Oh Mr. Case Daddy, might I ask for your opinion on this case: https://www.rosewill.com/product/prism-s-white-steel-plastic-tempered-glass-atx-mid-tower-gaming-computer-case/? Friend wants to get it, to me it looks like airflow will be a solid meh, maybe worse than my Evolv ATX? Especially with air cooling and not rads. ?

    Layout is similar to the In Win 303 and Coolermaster SL600M, so pretty decent if not exceptional cooling for the GPU, but the CPU will suffer. Cant tell how well ventilated the Right side is (similar to the O11D) But the right side 240mm rad seems to be the only potentially decent cooling option for the CPU, which would probably limit you to only 2.5" SSD's with no 3.5" hard drive options....

    If your friend wants to go air, this is DEFINITELY not the case. Notably, the case can only hold a 240 rad on the side, so if they want to use a 280 or 360 rad, this case also would not work. You'd basically have to structure the build around the case, not choose the case around the build which is not how it should be.

    Oho thancc, I shall relay this to him ?. He's looking for a cool aesthetics case without the price tag of the Lian-Li O11.

    The O11, or the O11D? There's a big difference between the two! ?

    @TVwazhere He said O11 and it's a similar look to this case (taller, rads go in bottom or top), I'll see if he's looked at the O11D, they're much cheaper.

    Even the O11D XL, which is larger, would still be I think half that price.

     

    The O11 is expensive because it's mostly aluminium construction. And it wasnt a mass production case. At this point there's no reason not to recommend the D (heh) or, rather, theres no reason to get any other case other than the Lancool II (the upcoming mesh version) and maybe the 315 (also upcoming)
