New Case Recommendations

Cpute · 24 Feb 2013 at 09:47

I was looking at getting a new case seeings as my rad only just fits in the one i have but im unable to do the side panel up properly, so i was wondering what recommendations you guys. I have a budget of about £70 and i am looking to add a bigger water cooling system in the future.

Watch a few vids of it on Youtube, it has some good room inside.

Thats a nice size and price exactly what im looking for im not to keen on the design though :/. Thanks for your help though good suggestion.

I don't know much about watercooling but my Corsair 300R is a wonderful case. Tons of room, everything is very cool with stock fans and the top *may* take a H100 radiator (not entirely sure, but I'm sure Corsair/youtube can tell you

). Build quality is fantastic to.

Or something like the XSPC H2 but without the price tag :/

The new arc midi is coming out soon

VIPER258 · 24 Feb 2013 at 14:48

Corsair 300r should fit the bill.

this case is highly recomended by a lot of people and its on offer

I want to buy a new case today i've been looking at the Bitfenix Shinobi XL and the Corsair 650D, Just wondering if you had any other recommendations or if anyone can vouch for either 2 of these cases, I dont have but i would like the option of being able to fit a minimum of a 240mm rad in either the top or bottom.

im not totally sure about the bitfenix however i really like corsair cases mainly because of the stunning aluminium finish

Cpute · 16 Mar 2013 at 17:37

I do like the corsair 650D but it is expensive id like to maybe find one for a bit cheaper if possible.

Wait for the new fractal arc midi R2.

Doomedspeed · 16 Mar 2013 at 19:51

Never used it myself but seen a lot of videos about the Shinobi XL, Like this case very much.

weeroo · 16 Mar 2013 at 20:15

I've got the case

Plus points:
- Excellent cooling
- Rad support in the roof
- Looks awesome

bad points:
- Not great cable management
- Feels "smaller than it looks" inside

hakank68 · 16 Mar 2013 at 21:34

if youre looking for a similar budget case, the cooler master haf x is aslo really good, i think you get a lot of stock fans with it aswell

Cpute · 18 Mar 2013 at 20:30

In the end i kept a tight budget and went with the corsair 400r
cheers for the help guys
