  1. The last week or so my PC will lock up while gaming, it doesn't seem to matter which game I player. I cant find any faults in my software, and everything is up to date. No overheating either. What usually happens is the everything im doing will freeze but sound will play and i can move my mouse then a minute later the sound goes out and then another minutes goes by and all the RGB on my PC goes default colors, RAM, Fans, Light strips, the motherboard. I can't for the life of me determine what the issue is it's not even a very old PC. Ryzen 5 1600 gtx 1080 16 GB TRIDENT RGB I use both SSDs and a high capacity HDD
  2. I like the exterior but corsairs cases leave a lot to be desired internally.
  3. Are there any cases with a see through front but don't have cheap interiors? I like the design of the view cases by thermaltake and also the masterbox by CM but none have full psu shrouds and many don't have rubber grometed holes. The Enthoo pro m is the only one i could find so far but I want too see if there are options
  4. Ah I remember reading somewhere the front intake had a built in filter on the mesh but not on the side slits. Thanks
  5. You know I hadn't thought of using a regular HDD cage to mount my hue I forgot they work with regular SSD's which makes me reconsider a few cases. I looked at the pro m my only hesitation with it is the lack of actual dust protection. Dust is a big problem where I live
  6. There are just too many different cases and all of them seem to have some compromise somewhere is pretty annoying and I kinda wish I bought corsairs lighting node since it's so much easier to manage the cables and hide it
  7. Yeah I know it's a rant lol It's took all that just to know what all I wanted Under 200 Anything neutral like black, white, grey that would work with any color scheme I have decided to not be picky on size as going small didn't work too many compromises Right now I have 1 280mm aio that I want to top mount so intake isn't restricted eventually I will want to have 2 radiators for a custom loop Tempered glass yes I want it to be a decoration as much as anything. Rubber grommets are essential to me I really hated the cable bar on my s340 and removeable drive cages as I have many cables and I only ever keep one HDD and I will find a place for it on the floor. Also SSD trays on the shroud if possible specifically for the lighting kit nzxt didn't make this thing easily hideable like corsair did.
  8. Also I totally understand if this is just too long for anybody I mostly rambled.
  9. This is going to be long I apologize but I am partially venting. So I originally bought the s340 elite and it functionally worked but I am being picky. I didn't like that I couldn't topmount my x62 kraken and that I couldn't remove the HDD cage for easier cable storage as I am also using the Hue+ kit and I can always just velcro my HDD to the floor without issue. The boxy look also bored me after awhile so then came the meshify C my current case. I Really like the front panel I am a fan of angles when done right and it had those features I mentioned. Well I did not realize just how small this case was and how annoying the hue+ is without SSD mounts on the shroud I can't even use my LED strips because there nowhere to hide them and they look bad exposed. Also turned out I couldn't fit a 280mm radiator on the top and eventually I would like to do a custom watercooling setup. Then I saw the CM mastercase maker 5. Internally it seemed perfect with the ability to remove all the cages and even had gpu rubber gromets on the shroud and an extended roof for radiator support but it was acrylic then I saw the tempered glass version but the psu area was exposed andn they force you to have red color while adding a handle I don't need. I realized cooler master is wildly inconsistent in their case designs it feels like you can only get a nice exterior or a nice interior but one will always suffer to the other. I looked into the phanteks enthoo evolv but I knew the lack of proper ventilation would irritate me. I've searched all the other cases on sites like newegg now i'm sitting here and can't seem to find that one case that has it all and I am ultimately disappointed in my current PC. I feel like there has to be something out there that also won't cost a fortune like Lian Li and CaseLabs. I will look at any recommendations and is anyone else having my problem? I think I am a crazy person.
