love a full-height glass side panel (so not just a small window like on the NZXT Phantom 410), some neat cable management to hide the ugly cables in the back (built-in Velco straps or rubber straps for cables also would be nice), at least one 2,5" slot for an SSD, as well as at least 2 3,5" HDD slots, and a hidden PSU compartment, because I don't want to see the PSU through the side panel window. Top fan mounts for at least 1x120mm, same for the back, and at least 2x120mm fan mounts on the front. Dust filters, nice air flow, all that... And last but not least, I'd love if the case was available in black, or at least in very dark grey, (or black/red).
Thank you guys.
