New case please - any recommendations

_Jimlad_ · 5 Jul 2016 at 18:10

Hi all

i am looking to build a new high end system and starting with the case.

ideally in black and metal. one of my main requirements is quick access to he hard drives, i do lots of pc repairs and always end up sticking a hard drive or two in my pc, so either a top load bay or easy access in the case as i will often clone hard drives to ssd's

any recommendation, no real budget

With no budget, the choice is obvious...

Behold... THE H-TOWER

ok you got me! £150 budget

In that price range, the Phanteks Evolv Glass is probably one of the most high end looking cases you'll find, and it's very good.

The case is nice. But does not tick all the boxes. I ideally would only want glass / window on one side and ideally quick access for hard drive swapping.

I am thinking of going for the standard version of this case now. The glass looks awesome but not for me. I like the doors on the other one

Corsair 750D is what you want

Very easy access to SSD's by taking off the right panel and HDD's by taking off the left panel.

Looks nice I will take a look

I actually have that case too, I'll be online till about 1030pm if you have questions.

The best advice is quite simple, study whats available and buy a case ( YOU ) like

Good choice.

_Jimlad_ · 8 Jul 2016 at 18:03

Yep I am sold on that one

shaf · 6 Aug 2016 at 17:15

I think I'm going for the same

Enthoo Evolv ATX has been the best case I have had. I love it. I went for the normal version over the full glass as I have a dusty room and greasy fingers. But the design of the case has been great.
