What case to use?

[proxyc]

Hi all,

Can someone please help me choosing the best case for my new build? I've been looking around for reviews but didn't really come to a conclusion as the reviews are not very clear.

Budget for a new case: ~ £80
New build include and ATX motherboard, possibly an RTX GPU (if I manage to get one without having to sell a kidney )
Haven't decided about cooling but at this point it will probably be air cooling for the CPU

Ideally looking for a case with a temp glass side panel.

Thanks,
proxyc

Fractal Design Meshify or Phanteks P400A. A bit more expensive Lian Li Lancool II Mesh.
Make sure it's a proper airflow case. Solid front panel, no miracle, will limit you.
Bottom fan mounting space is desirable, as could help a lot your GPU.

Thanks for that. I will have that into consideration and try to find some reviews about them

Be quiet 500dx or phanteks p400a

The Be quiet model seemed to be really interesting, as well as the P400A mentioned here were the one that I've shortlisted, but they are both above my budget at the moment.

Was well surprised with the reviewed about the Fractal Design Meshify as well, really nice case

Thanks for your help guys.

What's the P400A like for dust? I have a Define S that lets litterally NO dust in at all thanks to it's filters.

I need to buy another case for my son, so interested if others are any better?

From what I could gather from the reviews it seems to have very decent filters to block the dust from coming in to the case. Have seen some review where was mentioned about the double thickness filters, but I not sure where I've seen it. Will post it here if I manage to find it
