Case?

Planning to buy a case in the next 2 weeks.

I currently have my eye on the Corsair 750D because of it's space, amount of 3.5/2.5 drives you can put in the case, 5.25 drive bays, cable management space and amount of fan mounts for airflow. 

I'm also considering the 450D, H440(horrible airflow though), C70, or Noctius 450(basically H440 without silent stuff).

I don't like the Phanteks Enthoo Pro so i'm not considering that case at all.

I have a 750d and it is pretty good. Beware of the fact that the side panel (without window) scratches easily and visibly and the acrylic window feels quite flimsy.

If you plan on showing off the insides of your computer, get the h440.

Same as the Enthoo Pro, heard that it has horrible build quality anyway.

I do like the magnetic dust filter on the top, real easy to clean.

750D
or 760T if you want an awesome side panel window at the expense of rigidity

but as long as youre not moving your PC around it should not be an issue at all

As someone who wanted to get the 750D and its brother case's, but went with the Noctis 450, I can say it was a good choice, my computer is silent other than my h100i, has room for 3 radiatiors (or tons of fans), 2 ssd mounting points, drive bays all the way up since there are no media bays, and they load in from the side, with lots of places to hide cords, and lots of places to easily get them to where they need to be while still looking nice and being made of strong materials.

 

Go for which ever suits you best, but what are the limits and needs:

What is your maximum price.

How many hard drives, etc.

And do you plan on putting in there, do you plan on water cooling the entire thing. Fill us in a little more on these things

 

P.S. The case has 2 magnetic dust filters

Price? Probably 150 USD, i currently have 3 drives but planning to add more in future.

I currently have no plans WC my system at all, maybe buy a AiO in the future but not complete sure.

Yeah I used to have one and sold it a while ago

I didn't like how empty the case looked without a full loop

I couldn't afford a full loop at the time either

 

Now with the S340 Ive got something much more portable

Its really difficult to cable manage but the main compartment looks really clean :)

 

EDIT-cable managing is a nightmare :P

I currently have 2 drives but the Noctis can fit like 8 drives or more, I don't remember, but it fits my h100i and has room to fit 4 of them and is 150 bucks, plus looks nice and comes with lots of fans and one big one in the back with 2 magnetic dust filters and an area to hide a radiator in the top or put 4 or 2 more fans on the top and bottom.

Thing is, no 5.25 drive bays on the Noctis...:/
