Hi Guys..

 

Would like your suggestions to pick the right PC cabinet for my first gaming PC build.. please help. ?

 

I have shortlisted following models:


Cooler Master H500 (no suffix)
Phanteks p350x

 

PROS (IMO) - Cooler Master H500
- Tinted Tempered Glass
- Massive fans >> great air flow
- 2 RGB Fans
- Full Size Tempered Glass

 

CONS (IMO) Cooler Master H500
PSU shroud - its not full, what a bummer. (Does it look good?)

 

Things i don't like about Phanteks p350x
- Transparent Tempered Glass (not tinted)
- Comes with only 1 fan (so need to buy additional RGB fans)

- White Interior is not available in India

 

Note:  Both cost almost the same here in India.


So please suggest me to pick the right case.

If you would suggest based on looks... which one would you suggest?

 

Thanks

The H500 is a little bigger than the P350X.. It mostly comes down to personal preference. The H500 will probably be better for air cooling.. I've seen the H500 in person and it's a great looking case, it would probably be my choice..

Thanks for your reply :) Yes.. H500 is little bigger with better air flow.

Since both are good at air flow i might probably pick based on looks.

Based on looks.. which one would you pick? ?

H500 all the way. There are other cases I would consider over the P350X.. Those are like 2 different tastes all together.

Almost decided to go with this case.. how is this compared to Lian Li Lancool One Digital Case?

This case still feels the best in this budget.. what say?

It would be great if you mention other options as well.. thanks.

I like both but I would still pick the H500. I believe it has better cable management and possibly better airflow..

Hi !

 

IDK if you have chosen yet.

I don't know the other ones but I own a p350x with white insiude and ggosh it's definitely worth the price !

 

Just built a custom watercooling loop inside with coolant (opened a topic about it) and I'm so glad right now !

 

Again I don't know the other ones but I like this one so much, I think that if I had to do it again I'd take the same one.
