Im looking for a pc case (atx for the motherboard and preferably a midi tower or a fishtank like HYTE Y60) Im checking some brands and seeing prices and im wondering if smaller/lesser known brands are actually good PS: i am fairly new to the world of pc building/branding so my "lesser known" is basically stuff lesser known than cooler master,lian li,corsair and other BIG names If you know some good brands/models that arent as well known as the corsair 4000D airflow for example that are under 110 euros/117 usd pls share Preferably that can support an aio cooler as well

I used laptops ranging from budget to premium from Asus, HP, and Dell. I always noticed that the HP and Dell mid-range laptops have worse displays keyboard The HP keyboard is the weak point to me with the worst keystrokes I can compromise on other things like display and chassis quality. On Dell display is of mediocre quality I have seen so many laptops with white or black dots on the screen just after a few months in some cases flexing chassis trackpad sometimes stuck on click I used to recommend HP or Dell (mid-range laptops ) to people but now I recommend Asus compared to others it has a better keyboard and comes with fingerprint authentication, a metal chassis with less flexing while typing acceptable display, and a trackpad. It's my personal preference based on my experience -
Im not sure if this is the right section to ask this. I'm at my wits end, Gigabyte can't help me(big surprise) I've googled, ebay'd, aliexpress searched and I can't find anything. I have an Aorus c700(I know I'm a fanboy) I got this case on a great deal, and I stupidly snapped these pins off this pcb while removing the side panel, I see quite a few cases by other companies like Be Quiet!, use the same pcb to get RBG to front panels and side panels. Does anyone know anywhere where I can get this pcb? I really don't want to buy a whole new chassis. I can live without the side panel rgb it's no big deal, but if I can fix it I would like to. Thanks. (attaches pics for the one I broke and other cases that use the same one)

As the title says, I'm looking for a case to build a NAS in. Nothing fancy, I can't see me using more than 4 HDDs, so recommendations for something silly that will house 12 drives is fun but smaller is more what I'm gearing towards. If the case also had an option to install an old-school 5 1/4" drive too that would be interesting. Let's hear your recommendations (Apologies is this thread already exists, I didn't get any results searching NAS case in the forums)

Hey everyone, first time OP, long time reader... I'm upgrading my home furniture, getting a custom made rack and I'll be filling it out with some audio gear. I'd like to get a rack-mount case for my workstation and put it in there as well (currently rocking Be Quiet Dark Base PRO 900 v2). The problem I'm having is that in Europe, for some reason, I don't seem to be able to find a case that's aesthetically pleasing (it will be placed next to my desk, not in a server room). The only one I could find that I actually really liked was the INFINITUM II 4U Maximum Airflow from Steiger Dynamics - at $379, which would not be the problem, but the shipping quote was just astronomical - at around $1.7k. So I got in touch with SD, but they couldn't go lower than $440 for shipping. That's way too much to justify. I haven't been able to find anything else since, so I turn to you for help. My requirements for features are pretty much what you can see on the INFINITUM chassis. No extra drive bays. 360 AIO compatibility. Basic front IO - USB C Nice to look at on the front. Available in Europe or reasonably priced shipping to Europe. Looking forward for your suggestions.

im thinking of modding the bottom chassis of my laptop, is there a intrusion detection part on my board and if there is how would i disable it. also is there any other things i should be looking out for. thanks everyone -Atreyu -
I have been looking around for a short-depth 4U server chassis for a project, and one that I found very suitable was the Supermicro SuperChassis 842XTQ-R606B. However, it retails for around $800, which seems quite a lot for just a chassis. I get that it comes with two 600W 80Plus Platinum PSUs (say ~$300), but still it doesn't explain why the rest is worth $500. What's the difference between this chassis and one from e.g. iStarUSA that costs ~$150? Are there any cheaper but high-quality alternatives that you would recommend?
-
P.S. - IceGiant cooler would blow to the right side of the case - Nothing is absolute (ex: number of fans or their size is NOT mandatory) - Front panel is the most flexible (5.25 space is NOT mandatory either, PSU could very well be on the front-left side)

Hello, I have little problem. I bought MSI MPG Sekira 500G and Asus TUF GAMING X570-PLUS. On chassis there are 4 usb 3.2 and usb type c, however motherboard supports only 2 usb 3.2 and doesn't support type c at all. What i could do to solve this problem? Any expasnion cards, adapters? I would rather not exchange this motherboard because it matches my desired build but if you have something in similar colors and price range, I will consider it. Thanks for help!

