is it just me or is there others that get the same way?
Ive got the Phanteks Enthoo pro M I like the case but... I fancy a change..

Ive got a thing about the NZXT S340 or the Phanteks P400
I know these would mean I would need to ditch my Blu-Ray drive but my thoughts there is..

when was the last time I used it?... Months ago!!
what for?.... to burn a software CD..

I could live with a USB drive Im sure...

Problem is, too many nice cases out there!! I just bought a Caselabs S5, looks incredible even though I won't be building it (WC build, my first) for a few months at least!! It'll happily sit in its box til then :D

When I've done builds in the past I buy the case I like at the time but then after being on here looking at others project build I all of a sudden change my mind and want another case :p

I built a system up for my lad using the S340 and it is a really nice case to work with.
It also has a better dust filter on the front which I like better than the one on the front of my current case.
My only gripe with it is I could only fit 2 x 120mm fans on the front. but it is a smaller case than my current one.

the P400 I could fit 3 x 120mm fans on the front like my current case it is a bit smaller but no ODD bay.
Im not sure if the dust filter on it would be as much use as the one on the NZXT case.

I must admit... Ive looked at a few video reviews of the P400s and I really do like it..
My machine is pretty silent and this would possibly make it even more so.
I would like to know users thoughts on the dust filters if there any good. the one on the Phanteks Enthoo pro M is pretty poor as there is a gap between the fans and the filter.
dont get me wrong its not the worst but I find I need to dust it more than I would like..

I always try and get the best case for whatever I'm trying to achieve at the time but with new cases being released all the time I end up changing cases quite often.

Last year for example I bought 5 cases but I'm hoping what I have now will last me for a while as it got very expensive last year.

when I bought my lad the S340 he had the crosshair v formula z board with the FX8350
Ive upgraded him to an Asus z97 Gryphon Armour mATX board with my old 4770k so kind of wish I had held off and got him a mATX case.

Might see about a cheap mATX case for him and stick my system in the S340..

I lack the motivation to get bored of a case lol - too much hassle migrating a system. I do like my 540 Air though not got bored of that but I am a sucker for a nice looking case and sometimes considered a whole new build just because I like the look of a case.

I like the look of the 540 but it wouldn't fit where my system sits. I would need a new desk to go with the 540....

Love the look of the 540. But won't touch a case with plastic window now I've used glass. If they update it I'll be all over it!

Not just you, got a silverstone ML08 sfx case and couldn't stop looking at it. Now I've seen the Bitfenix Portal and decide I want a piece of it. I'd like to investigate the part of the human brain responsible for these irrational urges lol.

Tend to change mine every 18-24 months but I prefer mine to have a depth of 450mm or less

Had the Silverstone Sugo SG09 before getting the Phanteks Evolv and a Silverstone SG05 before that
