Case Advice

Hi guys,

I'm struggling with deciding on a case for my new build. I am looking for a case that is quiet but with good airflow.

One of the cases I have been looking at is:

It is quite expensive though so I was wondering if there are any cheaper alternatives?

Thanks

People have pointed out that the front door restricts airflow on that case.

I had seen some reports of that. Even more reason for a cheaper option

Thanks!

I just bought one of these:

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/phanteks-enthoo-luxe-full-tower-case-black-ca-004-pt.html

After using one of these for 18 months:

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/cors...-cube-case-black-cc-9011030-ww-ca-143-cs.html

Both highly recommended but I used a fan controller to make the Corsair a bit quieter (no reason for abandoning the Corsair btw just fancied a change) but overall the Phanteks feels higher quality due to the aluminium finish. Temps are about the same in both and there's plenty of room for a lot of hardware if you need it. When you've got a 200mm fan moving air there's always going to be some noise but I'm not finding it very noticeable.

Be warned though the Phanteks case weighs an absolute ton especially when it's loaded. I built mine downstairs and had to get it up a ladder to my loft / mancave - not something I'd be keen to repeat

Haha thanks for that mate. I have seen a lot of good things about Phanteks actually. With this new build I was trying to look at ways of keeping sound down so keep arriving at the bequiet series.

Will have another look into Phanteks
