So, I am building my first Gaming Rig, and I am buying a new casing. I live in the Philippines and the summer season is coming, and the temperature here gets REALLY hot, averagely around 32°C, and I don't want to fry my new system, especially my video card. So, I'm really in conflict to which one of these is THE best casing for me.
So here are my choices:
- Thermaltake Chaser MK-1
- Antec Nine Hundred Two
- Antec DF-85
- Cooler Master HAF XM
- Cooler Master Storm Trooper
- Cooler Master Cosmos SE
- AeroCool XPREDATOR Black
- Aerocool GT-S Black
- Bitfenix Shinobi Window XL
- NZXT H630
- NZXT Phantom 530
Now These are the things that I will mainly look for in my casing:
- Decent Air Flow (obviously.)
- Good Cable Management
Cosmetically, I think all of them look Awesome.
(but a window is a plus, because I like showing off my rig)
Also, noise isn't really an issue, since it's often noisy in my neighborhood and I usually wear headphones.
Now, I really wont resort to Liquid Cooling, mainly because I really fear it to leak and it also requires high maintenance (well, form what I've read), so I am probably gonna buy those huge CPU coolers.
I really what a Cooler Master HAF X, which would be the ultimate compromise, but the problem is that they don't sell it here.
I also like the NZXT Phantom 630, but It way too over my budget.
I am really leaning towards the Thermaltake Chaser MK-1 because it can have 4 x 200mm, and I like as much fans as possible. Im also gonna fill all of my fan slots if the casing lacks some fans.
You guys can also suggest to me other cases, and I can tell you if it could be bought here.
Thank You Very Much Guys!
