Hi, everyone. I have difficuilt situation. My CPU is 125W, videocard is 210W non-reference, I have fluffy cat in house, ambient temp never goes below 25 degrees, and the only place for computer is in the table, left side open, right closed, 10 cm from the floor, 15 cm to the rear

My current cheap case do not hold right temperatures. I need new one. Guess, it should be fully hermetic, air should get in and out only through fans covered with heavy duty (CAT IS REALLY FLUFFY) air filters. It should be massive. It should accept 300mm videocard. PSU mounting to the top is preferable.

Suggest one, please? My closest bet is Fractal Design Define R4, but I doubt it has thick metal everywhere, and I dont like that front panel is facing actually top

>PSU mounting is still at the bottom

not a religion, I just have PSU at the top now :) What is really keeping this case from being perfect, is absence of 5.25" bays and still front connectors facing top

What about Corsair Corbide 300R and 500R? Do they fit in my conditions?

Bought Fractial Design Define R4, because it was 30 Eur cheaper. That's some quality case! CPU and GPU now are 7 degrees cooler, mobo is 14 degrees cooler! Noise from CPU and GPU is gone completely, I hear only case fans.

My next PC will be definetly in NZXT H440, guess it is even better

Define R4 for the win. Really nice case.
