Hi All.
Im looking to buy a new case with the following needing to be taken into account. I tried to order them from top to bottom in importance, but really these are all non negotiable.
- ATX compliant
- Quiet
- Room for an SLI setup (Dont have the cards yet, but they will be ordered on Maxwell release)
- Able to fit an H75 as exhaust (top or rear mounting)
- 1X External 5.25 slot (more isnt a problem, but I need 1)
- 2X Internal 2.5 slot (could also be 2 extra 3.5 slots using mounts)
- 1X Internal 3.5 slot
- Light weight
I am looking to lighten the load of shifting my PC around, my current Antec P180 comes in at 14Kg without any innards, and in total its pushing over 25kg. Its a bit much to be lugging around to LANs etc (although I have been for years)
I am currently looking at the Corsair 330R http://www.corsair.com/en-gb/carbide-series-330r-quiet-mid-tower-case as I know this will fit the H75.
Another that caught my eye was the Fractal Define R4 but it isnt cutting down on the weight much coming in at 12kg.
Are there any other recommendations people could make based on this? Cases really aren't my strong point. I am also somewhat worried about thermals, obviously sound is caused by vibrations through the air, so stopping those escaping is the aim, but will this also cause my system to heat up too much?
