Spec me a case

[cobhc]

Hello all,

Looking for preferably a mid-tower case, need room for a EK Predator 360 in there, not really too bothered about space for drives as it'll probably be an SSD or two and just a single storage drive.

I won't be using an optical drive so looking for something with a clean front, I love the look of the H440 but I've seen that airflow isn't great on that.

Been looking at the Fractal Define S, but it looks a little boring looking to me.

Budget is up to £150 really and front USB 3.1 would be a nice bonus.

Phanteks do cases that do what you want

Yeah, as much as I said Mid-Tower and up to £150, the Enthoo Primo is drool worthy especially in the Black/Red Special Edition. Any known issues with it?

I dont believe there's any known issues, just a large case with lots of support for components.

Enthoo Evolv ATX should also take the parts you want.

Corsair carbide 540air is a beauty!!!

- thats why they've released a new version with improved airflow (the old version isn't that bad for airflow, just that people hadn't set them up correctly)

Enthoo Evolv ATX is the best case I've ever owned. imho best case 2015

I have primo enthoo in orange.. they are huge cases.. lots of options, loads of cable management, a fan hub.. probably way to many 5.25 slots. The build quality isn't as good as my fractal R4. one minor niggle.. if you look at the side on photo theres a nice black cover strip hiding the cable grommets.. well if you have something the length of a OCUK GTX 970, you have to remove it which exposes the cable grommet holes. I cut mine with saw

you will need some lighting, I used 2x cougar led 2x NZXT fans plus and 2x NZXT light strips one wrapped around the phanteks logo window.

the Fractal maybe boring, but will be a far more compact ATX Build.

I have to disagree. I've got one sitting on the floor and it's got nothing on the clean look of the H440 on my desk!

I've got a 360 + 240mm Rads in mine and temps don't go above 60c with two gpus and cpu at 4.8ghz.
