Looking for a Case

Androxios
Go to solution Solved by Zusafek,

The Phanteks P400a is a really nice case. I use the older P400s and the P400TG versions with the solid front panel. But you just ordered the front mesh panels to improve airflow...which is standard on the P400a. It's built well, has great airflow with the new panel, easy to build in, and is not going to break the bank. Plus I happen to like how it looks. 

This is my build:

These are what I've been looking at:

I've needed help on which case I should buy and I can't decide aesthetically, so I wanted to go out here and ask which is better to build in or has better airflow, etc. Pros and Cons of each case. Price range: 70$ - 100$ US.

What are you using your PC for?

This is just a more cost optimized version basically.

Maybe look at the coolermaster NR 400, or NR 600, or the H500 Mesh

 

Otherwise just get a Lian Li 011 Dynamic.

 

you mostly want a mesh front/side for good cooling, looks like all of those are pretty sealed up.

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?
