Hey all,
I'm looking for a new system case for my PC, with a few demands for it, so here we go:
- This case is for use in a Media/Gaming centre scenario, it's not my main rig so it doesn't get used as much, however, it is for show so it must look pretty .
- It must fit extended ATX motherboards (I'm ok with it being a massive case), as well as big air coolers such as the Noctua NH-D15.
- The ideal cost would be 100€, but it must be under 200€.
- As quiet as possible since being in a Media centre, the sounds of the fans can be intrusive.
- Being able to mount the graphics card vertically is a major plus.
- RGB fans and so on would be nice. If it does have a lot of RGB there must be a way to turn them off easily for movies sessions.
- Being able to mount water reservoirs is also a plus (again, for show).
- Finally but not least good quality so it lasts many years to come.
That's it for the requirements. The case I found that fits most of these is the CoolerMaster MasterCase H500P Mesh White, except for the fact that it seems to be noisy and it still has a few design flaws (which will supposedly be corrected in the third iteration of the case).
This PC is built with leftovers of my main rig, so despite getting older internals they do tend to be very nice, for example, I'll soon be upgrading to the new Nvidia 1100 series so this rig will get a nice looking EVGA 770 Classified.
Finally, this case is being used in a home cinema style room, it's running a 1080p projector on a 100inch screen and sporting a full 7.2 surround system (proper AV system, not a prebuilt one).
Thanks!
