mATX Case suggestgions? (R4 + Hydro?)

Liam · 13 May 2013 at 11:06

Hi all,

As title really. I need a new case due to my current one not being able to accommodate my components.

I've been looking at the following but can't make my mind up ;

Fractal Design Define R4
Fractal Arc Midi V2
Corsair Obsidian 350D
Silverstone TJ08-E (Looks a little more awkward than the others)

I'm leaning more towards the R4 - Look's like a nice case with watercoolering/hydro cooling options.

Suggestions?

Cheers

Thanks for the replies guys.

I wouldn't mind a hydro cooler (H80i etc) so having a huge case wouldn't be an issue. It's a tough decision! I wouldn't mind one that would accommodate a SSD without an adapter.

I hear nothing but bad things about the Corsair coolers so might go for the D14 so would want a case to accommodate that!

i5, GTX 570, SSD and 3.5" storage. That's about it at the moment. Full size modular PSU and would be looking at getting a CPU cooler at the same time.

Pretty set on the TJ08-E or the 350D now looking at it.

You have an aftermarket cooler on your GTX570 too don't you mate? My PC has been out of action for over a month now as I had to RMA my PSU and never put it back together etc because I need a new case too.

Hoping the TJ08-E will support the GTX570 with an aftermarker cooler too!?

Doomedspeed - Do you know if the Silverstone TJ08-E be able to have a Alpenföhn K2 Mount Doom CPU cooler?

Height of the D14 is 160mm and the K2 is 164 ...

Thanks
