mATX build (case recommendation)

kingcarlos89 · Apr 1, 2015

Hey guys, want to move to matx from my atx as i want a smaller case for more mobility.

Current build is:
MSI Z97M gaming + 4690k
16gb g skill ram
2 HDD +1 SSD
1gtx 970
Superflower 600W.

Thinking of installing h100i on the new build. Currently looking at corsair 240 air and arc mini r2. would wonder which of this two cases offer better watercooling capability and airflow. cheers

I would 100% go for the 240 Air over the Arc Mini. More space, and the water cooling system has more space to stretch out, with space left for the reservoir

i just moved into an Aerocool DS (Dead Silence) Cube and am loving it - will accept coolers as tall as 195mm, and gpu cards as long as 355mm (if you don't mind losing the FDD)

besides being extremely quiet (i didn't realize how nice total quiet could be, it dropped my temps considerably from the SFF case i was coming from. The "quiet" is partially achieved by the huge fans: 200mm front fan turning at max of 500 rpm, usually 300rpm, and the 120 mm rear fan at 900 rpm.

comes in a number of colors but the red is sexy

street price is usually $109 at amazon shipped

Nah, if you add up all the dimensions, the 240 Air is heaps bigger

thats good to know. hows the quality of the case? I've seen reviews that it is a bit flimsy at the side

I wouldn't say its that flimsy.. It holds together pretty well, and keeps the sound down
