Hi,
I'm looking for a decent case with a 5.25" bay for my blu-ray drive.

I currently have a Fractal Design R6 in white, which I really like, but I'm planning on passing my old PC and case onto my daughter and building a new one in a similar case.

The issue is I can't easily find the newer model - the Fractal Design Refine 7 - in stock anywhere, or at least not at a reasonable price. The compact seems more available but I want the regular size.

Any other recommendations for a quiet mid tower case for a 9950X3D + 4090FE build, similar to the Refine 7?

Thanks!

rare as hens teeth tbh, they're all going for front vent/large fans in the "drive bay" area.

Maybe look for a older case. Mine has 12 x 5.25" bays :D

Thanks. I only want one bay though...

I like the Fractal Design case as you can turn it into an open case with no drive bays (except for the 5.25" of course.)

I'm also hunting for a case I like with a 5.25 bay. Here's my current shortlist:

Phanteks Enthoo Pro
BeQuiet Pure Base 600
Fractal Design Pop/PopXL Air (5.25 bay in dumb place ie at the bottom)
Antec P101 Silent
Antec P10 Flux
