Hi,
I've just upgraded my 10 years old PC.
Back in the days, I bought the best of the best money (my money that is) could buy and my PC lasted for 10 wonderful years without any problem, going 24/7, that's 3650 days working non-stop
Anyway, I've decided to upgrade the "main stuff" to enjoy newer technology, so I only kept my Corsair HX620 PSU and my Gigabyte Aurora 3D case.
After putting everything together I've realized that my case does wrong to my beautiful new components and I've decided to upgrade.
After a lot of reading, I narrowed it down to 2 cases, the NZXT Noctis 450 and the SS Primera PM01. I actually first thought I'll be getting the Corsair 760T as it is amazing and I have optical drives, a Card Redar and a hard drive hot swap but those 2 cases blew me away (design wise).
Can you guys help me decide between the two?
First, I want a quiet case.
Second, I want it to last !
I'm not planing to OC anything as I'm not a gamer, I mainly use it for Photoshop.
My components are :
Asus Z270E Gaming
I7 7700K cooled down by my good old Thermalright TRUE 120 Extreme (Had to buy an adapter for it to fit the newer 1151 MB) with 2 Noctua 120mm fans.
32GB G.Skill Trident 3200 CL14 (2x16GB)
Asus GTX1070 Strix
Samsung Evo 500GB SSD
4 TB of hard drives for data (2x1TB + 1x2TB) but I can give some of them up.
Now, I know the 450 has a better fan hub as it has a speed controller.
I want to know what you guys think...
I've read somewhere that a guy with the 450 complained about the door thumb screws that are very bad and he is actually trying to avoid opening the door unless he really has too...
Anyway, if someone here had a chance to work with both cases I'll really appreciate any info.
Price wise the PM01 is the cheapest, it is not available in my country buy I can order it online.
The 450 costs like $50 more but available here.
Just for a comparison, the Corsair 760T cost roughly $50 more than the 450...
Thanks for your help and sorry for the long post
