I am thinking about upgrading my case for something quieter. I currently have a Corsair Carbide Spec 02 which is nice, but its time for an upgrade. My budget for this is the $60-100 range. I have been looking at the P400s and the define S because they are both cases that are marketed as quiet, but also have a window. While I know a window certainly doesn't help silence anything, I would like a case that has both as components are pretty and nice to look at. I will eventually be adding an AIO water cooler(likely 280mm), but from my understanding this is not a problem in either case (front mount on p400s). While I do recognize that the Define S is favored to this point, I have fallen in love with the idea of the leds on the P400S. This is not absolute though, and if the Define S is drastically quieter than the P400s, then my decision will have been made. If you have other suggestions within my budget, I would appreciate them.
In short, I am looking for a case that must...
have a window
be quiet
cost under 100USD
support radiators up to 280mm
In order of importance to me, here are the factors I am taking into consideration.
1. Quietness
2. Budget
3. Level of turnip
4. Appearance
5. Cable Management
I don't think that it is really necessary, but my parts list is linked here.
*I really don't care about the ODD and do not mind excluding it from the system if the case does not have a 5.25" bay.
thanks for the help
