I currently have an Antec one case, it's a bit small and it's loud

I want something bigger so I've got more air flow and I want something as silent as possible

Budget of around £80 - What can I get guys

I've seen the Antec P100 is this a good buy? I don't feel their are enough fans that can go in it though .....
 
Wondering how much the p100 would be an upgrade over my Antec one - They look to be about the same size - Just want something that offers less noise and more cooling

Yeah that's quite a lot haha (8 fans!), and not many cases have 2x120mm/140mm rear exhaust fans either!

I have seen some before but they're really expensive

Still can't make my mind up though which one to get..... I originally wanted focus on silence but now I want a bigger case and better cooling

Hm, ok

If you get something with one/two intake fans and an exhaust, the H75 can go in the rear exhaust position so that's one free fan. That rear fan from the case can go in the roof, that's another exhaust, then you got the two in the front and possibly add another intake in the floor/side?

That sounds good :)

Just need to decide what case to go for
 
I don't get what this means in the specs of it though

COOLING 120mm fan 140mm fan 200mm fan
- Front 2x 2x 1x (included)
- Top 3x 3x 1x
- Rear 1x 1x (1x included)
- Bottom 2x 1x
- HDD cage 2x -

What are all the 2x 2x 1x etc

Can't be number of fans
 
Looks like it's just 1 200MM in the front, 2 in the top and one on the rear

No side fan though - Only just realised - Could be a deal breaker as my GPU gets very hot
 
I don't mind filling them up though tbh

I do have fans I could use from my antec one but really no idea if they're any good. They are loud.

Could you please throw me some suggestions for which fans to buy?
 
I cant seem to find out for sure if the Phanteks Enthoo Pro has 2 120MM fan slots in the bottom, from what I can gather it just has 1 x 200mm fan in the front, 3 x 120MM at the top and 1 x 120mm exhaust

Just trying to work out how many fans I actually need to buy

As said earlier with my H75 that frees up one of the fans so I can move the exhaust one that comes with the case to the top, think that's 4 fans I'd need to buy if the bottom does have 2 120mm slots
 
There's also mounts for 120mm fan on the side of the HDD cages - Not sure if these would be worth adding though, I was considering removing both of the HDD caeg so I get more intake from the front

Just to confirm - Front fan - taking air in, top fans - taking air out, exhaust - obvious, bottom fan - Do I want it taking air in or out
 
I got the case today and my system is in it now

It's an amazing case to work with so easy. The cable management almost does its self and the case looks very neat

I have most of the fans connected to the pwm hub in the case but I'm really not sure if I should be adjusting fan speeds manually

I need to get an led or something inside the case as I got the windowed version - any suggestions?

Thanks for all of the help Shivy I appreciate it

Don't mention it :)

The pwm hub you've put into the CPU fan header? It would be nice to set your own fan curve up for the fans, I wrote a short guide for speedfan which I'll link you later as I'm on my phone ATM. However if you can't be bothered, I imagine the board will do a good enough job on its own.

LEDs.. The bitfenix and nzxt ones are supposed to be good. There's also the RGB NZXT Hue which is RGB.. obviously and mounts in a 5.25 bay. If you know how to solder, you can get yourself an RGB led kit off the bay for about £15 and that comes with a cool remote where you can change brightness, make it do silly flashing etc. I'll link you to that guide too. The NZXT hue comes with a 2m strip, the bay led kit comes with 5m

I've just looked at the RGB NXZT and it looks great - Is it just a case of sticking the LED strips where you want them
