Is Full Tower Worth it without the Need for it?

ImperialJoe · Jun 30, 2014

I plan on buying the Arc Midi R2 and overclock with the Noctua NH-D14 cooler. Somebody offered me the Arc XL which he barely used for couple of months for the same price.
Now I don't have a special need for the Full Tower case but maybe there is still a point in getting it?

Nah not really. It doesn't hurt to have one, but if you don't really need the extra space, I don't really see any reason to bother with it.

A full tower is handy if you want more than one graphics card eg - http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=28033

If you can get the full tower for the same price, personally I would, because it gives you more options for future expansion

Hi ImperialJoe
Your Arc Midi R2 will suport coolers up to 180mm tall , so will take the nhd14 at 160mm tall
It takes cards up to 430mm long with the top cage removed
It has ATX, Micro ATX, Mini ITX motherboard compatibility
a lot of full tower cases do not even do this ,
The Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 is a good choice for a midtower and has huge potential for later upgrades
Stick with that case , you will be fine

With the full tower you'll need a psu with long(er) cables.keep that in mind.

One of my friends INSISTED on having a full tower, and after I finished the build there was SO much wasted room in there it wasn't even funny. This was a no overclocking, single video card kind of guy with nothing fancy at all. If anything, I think it hinders airflow to have that much extra space in there.
