Go to solution Solved by TheNuzziNuzz,

Thanks for the help guys! I ened up getting A Thermaltake Chaser. I did have some problems transfering parts from my prevous case, but that isn't thermaltakes fault. Anyway, everything worked out! Good luck to everyone who helped me!

Hello there Internet..or...whatever you are....

 

I have a sllightly modified Dell xps 8700. After I got the PC, I Installed and AMD Radeon R9 270X, and a samsung SSD. My PC still has the default factory dell case, and it does not have enough airflow to power my GPU, which at idle runs around 46 Degrees Celcius, and while I am playing games, can get hotter than 80.

 

So here is what I need for my case:

-Fans

-LEDs

-Alot of cooling

-Mouting for SSDs & HDDs

-Be Mostly Black

-mid ATX or higher, I have about 2 ft. for space below my desk to the carpet.

 

I am not that concerend with noise, but I do have another problem. My Desktop currently sits on the carpet floor collecting dust. When I get a new case, i need some way of lifting it off the floor...Does anyone have any ideas for this eaither?

 

Anyway, any help is apreciated, if you have any questions I will try to answer them asap!

Corsair 900D or Caselabs STH10 if you have a huge budget. Enthoo Pro otherwise. Actually you can't go wrong with any case in the Enthoo line that supports you mobo form factor.

Chuck a plank of wood under the feet of your PC. Plywood or MDF works best, mainly because it's the cheapest ;) will also help disperse the weight of the pc to reduce markings on the carpet.

As for cases, try a Corsair SPEC - 03. Reasonably priced and apparently pretty good. Ton of fans as well, and space to put LED strips, potentially below or above the window.

So, first of all, my budget is around 130 USD and below.

 

I really like the features in the NZXT Case TheRanomness mentioned above, but I like the plainness of the Enthoo Pro M and fractal design Define S, also mentioned above. Do any of you have an idea for the combination, and also, would any of you happen to know how I could setup LED's inside my pc.

 

And more on the LED thing, I already have a strip from comercial electric, and if I could just extend that to go into my pc, that would be evean more cool! Thanks for the help!
