PC Case recommendation

NoccoAddict

Hi,

 

I recently built my first PC with this case: https://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-Translucent-Computer-Chassis-CA-1D9-00M6WN-00/dp/B019ORHGSI/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1534427223&sr=8-3&keywords=thermaltake+versa+n21

But after 3 weeks of using it I just cant stand it anymore, the outside is starting to look really cheap painted, everything is flimsy, you cant really do any cable management, its a 100% fingerprint magnet and the airflow is so bad in the case.

I have looked a bit around for cases(as i live in a remote location there is a limited 'availability' here. This case immediatly catched my eye as of the huge side panel and included rgb fans for not too much: https://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-MasterBox-Mid-Tower-MCY-B5P2-KWGN-01/dp/B075N132C7/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1534427353&sr=1-1&keywords=MasterBox+5+Pro+rgb .

 

So my question to all fellow case experts here is, is that case worth the 100 bucks?(ill actually have to pay $70 more in my country, thats why im asking.) or do you have any other case recommendations?

 

Thanks in advance! :D

The case is not worth $100. What is your location and the rest of your computer build? That case has particularly bad airflow, and it would be ideal to get something with some amount of airflow for your system

If you dont mind taking the front panel off then the Masterbox 5's airflow is fine, but it doesnt seem (on pictures anyway) to have air filters to be careful, dont put anything near those spinning fan blades. $100 is also quite a lot for a case without special features, but I guess in your country, that's as good as it will be without spending more.

The Corsair Carbide is pretty good. I would get an extra fan or two to put at the front, but other than that you should be good.

Does this website only sell CoolerMaster cases?

Yeah ill probably go with that, it looks pretty nice tbh. I hope its worth the $101 lmao. Fans shouldnt be a problem, i got 6 fans in my current case(only way to achieve moderate airflow lol)

 

Coolermaster and Corsair, i think they have some import deal with them. Only company in Iceland that sells cases from them
