After nearly 8years with my old Cooler Master CM 690 nVidia Edition case I am thinking it's time for something new - also because the case is showing it's age with some rust spots on the bare metal inside. Also the option for better cable management than now would be nice.

I am looking for a case that fits my taste and the primary criteria for it is that it must have superb (not just good but great) airflow to cool my current 3 way SLi setup but also my future ones.

I have found one case that I particular like very much and think is as visually appealing to me as my old CM 690.
I have been thinking of getting the Phanteks Enthoo Pro with side window

However I wonder if it will provide good airflow for three cards ? Noise is of no real issue for me (but not insanely loud)

Would this case be a good replacement ?

Else I have thought of the Cooler Master CM 690 III Green edition

I know CM 690 always have a good reputation for GPU cooling - just like my current one, which is why I've had it for so long.

What are you're guys thoughts ? are there any other cases I should consider ? (I have looked at the Corsair 500R but not sure if that's good with airflow )
Looking to spend max £100

Enthoo Pro any day at that price range

Has great value and an insane amount of features, excellent airflow etc etc

Also you could look at the Obsidian 450D from Corsair

YOUR BASKET
1 x Corsair Obsidian 650D Gaming Windowed Midi Tower Case - Black (CC650DW) £99.95
1 x Corsair Obsidian 450D High Airflow Mid-Tower Case (CC-9011049-WW) £91.99
1 x Phanteks Enthoo Pro Mid Tower Enthusiast Case with Window £89.99
1 x Corsair Carbide 300R Mid Tower Windowed Case - Black (CC-9011017-WW) £69.95
Total : £376.00 (includes shipping : £20.10).



The NZXT H440 is a great case, but the airflow is poor regarding intake from the front and exhaust at the top, so be wary :)
 
The Corsair 650D looks good too ! Still the psu cover and the hdd cover phanteks sport in the enthoo pro is really appealing. I'll have to compare enthoo pro an the obsidian 650d a bit more.
 
Puh I am confused.. Enthoo Pro vs Obsidian 650 vs Carbide 500R (that one in white is kinda growing on me)- that's what I have narrowed my options down to after watching a lot of youtube reviews.

The Carbide 500R looks to have the most space and best cable management room.... but the looks of the Enthoo and the "stealth" design for psu and hdd cover and the grest looks does appeal a lot.
 
I definitely would pick the enthoo pro. It has superior expansion for watercooling and it's an amazing case all around
 
Thanks for the feedback ! the more I look at videos and reviews the more I'm certain the Phanteks Enthoo Pro is the right one for me... I'm gonna order one tomorrow :)
