Best Computer Case

lightcloud · Jul 27, 2014

What case do you believe is the best?

In terms of air circulation and space for the components of a gaming beast (e.g. SLI)

A side window will be great if anyone can find one in a Cooler Master case.

These are my specs if it would be helpful?

whats your budget in aus?

lightcloud · Jul 27, 2014

iceclock :

Maybe less than AUD$200, which is about USD$188 or less if possible?

Outlander_04 · Jul 27, 2014

Antec 1100

as a bonus it doesnt look like it escaped from a star wars set

Outlander_04 :

Thanks, but in would really prefer cooler master.

Turb0Yoda · Jul 27, 2014

Cooler Master HAF 912-922. Any preference WHY Cooler Master? I'd rather get a Corsair 750D or Fractal Design Define R4.

Turb0Yoda :

Well, basically most of my friends are currently having a cooler master case. They say that it has a good air circulation and can fit lost if parts and components.

I'll certainly check out the cases you recommended. Thanks.

Btw, can the Cooler Master HAF 912 fit lots of stuff. Like 2-3 Fans. A side window will be good if you can find one too.

Turb0Yoda :

Ummm, I just updated your previous comment if you could take a look again.

I also kinda like the NZXT Phantom 630 which currently have on PCPARTPICKER.

Turb0Yoda · Jul 27, 2014

The Phantom, IMHO, is MUCH better than the CM cases. I really Like their designs.
Side windows? Look at the CM Storm Trooper, White or Black.
IceClock just posted the white version. They have different names.

Turb0Yoda :

I have seen the storm trooper but I will take a look at the phantom and IMHO.

Turb0Yoda · Jul 28, 2014

IMHO means In my honest opinion.

Are you a follower or a leader?

lightcloud · Jul 28, 2014

Is that your case? The phantek enthoo

lightcloud · Jul 28, 2014

Turb0Yoda :

Oops, never heard of it before then. Learn a new thing everyday. LOL

lightcloud · Jul 28, 2014

Outlander_04 :

Depends probably easily convinced by computer people.

Turb0Yoda · Jul 28, 2014

Just because your friends say a brand is good doesn't need you follow them. That is the purpose of life(IMO), TO EXPLORE. Anyway, another option is the Fractal Design Define R4, which I think I mentioned above.

Cases of Note:
-Phanteks Enthoo Pro
-Cooler Master Storm Stryker/Trooper
-Fractal Design Define R4
- Phantom Series
-CM HAF 912-932
-Corsair 750D
-Antec 1100

Just the cases mentioned in this thread.

Turb0Yoda :

-I like the phantek but doesn't have a stylish and cool look. It pretty plain tbh.
-I chose the CM Storm Trooper before after I reliased when a USB was inserted it actually slants at an angle.
-I am not too sure of the Fractal Design, is it popular?
-I love how the phantom looks like, I actually pick that as my case (it was in the link at the beginning) maybe the design caught my eye.
-The CM HAF is a bit ordinary.
-the corsair 750D (just a plain and ordinary)
-no nothing about antec. What are your thoughts on the brand? It looks alright though.

What case do you have if you don't mind me asking?

Turb0Yoda · Jul 28, 2014

Me, I have no money to build a PC(maybe in a few dayS), but I am always reading reviews and whatnot. Currently, my case is from HP, Although, Since I am going to do a custom loop once I get a PC, the 750D or the Phanteks would be my choice. CM Storm Trooper is my second pick. The Fractal is one of the best rated, and quietest cases on the market. My friend has a 300, the smaller version of that, and he loves it. They have good reviews.

lightcloud · Jul 28, 2014

Turb0Yoda :

All the best for you to save up money. What are your thoughts on NZXT Phantom 630? I really like the cool design of the case.

lightcloud · Jul 28, 2014

How bout what are the best manufacturers for computer cases?

Turb0Yoda · Jul 28, 2014

That depends on who you ask. The Phantom is VERY good.
Some good manufacturers are: NZXT, Corsair, Cooler Master, Antec, Fractal, Silverstone, and some Thermaltakes.
