I am going to do a build(only in 4 months or so) and i plan to use a silence optimized case.
These are the ones i have stumbled upon -
Corsair 550d(949DKK price)
Corsair Carbide 330R(619dkk)
NZXT H440(890dkk)
Fractal Design Define R4(749dkk)
They all have a different type of foam, and i have tried watching a review of every single one of them. I put a price on them, as i have a budget - Around 8000-8500dkk without hdd(i already have one
)
My question is - For quiet operation, what would be best? Sometimes i hear the H440, sometimes the R4, sometimes the 550D but never 330r(probably because it is the cheapest.
Here is something i think about the cases
Corsair 550D - Expensive, Great looks, doesnt feel like lack of airflow, missing sidepanel and no optional sidepanel(wont matter too much), and i have heard, it is bad quality? Whaaat? please tell me more about that.
Carbide 330r - Smaller version of 550d, worse build quality, cheaper, possibly not as silent.
NZXT H440 - Fan hub(12v though), Looks and sounds like it has a lack of airflow, PSU Cover, Looks great both in white and black/red, I dont know about silence, havent heard since it is a fairly new case. No windowed version(would be better for sound i guess)
Define R4 - To me, the white version looks flimsy, and low quality, Almost too simple of a look/lack of texture, good fan options, not as limited airflow, integrated fan controller.
I feel like it is a mix, but fairly easy to exclude the 330r, if it has much worse silence than the other cases.
What have you guys heard about these cases, and what would your vote be on?(i am not doing a poll)
Thanks in advance
