New Case.

[Chrisbes]

Hey guys,

I currently have a Corsair 600t and I'm in the market for a new case. I've found the 600t to be far too large (too wide mostly) and I'm in need of a case that offers better cooling potential.

The case needs the following features:

Fits an ATX Motherboard with a Corsair TX850 Psu.
Has space for a single SSD and a single 3.5" HDD.
Has 3 drive bays,
Can accommodate a 30mm thick 240mm Radiator with 2 SP120s. Push or pull is fine. MAYBE with room to add radiators.
and can deal with a GPU that exhausts into the case, rather than outside.

Sound isn't too big of an issue as I will have a fan controller.

Does anybody have any suggestions on the best case to choose?

Well to find a case which is going to have good cooling potential you aren't going to find much thats smaller than your current case. I would've suggests the 650d as it has room for the rad you want and very good potential for air cooling. Had you any ideas before posting?

I'm somewhere in between playing with more configurations of my current case and it's locations, going fully watercooled and dealing with the size, or getting a new case.

I did have a look at the Fractal R2 as it's slightly skinnier.

the skinnier case will mean that your cable management will be worse, airflow is likely to be worse and could potentially make your system perform more poorly. I would try and stay with your case as it will give you the expansion you want most likely, or else if you really want ultimate expansion potential get something like a haf x or a 800d. I know you wanted somthing smaller but you won't get expandability with that...

Very true, except even the Phanteks Enthoo is thinner than the 600t!
But I think I'll play around with what I have.

Thanks