I recently upgraded my computer from a 4770k to a Ryzen 3700x. I'm looking to replace the case with something more efficient for cooling the CPU. Ideal budget would be under $100 Canadian (around 75 USD at the time of writing). System is mostly used for Titan Quest: Ragnarok, multi-instancing BlueStacks, and otherwise typical home/office usage (YouTube, Twitch, email, Excel, etc).

I'll probably upgrade my main rig's graphics card with the 3080 release and trickle down the parts through the rest. I was thinking maybe on Black Friday upgrade my desk rig's cpu + mobo + ram, and with the leftovers build a PC for transport to carry with me when I go on holidays, or spending a weekend with my in-laws or such. This is a medium term plan, so I have no rush. Also don't want to spend much on it, although i don't have a budget thought yet. But I'd like to get some feedback on cases so I can start looking around and planing. I've seen some that look cool like the Corsair 380T, but seems discontinued. My requirements are simple: - Full size graphics card support (to put on of my 970's in it); - Inner support for transport (not to get my PCI slots ripped out with the GPU weight or anything); - study enough for transport (avoid stuff like broken side panels); - not being big in size; Nice to haves: - at least micro ATX support; - transport handles Thank you for any suggestion.

For a couple months now the chassis around the left hinge of my HP Envy ad017na has come apart. Recently it has also come apart under the trackpad. My laptop is out of warranty so is there any way to fix this myself or to pay HP to do it?

I have originally posted this question, but the title seemed to ve misleading.a lot of people. So I am currently looking for a new pc case to upgrade to. I would really like to have a lot of expandability and some spare room in the cases, so I would like to get the largest case possible, that has a modern look. Upon research, I found that the Corsair 1000d and the Thermaltake View 91 were the two cases that seemed to fit my purposes. I tried to compare the sizes of the two cases, but quickly found out that I couldn't do so accurately due to the presence of case feet on View 91 that is lacking on the 1000d. Obviously, the dimensions of the feet should not be counted towards the size of the chassis, but this is not the case foe the given dimensions on the Thermaltake site. If anyone happens to have the View 91 chassis, could they please measure and post the dimensions of the case excluding the feet? Thanks!

So I just added the last hard drive that my case can hold and I am looking to expand to a much larger amount of disk storage. I was looking at the 12 bay Rosewill server chassis however it looks like it is sold out everywhere. So I'm of the mindset that if I can get a 12 hot swap chassis for about $100 then if I'm spending 3 times the amount I better be getting something I'll never have to worry about again. Any thoughts on some other options? I run a full sized ATX board for my server along with a full sized gpu for encoding so I can't use any mATX or ITX cases. https://www.ebay.com/itm/4U-Supermicro-45-Bay-SAS2-JBOD-Storage-SC847E16-RJBOD-Expander-W-Rail-Kit/143569211512?_trkparms=aid%3D555021%26algo%3DPL.SIMRVI%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D225073%26meid%3D498c352e03c4406c86d0538729914e48%26pid%3D100752%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D16%26mehot%3Dco%26sd%3D133261932182%26itm%3D143569211512%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D2047675%26algv%3DSimplRVIAMLv5WebWithPLRVIOnTopCombiner&_trksid=p2047675.c100752.m1982 -
Hi guys, so i'm actually wondering how i should plug the case's front io ports to. I know that it is like at the bottom right of the motherboard, but how do which connector is for which? I remember some people saying that where the words on the front io ports wires face also matters, can someone help and give me a very specific one, better a picture as my brain cannot process to much of words. Thank you!

I'm helping a friend put together a parts list for a build he wants to do soon, and we have every part picked out, except for the case. His budget is pretty tight, and we need to get a case for $70 USD or under. His only real requirement is that he's able to see the fans through the front of the case, which is actually pretty hard to find in a cheap case. I would like to find something that's good for airflow, as well. Can anyone help me out with finding one? EDIT: Looking at our list again, it would actually be better if we could find a case for 60 or under, but we may be able to stretch it to 70.

Hi guys, i found a very nice looking case online but i don't know what the name is. I only got a picture of it. This was gotten on a youtube video from 0:13 - 0:21 or just the cover 'page' of the youtube video

Hi guys, I'm planning to build a gaming desktop with RGB lightings. I wish to have ARGB Case Fans and CPU cooler so it looks better. I actually created a pc part list which includes 8 argb fans in the chassis, i chose cooler master fans as the cooler master pwm and argb hub only is suitable for cooler master products. Does anyone knows of any good chassis which looks really dope (showoff)? It is okay if rgb fans are already installed inside, I will just replace all with ARGB Fans. I wish to get some suggestions from you guys about what chassis you think look dope in your opinion!! Thanks!

