Madness Case chase!!

So many cases to choose from right?

I'm thinking it's time to change my system meaning going to keep some parts but with an new look. At the moment using an "Cooler Master - Storm Trooper" as it's an very nice case but very heavy and big and looking to downsize the case so that it doesn't overpower my office.

An new case with some nice RGB with an side glass. Case with easy cable management. Spent about two days to come up with an case that I like.

Corsair is the cheapest and I don't like it has an handle on the glass, rather like full panel glass, like the
Corsair 275R. Phantek has more airflow it seems but comes with RGB affect and better cable management.

Phanteks enthoo evolv X takes my interest but at an cost! sems to be to high to what I want to pay for.

It is cheaper since it's not RGB Fan case. Talking about it that the case you mention above doesn't even have that front fan option?

Looking to get an nice Corsair H115I Pro to go nicely with the case that I yet to pick. I do like the Lian Li, Dynamic Midi-tower but in the long run can cost allot more since it doesn't have 120mm fans and for three pack of RGB fans, looking at over 50

PS: can anyone recommended me good case fan for Dynamic Midi-tower

Yeah I agree and that's why I'm going to do the same! it's big and 2018 life is no longer bigger the better.

I'm going to go with H115i Pro with some RGB fans and since my Board doesn't support RGB then "Corsair Commander PRO" will be used as it's the only one that I can see that does fans and light strips.

Regards the case more leading to "Phanteks enthoo pro m with RGB edition" since it has fans with lights in them as the other version doesn't. I like to have RGB but not crazy!! like lights just fading..

Just don't know if Commander PRO will do the job.

I looked into RGB but love my PC to be as quiet as possible. I'm very OCD with noise and the RGB ML120 fans were about £70 for 3 then another £50 for the controller.

Over £100 for some pretty LEDs. I like glowing/LED hardware but I work in engineering myself, I know what these cost to make which makes it harder for me to justify buying them

I see you have the LED on the fans

but not fully clear. Whta controller you using?

End of the day it comes down to what case you need to regards what hardware and also what people like. Most of us now have the case displayed on the desk. "75R does look very nice but that put me off wit the 4 screws and the front of the case doesn't have much of an air flow.

yeah I agree on the air flow, also considering the Meshify C for that reason. Although I don't love the front panel design I don't thing it's terrible either.

Yet again there are allot of cases that has that front end. Not many has open air in the front..

Just inform that I'm already got the "Phanteks enthoo pro m with RGB edition" So that's what I'm going with
