What case to upgrade to

[sparkz89]

Mmm been a corsair fan for a while now and well i have too many components in my rig, 500R
with all this new hardware, not getting enough airflow and the wire management has become a pain because i cant neatly pack it somewhere

thinking of either getting the 600T or the 650D but if these 2 arn't might just blow some more money on the 800D what do you guys think

check out the antec 1100

Havent used one myself but I have used the P280 and the cable management is awesome

I would personally take the 650D It's a very big case considering it's a mid tower and I'm sure you'll have enough space.

Also, you have the entire back panel to do your cable management apposed to the indented sections of the 500R (I own the 550D which is basically the same interior design, so I feel your pain in this area).

only thing is is that i like to mount the H80 on the top of the case, so that it has cold air coming in, w/ my 3000 RPM fan pushing out the hot air, i hate having this h80 sometimes wihs i bought the h100 lol

You could always mount your H80 at the back of your case to draw in cold air, then exhaust hot air out of the top

If you get the 650D, that's always an option since the 650D has a top 200MM fan already installed.

take a look at fractal cases

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&N=100006644&isNodeId=1&Description=fractal

the r4 just came out and is available in 3 colors and is available in windowed and non windowed versions. they are dead silent cases and honestly they are very very high quality for the price. i have the older r3 and is amazing, the r4 is even better. the arc midi is also a great case but doesnt have silencing like the define series