Here's my parts: Radeon rx 5700 xt 500 gb WD blue 8x2 3600 MHz ram msi b450 tomahawk max ryzen 5 3600 Thermaltake Smart RGB 600W PSU SPR-0600NHSAW I have a minor selection of PC cases to choose from. Which of these are compatible with my build, which have good thermals and which are good for a first time builder? Please don't redirect me to a tier list or something, because these are the only options I have where I live(that aren't randomass companies like reddragon or raidmax). Here's all my options: Thermaltake Versa N26 Mid Tower Cooler Master Masterbox MB501L Gigabyte C200G ATX Mid Tower Corsair Carbide Spec 04 Mid Tower ATX Thermaltake V200 TG Versa RGB Cooler Master MasterBox NR600 Thermaltake Versa J24 Tempered Glass RGB Edition Thermaltake J25 TG Versa RGB Thermaltake H200 TG RGB Cooler Master Masterbox MB500 Cooler Master Masterbox MB511 RGB Cooler Master Masterbox MB520 Corsair Carbide Spec Delta Mid Tower ATX Thermaltake Level 20 MT Argb Corsair Carbide 275R Mid Tower ATX Gigabyte AC300W ATX Mid Tower Corsair Carbide 275R White Mid Tower ATX Thermaltake Commander C35 TG Argb Thermaltake Commander C32 TG Argb Corsair Carbide Spec 05 Mid Tower ATX Thermaltake H550 TG ARGB Bonus list (These are cases out of my budget, but let me know if anything here is worth the moola) Thermaltake View 71 Tempered Glass Edition Cooler Master Mastercase H500 Mesh Corsair 570X Crystal RGB ATX Mid Towe The further down the list you go, the more expensive it gets. There's more cases, but these are the ones that have brand names I recognize. If raidmax and redragon make good quality cases do let me know so I can add them to the list. Also sorry for the long list, it's just that I'm a bit overwhelmed right now. This is my first time building a PC. For the most part, I don't care too much about looks, I see them as a bonus. I would love some help on deciding the best case: The case with the best airflow, compatible with my parts, good for cable management, good for a first time builder, has good dust collection etc. Whatever makes a case I good. I know this is a lot, but I would appreciate any help I get. Thank you. -

Hey everyone, I want to know if it is possible to display around 20-ish computer cases and have all their fans and front pannel LED's and RGB if applicable turned on for display purposes. Take note I am not building any pc's in any of them, it is simply for showcasing purposes only. I want to know if there is some sort of product I can purchase that I can feed with a single PSU and be able to plug all the cases fans and front pannel to, or if there is another method I am open to everything. I have no idea where to start from so any tips will be greatly useful to me. Thanks in advance! -
Hi guys! I have this motherboard https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/TUF-B450-PLUS-GAMING/HelpDesk_Download/ and I’m using 4 PWM fans, 3 from Corsair and one from Noctua. The mobo has 3 chassis fan headers a one AIO pump header which seems to be PWM as well. I decided to connect one of tha chassis fans in AIO pump header, it is working and allowing to adjust its speed as any other fan, but since I dis that, the boot is taking longer than usual, my guess is the mobo is trying to “talk” to the fan as an AIO PUMP but is not receiving all the info and hangs a bit during boot time. Am I risking damaging anything doing it like this? Would be better to get a splitter? Or there is any BIOS settings (which I may not be familiar with) that would prevent that delay or hang during boot? thanks

Hi all, I currently run a hybrid cooling system with a micro-ATX board inside an older Lian Li PC-V350B. But recently when upgrading, I find the case to be rather cramped. I got the case because of its form factor and 5.25 inch bays. But now I'm thinking of moving back to small tower cases, especially because it makes upgrades more convenient. Plus, I have 5 RGB fans, 2 of which I had to give up when moving my tech into the Lian Li. I have shortlisted a few cases, but I'm somewhat divided. What would y'all pick? 1) Tecware Nova M3 - SGD 58 2) Tecware Nexus M - SGD 49 3) Tecware Vega - SGD 89 4) Cooler Master NR400 - SGD 78 5) Apevia XpackQ3 - around SGD 70 without shipping 6) Aigo Darkflash DLM21 about SGD 55 7) Aigo Darkflash DLM22 about SGD 55 ? Tecware Quad - SGD 55 9) Gamemax H605 - SGD 55 Prices are the best ones I could find around. Also, does anyone have experience with the Aigo cases? How is their cooling like?
