Mid-Tower Case Recommendation

Superpatsy · 6 Apr 2015 at 12:17

Pay day on Thursday and fancy getting a new case but can't seem to decide which one!

I've been thinking either the Phanteks Enthoo Pro or the Corsair 450D but can't seem to pick between the two. I'm wanting it have the usual good airflow, cable management etc. I've just order a new 240mm AIO cooler so it'd need to fit in the case as well.

I'm open to suggestion but I'd like to keep it under £100 and for it to be black like the two mentioned.

Thanks in advance!

I was looking at the H440 but as you've said, the airflow issue put me off.

i have the phanteks Enthoo pro without the side window and i'd say it's the best case i've ever had, it looks brilliant.... it looks fantastic without the side panel on too

I have a couple of questions about the case. Does it have any fan controllers/software? I noticed it has the pin headers on the back of the chassis. And do you use the 200mm fan that was preinstalled or did you use something different?

I've had a look at the space under my desk and can fit a Luxe in so may go for that instead.

Thanks guys, much appreciated!

HI
i use my own fan controller but it does have pin headers on the back, but i've never used them

no remove the 200mm fan, it's way too noisy, replace it with twin 140s

this is my original Phanteks, my new one is black, so good i brought it twice

the black version looks much better, it's serious and nasty looking, a bit like the Corsair

i'll try and get photos of it, because i've modded the front grill as well

Also out of curiosity, what 140mm fans have you got in yours?

Perfect. Looks like a decision has been made!

Again, much appreciated!
