New Case (recommendations)

Swizz · 20 Aug 2020 at 12:38

I decided I want to change my current case which is a SilverStone Fortress FT02. She's built like a tank, but after 6/7 years, you want something fresh.

I'm reaching out for recommendations, not necessary the same size as my current case, but a case with very good stock fans that will keep everything cool as the FT02 did Or near enough.

In addition I need a case that will be able to occupy the parts that I have. As follows..

Noctua NH-D14 Dual Radiator (She's fairly large)
Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD4H
3GB EVGA GTX 780
Samsung 840 Pro SSD
3TB Seagate Barracuda 7
750W XFX Pro Black Edition P1-750B

Thanks.

That's a nice case that tick all of the boxes, thanks....

Since creating this thread I discovered the Eclipse P600S..

On weighing up, now I'm torn between the two.

Am torn between buying a black or gun metal colour Evolv X

That Eclipse P600S is a great idea but i worry the front mesh will look dirty & dusty quickly

You make a good point about the P600S..

I'm thinking the Evolv X is for me. What I am thinking about doing is building a whole new Ryzen setup around next March. This will be my first Ryzen build if I do go down that route. Down the years I have and on all occasions sided with Intel.. So yeah I hope it turns out to be expected, from what I have read about the new Ryzen processor that's due to be released soon. When it comes to cases the whole watercooling scenario is not me..So I will install even more fans inside.
