Hey, first time on this category here, so please let me know if I did anything wrong.
So basically, I'm going off to college next semester, and I'd like to downsize my PC physically so I don't have to lug around a massive goddamn tower with me. It's a cooler master storm enforcer case, and back then, 13 year old me practically nutted to this "gamer-y" look.
In the past two years I've begun to regret this decision, not only because it looks disgusting to me now, and also it's huge and unwieldy.
ANYWAY, on to the point of this post. It's got an i7-4790k in it, and I feel no need to upgrade it any time soon, so I'd like to switch to a micro atx board to fit inside a smaller micro atx case.
My requirements for the case would be: windowed side panel, decent cable management, a minimum of three hard drive and 1 SSD slot, has front USB 3.0 ports (2 at least, more is cool!), and if it has at least 1 5.25'' external bay, that would be a huge bonus, but not required. I have this dope drawer in my case that I put a bunch of little tidbits I need to grab every now and then.
The motherboard would need to have 4 RAM slots, 4 or more SATAIII slots, an isolated or better than stock sound hardware chipset, USB 3.0, gigabit ethernet, and a debug led monitor would be extremely nice (since I have a Gigabyte z97x-Gaming 5 and I'm used to them for troubleshooting) along with an M.2 slot for the possible future. Not required, but if there are any USB C ports on it, I wouldn't be complaining.
I'm trying to keep costs under $200, I'm okay with looking at used hardware, but I'm willing to go above the limit if enticing options are shown. I know some of these requirements may be a little stringent, so I'd greatly appreciate your time. Thanks in advance!
