I've looked into some cases for my new build and the case I was thinking of first I've been told is pretty bad for cooling.
The original case I looked into was the BitFenix Shinobi XL.
The other 2 cases that caught my eye while browsing the forum have been the Phanteks Enthoo Pro M Midi Tower and the Fractal Design Define R5 Midi Tower.
I like the Shinobi XL case due to the size and stuff you can get inside it, and that the USB ports are on the top of the case instead of front.
Phanteks case is pretty good too and contains all I want too but I'm not too sure about the USB on the side (but it might work out well)
The Fractal Design case is looking good too and can contain just as much stuff as the other 2 cases.
I do like pretty basic cases without too much fussy stuff so they all three fit pretty well there. All three cases will fit my CPU cooler (Alpenfohn Matterhorn)
They all can also obtain an optical drive (going to use a bluray player there)
I'm going to run a Skylake i7-6700K with MSI motherboard in the case and what I get from the forum is the best cooling option is to use a couple of extra 140mm fans (1 in front blowing in air and 1 in top to exhaust it)
Soooooo, I want you people to sell me these cases
Which one would you recommend?
At the moment it is a tie between R5 and Enthoo, R5 due to I like the very simple looks, Enthoo due to the good price (£60).
