Hi LTT forum

 

Newly joined. I'm sorry if I post this in the wrong section.

 

I'm looking for a smallest white mATX case with best airflow and air filters, must have ODD, PSU shroud, and tempered glass, support full length GPU.

 

I checked on Thermaltake Versa H15 and it looks like have some of my criteria but I want more than that. If there's a case that looks like the Thermaltake Versa H15 or close to it with more features like I mentioned above with white coat, what is it? Please recommend me

 

Thankyou!

You're asking a lot of a modern MATX enclosure. Very few white cases exist, period, and very few made in the past 2 or 3 years have ODD bays.

 

And this should probably go in the Cases section.

Brands I wholeheartedly reccomend (though do have flawed products): Apple, Razer, Corsair, Asus, Gigabyte, bequiet!, Noctua, Fractal, GSkill (RAM only)

Did I ask too much for it?

I planned to put a 240mm AIO and a full sized GPU

Please be more specific and list the all of the system specs. Use model names.

Nope.

I will use it for the upcoming new Ryzen CPU, and if it's worth the GPU also. The case will be the tie point, what's inside will follow the case specs, but I'm going to AIO and full sized GPU, those I think are the most restrictive components to determine the case.

 

I want white and ODD

 

Budget for the case is US$100 max.

Yeah, you won't get everything for $100, and you definitely won't get "the best" case for $100 

Want to custom loop?  Ask me more if you are curious

Ok, lets cut the requirements to an mATX case which compact and have ODD and white, not to forget cable grommets. No PSU shroud is Ok. Anything about it you can think of?

In Win 301. Have white version but i think the air flow is terrible and no ODD.

 

The new CM silencio S400 and NR400 (Mesh front) both model have ODD version but no color white.

 

Fractal Design  Focus G Mini. Mesh front, support 2 ODD but no white.

 

Meshify C Mini. Mesh front no ODD and white.

 

Define Mini TG. 

 

All 3 FD case the ATX version have white color

Do you know if the Versa H15 has front air filter?

I might get the Versa H15 or CM NR400, and just paint it white but I'm not good at painting stuff

 

But if I use the ODD bay on both case I cant utilize the top vents for 240mm AIO

This one is really tempting. Looks so nice. I might drop the need of the ODD.

 

How to work the airflow on this one to get nice cooling with 240mm aio?

The front airflow is pretty restricted, but I'd probably put the AIO there. Definitely install bottom fans as intake for the GPU

And carefull for the GPU length, mounting the AIO in front take up some space.
