Spent 2 full days reading up on components and picked out everything except the case. Picking a case is driving me nuts. Please help!
My chosen CPU is only 65 TDP and my GFX card is a completely passively cooled 750Ti (that I will scavenge from my existing computer, and upgrade at a much later date). The case cooling requirements are thus very low, only requiring some smooth air flow.
Case priorities:
1. Must have LARGE (ie., no high pitched) active stock/factory mounted fans that are LOW NOISE
2. Must have bottom mounted PSU option (which I will mount with the fan facing down)
3. Prioritize good balance of air flow and noise reduction over aesthetics (don't need windows, LEDs, etc., but also don't mind them)
4. Should have high quality (eg. NOT crappy like the "recommended" Z11 Neo, but more like the MasterCase 5 (which I am leaning towards, except I'm unhappy with the front air intake) and stock fan mount).
If you have experience with, or simply know of any cases, beyond the ones recommended on Tom's already, then please point me in the right direction and I will dig up some reviews.
Thanks in advance!
