Phanteks Enthoo Primo replacement

[ChrisD.]

Hi guys,

Possibly looking at replacing my Primoo, because simply it's too large! I'd like something that can sit on my desk or next to it, rather than shoved at the side.

It needs to be able to house the following:
5960X
2*290X
Quad rad
Triple rad
Bay res/pump

It needs to be easy to work with and still look decent. I may, depending on what new GPU hardware comes out soon, change the dual cards to a single 390X or Titan II.

Uhm, I think the Fractal R5, might be able to meet your requirements, and it does look nice and slick, good price too! not on OC, but is sold elsewhere online.

Also, from what appears to be, its a silenced case, so pretty quiet, if you would to put it on your desk

H440 has many positives, and very nice to look at. I am very happy with mine.

He wont get a quad rad or a bay/res in a 440 hehe

TBH, I could change it to a tube res, however I am looking for something a little bit more upmarket than either example.

more upmarket means more money

i'm looking for a replacement for my Phanteks, i'm interested in the Corsair 760t........corsair 450........... the Inwin 707....but i just cant make my mind up

the Inwin D Frame is easily the best, i can afford it, but i feel guilty buying it

 

[ChrisD.]

Yes I know it means more money, but I don't mind paying for quality.

Hmm, I'm not so sure on the looks. Need to read some reviews.

the D Frame is an Art statement, it just looks so cool.....but the white Phanteks looks a bit girlie, but it looked ok at first.........it also looks a bit cheap and nasty.. it deffo doesn't compare to the Lian LI.

but the Lian LI looks a bit boring nowadays, the safest bet is the Corsair.

what about the dust problem with the D-Frame ???......the Phanteks gets full of dust too, picking a case is very hard

 

[ChrisD.]

What about a Caselabs S8?

I guess I could drop one to a triple?

pure quality and it shows, but with all the extras it'll be very expensive, the Merlin is interesting but it reminds me of Lian Li, too plain, but saying that all the stylish cases tend to look a bit cheap..........very hard choice

this is the one, plus there's another at 109 quid, this will look plain, but pure quality, it'll look great

problems ?.............it'll scratch very easily and really show, it'll also be very hard to clean off greasy fingerprints.............. but my gloss white Phanteks shows nothing

Lian's silver cases have no side windows they need to wake up and fast too
