PC case with stringent requirements

[ThaChillera]

Hi guys,

 

I'm building a PC for my sister but we're stuck on the case selection. With future-proofing in mind, Im advocating getting a case with front USB-C ports. But getting an ATX case with that port AND no 'gamer' is turning out tough.

 

Our current choice is the Fractal Define R6 USB-C, but it's quite pricey and a bit bigger than unsuitable alternatives.

 

Can you point me in the right direction? Based in the netherlands fwiw.

 

Thanks

This one is less expensive and has a front USB C.  It's got glass panels, but no RGB so it might avoid the "gamer" look you seem to be trying to avoid.

Sorry I should've mentioned, we found a similar case, the NZXT H510, ourselves but it wasn't a viable candidate because of the glass sidepanel. Other than that it's smaller & still very minimal so a good choice.

 

So thanks for the effort, but the glass sidepanel is still a deal killer

Here's a list of cases with Type c connectors

As you can see, most of them have glass panels. The only two that done are the Phanteks P600S and the Fractal Design Define R6/S2
