  • Advice New Case

    Looking for a new case. $50 - $100 dollar range. I dont need a PSU

    Just looking for something that has good airflow. Inlet / exhaust and top exhaust preferably.

    Looking for advice from you guys to see what contains the best bang for the buck. Quality wise.

    ( I use low db fans..cause Id like a quite case. So thats a plus! I don't want a paper thin/cheap case )

    Thanks for any advice!

      Looks good, but I have no need for the fan controls on the front. The simpler the better!

      I use the ENERMAX 120mm fans.. 1000rpm @ 17db of sound. They are SOOOO quite. Id like to have room for 3 of those if possible. Front / Top / Rear.

      Mid-Sized tower would be fantasic.

      Anyone recommend any other decent brand?


      ^ was looking at that. Just curious how loud that 200mm fan on top would be ... : /
