PC Case Advise

Nermand · 21 Mar 2020 at 13:41

Hi guys,

Can you advise me which PC case should I buy, please. I look to get:

Corsair 500D Obsidian RGB

Corsair Crystal Series 680X RGB

Cooler Master MasterCase H500M ARGB

I look to spend not more than £250.

Thank you in advance.

Coolermaster out of those three because of the airflow.

Many Thanks , Grimley.

Would you recommend something different than Coolermaster?

probably this. Replace the existing fans if you wish if you want RGB.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x Phanteks Eclipse P600S Glass Silent Midi Tower Case - Black= £134.99
1 x Corsair LL140 RGB, 140mm Dual Light Loop RGB LED PWM Fan, 2 Fan Pack with Lighting Node PRO= £69.95

Total: £218.14 (includes shipping: £13.20)

Thank you for your recommendation. Why do you think Phanteks Eclipse P600S is better than Collermaster H500M , please?

You can install 2 PC's in the P600s for starters, also check Gamers Nexus on youtube for case reviews. Airflow is important to keep your PC hardware cool during gaming.

Get the evolv x mate great case has everything you will ever need.

I have the H500M and it is a great case. If water cooling and you fit a radiator immediately behind the 2x200mm front fans, then those fans become useless. I have had to replace them because of the noise they generated and lack of cooling benefit for the radiator. See this link https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/threads/add-a-2nd-radiator-in-custom-loop.18875191/ and https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/t...wanting-same-airflow-and-less-noise.18880940/ It would be good if the case could be sold without any fans and the price reduced as I have replaced all original fans for ARGB options.

Hi guys,

Many Thanks for your all replies.

I found a new H500M for £163 , I believe it's a reasonable price for this case...?

I just came across Phanteks Evolv X. Any ideas, please?

P600S is almost the same (No RGB) for around £60 less.

Many Thanks , Grimley. I'd stay with RGB... CoolerMaster H500M or Phanteks Evolv X then...? CoolerMaster is £40 cheaper....
