Hi,
I'm considering buying new case for my PC. I may want to get pice buy piece to collect new rig.
I just looked through many Pc cases and cant decide but have some wishes:
I want my new case to have:
- no fancy starship build, just "normal" simple look ( if possible )
- mid tower ATX
- as much space i can get of mid tower inside
- at least 2 USB 2.0 + mic / headphones out in the front ( i would be glad if i could have more USBs as i have 2 now and they are in use all the time )
- cable routing behind the mainboard try
- CPU backplate cutout
- "window" sidewall would be great
That is pretty much what i expect from good case. Other than that i have Lamptron fan controller so fans on the case needs to be 3 pin so i can use them with that unit.
I was considering few of them:
1. Obsidian 650D
CONS: Audio and USB behind the flap (as i use them ports all the time flap is pain, is that panel optional ?)
2. CoolerMaster HAF922
CONS: looks a bit like starship, after you conect USB + headphones cables hanging down right on the way of optical drives
3. CoolerMaster 690 II Advanced
CONS: seems quite low space inside
4. CoolerMaster Sniper storm
CONS: that fan speed regulation wont be used since i have controller already
5. Thermaltake V9 black
CONS: my cables would go wild inside since cant route them behind
6. The Antec 902
CONS: Old school 3.5" / 5.25" bays is annoying when pulling devices towards mainboard
Sorry for trying to do reserch here but i really dont want to get something and then go mental and regret.
For front panels i suppose i could get one of those Icy Box IB-863 Front Panel to sort out USBs + card reader
Any comments or sugesstions ?
Perhaps i missed some good position
