Addicted to upgrading cases...should I leave it

HankSc0rpi0 · 14 Jan 2025 at 13:03

Have been playing around with idea of going for something like an Antec Flux Pro, Antec C8 Curve or even an Asus ProArt PA602.

Not really into RGB everywhere but I have a sort of Noctua brown theme going on my motherboard accents, fans and psu cables. So reasonably subtle.

Was thinking the wood finish on either of the above cases would look nice. But wondering if I should just call it.
Have been through Corsair 5000D Airflow, Phanteks NV5 and now have an NZXT H7 Flow 2024 - all cases had zero issues.
I'm sure changing from my H7 to another case won't net me much in the way of performance.
So far dust has not been an issue on the H7. Would be interested in opinions.

If it's something you enjoy doing then go for it, there are far more expensive habits

I guess you are right but I suppose I am thinking of the effort it took me to get current setup to where I want it and now transplanting to a new case seems daunting. Still....

I have the same addiction. I’m going to try building on an open bench table, but know I’ll swap it soon. I’ve just purchased a Corsair 2500X too, I have about 20 cases in the loft.

Not really if a case is still suitable why upgrade? My stacker is still great, even though it doesn't have brackets for radiators it's big enough to screw/mount onto the huge motherboard plate.
