Hi, this is my first thread on Tom'sHardware as i needed to ask for help so i signed up. Im a UK university computing student who is on a budget and i need to buy a Mini tower case for my PC im going to upgrade.
What i need:
A budget MicroATX, although i can go for a little more expensive one if its recommended really.
- Good/decent enough cooling for my system straight from the box, intake and exhaust, i dont want to invest in more fans (I dont really care how much fans, or LED lights for that matter as long as its got good enough cooling)
- PSU dust filter/s, because its going to be placed on carpet, most likely atop of a few books to keep it ventilated if the PSU is mounted at the bottom.
- Windowed side, not one with dotted side thing (Primarily to prevent air from getting in from the side, and not really to show off components).
- At least one 5.25 optical drive bay. Decent quality, and space enough for me to place components in because im later changing the Mobo, CPU and PSU and adding an SSD.
- Silent operating fans desired.
I have looked around for a number of days now, but i get lost and some sites dont give me the information i need about the cases and neither do the reviews. Also, Im not going to be water cooling the cpu or anything.
What i will be getting in the near future:
A MicroATX AM4 Socket-ed motherboard to support the AMD Ryzen 3 1200 or 1300x CPU, and an SSD.
Thank you,
