Case suggestions for my first PC build (black / red)

helppc · Mar 1, 2015

I'm building my very first PC around this motherboard...

http://us.msi.com/product/mb/Z97-G45-GAMING.html#hero-overview

And i7 4790k processor

I'm looking for a good quality and good priced black and red case (black with red trim and red lights?) for a black and red themed desktop!

I'm considering the black and red MSI GTX 970 GPU as well so it needs fit that

There is a reasonably priced bitfenix shadow.

No optical drive cage.

Zeryth :

I LOVE the way that looks inside but the front is kind of plain looking and doesn't have accessible ports.

Is there any that look like that inside with red lights, but red lights and ports on front? I've seen some that have crazy gauges and stats too.

Forgive my ignorance but what does "no optical drive cage" mean? Also, does this case have red lights inside?

The bitfenix shadow has a frontpanel which can be opened but to keep that sleek look it is closed.

I went with the Corsair 300R http://www.corsair.com/en-us/carbide-series-300r-compact-pc-gaming-case
I have a z97 Gaming 7 Motherboard that is red and black. I got some red led fans and put then in the front and back of the case and it looks awesome. The case is pretty big and has room for a ton of components... hope this helps

Means case doesn't use an optical drive.

You could also take a look at the zalman z11 plus HF1

it's a micro-atx case, but it's a damn good looking red/black case
