Hello, everybody!
I am new to this community and this is my first post. First of all, I'll have to excuse myself for my english as it is not my native language.
I have some questions about this case and also about PC cases in general. I'll be happy if you are willing to answer some or all of them.
I am planning on upgrading my PC and this is the case that caught my eye. I have found some positive reviews but some of them mentioned that the side windowed panel scratches very easily. Can someone who owns this case confirm this? Are scratches inevitable in the long run even if you are really careful. I also want to know about the durability of the matte black finish on the rest of the case. The second concern I have with the case are the two 3.5" inch mounts for HDD in the basement area. I've read somewhere that the mounts are not isolated and this could result in vibration and noise. Given the fact i use 3.5" WD HDD, this could be a problem.
The last thing i want to ask about this case is about the air cooling. As far as I know, the case comes with one fan on the back and one on the top. There are 2 slots on the front but no fans there.Now, if you are going to go with only two fans on a case, isn't "one on the front (for intake) and one on the back (for exhaust)" configuration the best?. I know i can just take the one on the top and put in on the front but I have watched so many reviews on this case and no one mentioned that the stock positioning of the fans is not optimal, so I was wondering if I am missing something?
If you think that my worries about this case are valid what other case would you recommend to me? The reason i chose this case is not only the fact i have Razer peripherals, but I enjoy simplistic and clean design. So even if i have to switch to other case option, I would still want something with similar design. My budget for case is no more then $100. Do all cases under $100 with windowed side panel scratch easily?
I really tried to find an answer to all of my questions on my own, but i didn't find satisfying one
Thanks in advance and cheers!
