Question on cases

chili · 4 Aug 2015 at 17:54

i bought a system from Oc it was built into a bitfenix prodigy mini itx case, the case is fine but the plastic footing is weak as cats P*** and i am not happy with it.

i have the following parts
full size gtx970 graphic card
asus z971 plus intel z97 mini itx mobo
water cooled Asetek 120mm 570lc
power supply superflower golden green hx 550w "80 plus gold"

1x ssd drive 1x normal 7200rpm hd
system build fan noiseblocker 120mm

that is pretty much it i would like to get another case and have been looking at these 3 below, will i get my parts into one of these?

Cooler Master Elite 130 Mini ITX Case - Black

Corsair Carbide Series Air 240 High Airflow PC Case - Black

Corsair Obsidian Series 250D Mini ITX Compact Gaming Case - Black

or any other suggestions welcome, along with ideas to mod the bitfenix case base/footing

out of those 3 my personal preference would be the Obsidian 250D, I think the Air 240 looks a bit cheap and plastic, its also MATX so going to be bigger, and if you go MATX you will have more options anyway. Have you considered Fractal ?

YOUR BASKET
1 x Fractal Design Node 804 Micro-ATX Case - Black Window £69.95
1 x Fractal Design Node 304 HTPC Chassis - Black £63.95
1 x Fractal Design Node 304 HTPC Chassis - White £60.95
Total : £204.44 (includes shipping : £8.00 Ex.VAT).

No i did not consider the fractal one, thanks for pointing that one out. am guessing bits will fit in these cases?

well the 804 will be fine, and I'm 90% sure everyting will go in the 304, aside from your extra fan. they both have rear 140mm fan which will be fine for the radiator. mount, see if any of the pros comment like stulid..

I second the vote for the 250D. A great case and it houses all my components with relative ease. A joy to work on.
