Looking for a case

plnk

Hello

 

it was probably asked like a thousand times, but still... I'm looking for a specific case. :)

 

Something like Fractal Design R4* with an HDD LED and ports in the front (not on top) in the same price range.

 

I was looking at Antec P100, but someone discouraged me getting this case, as it's a rip-off from some Corsair case.

 

*so: silent, can fit Corsair H100i, great airflow, cable management, 2xUSB 2.0 and 2xUSB 3.0, black and minimalistic

It mighten really be what your looking for, but the ports are on the front, it's the Corsair Carbide Air 540. I am considering purchasing this case myself, and i believe it is a fantastic case and good for watercooling, and has great airflow, and available in black.

The Define R4 is an awesome case, why won't you get it?

Because the ports are in the top and it is missing a LED? Lulz

Yeah, I like my ports in the front (way less dust getting in there!) and an LED blinking when the hard drive is in use. :)

Well, you can get an optional I/O front panel for a few bucks.. the one that comes to mind is the one I'm planning to buy, it's in my sig down below and it's easily the most expensive one, but there are tons of others that will perfectly suit your needs. If you don't like having the power button covered by the front door you can connect the case power button on the top and the rest of the buttons on the front I/O, they're all separate connectors so you can customize them as you want.

 

Also, I don't think there are many other options.. If you want a silent case you've gotta make do with having a front door, which offers a sheet of sound dampening foam on the inside and permits to keep down the front fans' noise.. and for many reasons case manufacturers tend not to put a front I/O next to a front door. Your choice, man. :)
