Currently looking to get a new case, I've currently got a Zlaman Z9 running on air and it is almost completely inaudible in desktop use and very quiet under load with reasonable temperatures so this is what I'm looking to continue, to keep as quiet as possible.
I'm liking the look of the fractal design cases with their square and pretty minimalist external looks and I want to update some other things in my rig and was hoping as usual that the experience and the expertise of the forum would come in handy.
So any suggestions for a nice sleek case, I'm hoping to stick with a mid sized case but I'm open to any and all suggestions.
I also want to go for a prefilled liquid cooler for the CPU was hoping to get the best performance so would probably want to go with the largest rad possible and as seems to be the style mount this in the top of the case.
Finally I want to put a full window on the side of the case so it looks like I would have to get some plastic on the side. There are plenty of guides out there on how to affix it to the case but I'm not really sure what to go for. Velcro seems the least invasive but putting in some screws is probably the best looking. Suggestions on where I buy the window would be great thanks.
Usually people seem to be recommending that one replaces the fans on the prefilled rads to something quieter. I have 3x Thermalright TY 147 fans at the moment which I use about the case as I've heard they're pretty good with static pressure and they're pretty quite I was hoping I could mount these on a large rad and elsewhere in the case. I want to keep it relatively cheap rather than buying noctuas, also... THE BROWN!!
Thanks in advance for any help, I have been a bit vague in areas but I don't like to make my mind up on anything until I've had a good sounding out. Probably the only thing I'm set on is using a prefilled liquid cooler, I know performance wise there's no particular reason to choose one but as they have similar performance I like the aesthetics
Edit: Just had a look, the corsair 450D is also tickling my fancy
