Hey guys, I'm in the process of planning a new build and I'm struggling with finding some information about cases.
I'm hoping to pick something small in size, but not so small that it becomes impractical to build and/or keep properly cooled. I've narrowed my choices to either Fractal Meshify 2 Compact with stock fans or the ASUS Prime AP201 MicroATX + 5-pack of ARCTIC P12 Max fans. Price wise it comes out to about the same 105-110 pounds.
One of my main concerns is dust build up. Fractal has multiple filters, Asus only a bottom one. I'm wondering how much do the filters actually help? Because if I'll have to clean the case up often anyway, then I might as well go for the smaller, easier to clean one.
I also heard in some reviews that the fans get really loud in the Asus, because they are mounted straight onto the metal mesh. Is that the case?
Here's the build in question.
Fractal version - https://uk.************.com/list/QcGZ28
Asus version - https://uk.************.com/list/wRnRFs
Oh, and of course and C&C about the build in general is more than welcome.
