Aerocool Dryft v2 Midi-Tower ATX i did luke the look of this but again i havent a clue what will​

So, is the PC all up and running now?

If so, glad its all sorted and working. taking your time and asking if unsure got you there in the end.

Its all up and running now , appreciate all the information , obviously theres a few bits as suggested to check out , but it didnt catch fire lol. Yeah ill always ask , its the reason i joined theres more lnowledge in asking than not ... think its created a bug , it was really enjoyable in the end

apologies for the additional pictures , my phone wouldnt remove them . Its definitely the kolink or aerocool i think. Ill have a look now and order one or the other , just soo many options but it was better that i got recommendations as if of bought something that would have probably limited the options .

Trying to find them 2 on amazon as i have a £80 refund , but there nowhere to be seen ... the brands are on there but different style cases

I completely get that , and understood on forum rules I DO intend to use overclockers shop for a majority of my items lol . Just having a look through there cases now

It looks ok, although some of the reviews mentioned that it is very thin sheet metal. This makes me think it's a bit overpriced for what it is.
Also I saw 2 versions, 1 with fans included and one without at different price points....

For the price of the one without fans you could get a Phanteks NV5, which is a known brand and having built in several of their cases I've always found the quality to be great.
It's a more upright case (as the PSU is on the bottom not behind the motherboard tray) but still has a similar glass front and side type aesthetic.

Or for the same price as the one with fans, there's the NZXT H6, which again is a known brand and includes 3 RGB fans that are likely to be better than the ones included with the amanson

If I'm being perfectly honest, the name 'amanson' doesn't inspire much confidence for me given where they are selling them
But it's your money and at that age your son will want what he wants and likely not be as snobby as I am about the quality of the fans, so don't let me drag you too far off the track

Ill replace fans regardless if there not of good quality thats no issue , theres also KEDIERS c770 , but again i know nothing of the brands

So many choices i really do apologise with the questions , just dont wany one thats limiting the options . The last one i looked at was this . Tried to minimise photos the best i could lol

Im kind of understanding what you mean by space etc , with regards to hardware as smaller cases limited your options with regards to a decnt gpu etc

Ok ive bit the bullet got the 1st player one , ive noticed it takes 120mm fans , was gonna get cooler masters argb mg120, are they good enough ?

 

[g6yob]

Poxy autocorrect , yes there mf120s , i actually got them at £9 a go , so its not a massive loss if i decide to replace them down the line really. Just wanted something gaming based for him to open up on xmas so he knows ....with regards to budget im not entirely sure really . More budget-ish but id quiet happily replace parts pretty quick to upgrade . Needs to be capable of gaming for him , ie fifa fortnite etc etc . Its also his first pc so its a chance to learn how to use it all. But definately gonna be having all the led treatment with led cabling , brackets etc
