Hi,

I need some advice, I have this computer for about 7 months now, and I am really not satisfied with my case (bequiet silent base 800). As I am finding that it does not have good cooling performance and with that it eliminates the "silent" part in the name. Also it was a struggle to fin H110i cooler in it, had to mount fans on top of case this eliminating and decent airflow, getting Fans and pump work on higher RPM.

Anyway I am looking for a case up to 150€ that is decently silent when its not in use, and has good cooling solutions and enough room to fit my CPU cooler inside. Also enough room for possible future upgrade of another identical GPU. Side window is desired, and preferably Black with combination of silver, gray or red.

My build is:

- i5 6600k CPU
- H110i corsair cpu cooler
- Asus Maximus VIII Hero
- PS Corsair RM750x
- Gigabyte G1 Gaming 980 TI GPU
- 4x8 GB G.skill Ram

Thanks for help!

I also rock a R5 (non window), with a OC'ed 6700K and a H110i, so pretty similar setup. I think the case is really quiet, and I have no problem with temps.

You can fit a H110i in the front of a R5, but you have to remove the 5,25" bay and one of the 3,5" bays, effectively removing most of your HDD-mounts. You can also put the radiator on the top, but that means you have to remove the ventilation covers, and thus opening it up for dust and noise.

Because of this you might want to invest in the Fractal Define S instead. I believe it is usually a bit cheaper, but with...
