(copying this off my reddit question in /r/pcmasterrace, since I never got even an upvote there).
I'm trying to find a small, silent PC case with front-panel USB-C, but can't seem to find a decent selection.
Requirements are, in rough order:
Front-panel USB-C (even if as an addon module). Top/side mounted works, too.
As much sound dampening as possible. I'm 0% interest in RGB and side windows for this build.
ATX-sized (tentatively for an AORUS Master)
Compatible with existing gear that i'm carrying over: H115i pro (2x140mm) rad, HX750i psu, RTX 2070.
Right now, I'm replacing a case that's about W190mm x H423mm x D485mm. So far, after a significant search, I've only found two possible options:
Fractal Design's Define R6 (it's an E-ATX case, so about a size too big from what I wanted): W233mm x H465mm x D543mm
Silverstone KL07, which I'm having trouble sourcing: W222mm x H510mm x D467mm
I'm looking at something like the Corsair 270R, 275Q, 330R (on the bigger side) or 400Q, and wishing Corsair would upgrade their lineup or sell usb-C upgrade kits. I was also wondering, should I just settle for a bay-mounted USB-C port? My initial thought on this is case with ODD bays might not be smaller than the other options I've already got.
Any good suggestions?
