Hi,

 

At the moment i have my rig inside a Cooler master HAF 912. And i really want to get a case with a side panel window, so i can put some LEDs inside my case and improve the look. Also i would like to get a new case with dust filters because 912 doesn't have them, And i am just wondering is it worth it and if so what cases do you guys recommend.

 

Thanks :)

I use aftermarket dust filters. Demciflex magnetic fan filters. Accept no substitutes.

The Corsair 650D is quite nice. I wish they would make a 550D with a window... that would be nice.

 

The Corsair C70 is pretty cool if you like the whole military-theme. Has dust filters and is super easy to build in.

Do you have a budget? If you don't I would go for something like the Arc Midi R2 or 750D. If you want something more flashy and cheap go for something like a Corsair 230T.

I have a budget of around $250 NZD.

+1 on the C70. Has lots of fan mounts and cable management is very easy.
