i need some case recomendations

[LamoidZombieDog]

im looking for an ATX Case. It Must have a Left Side Tempered Glass Window, Cost less then 500$ USD on amazon, Must have USB 3.0, would really like USB C as well but not required, and would also prefer all ports be usb 3.0 none 2.0, And preferbly not cooler master, as my current case sucks and after having very bad experiences with them, i dont want their products.

Hello,

 

You have the Fractal Design S6/C, Vision, Vector or Meshify S2/C with a better airflow (they are basically the same apart the front panel).

From Phanteks you have the P600S or P400A.

i cant find anything with S6/C, do you mean R6?

Also while the Style of Fractal is interesting, it just doesnt seem to be for me. im looking for one of those really large crazy looking cases. kind of like how my current cooler master HAF X (which i hate) is large with 6 5.25" Bays and 6 Hard drive bays.

Yes my bad it's the Define R6 or S2. Define C is the same but smaller.

If you want bigger I can think of the Enthoo 719 and the Enthoo Luxe II should be out in some days, it's the same as the 719 but with a mesh front panel. But they come without fans so you need to buy them seperatly.

 

Otherwise you have the Corsair 1000D which is very huge.

I can definitely recommend Fractal design but if you dont like their style then there are alternatives.

 

What type of cooling have you planned on using for your CPU ?

Aircooler, AIO, Custom waterloop ?

 

I have had the Lian Li 011 Dynamic for about 1 year it was great to build in and it looks great with good airflow.

In the fron I/O you have 1x USB-C + 2x USB 3,0

The only problem with this case is that you can't fit a big aircooler like Noctua NH-D15 or Be Quiet DRP4.

i actually just looked at the Corsair Obsidian Series 1000D, and it is just to long to fit on my desk in the new spot the PC will be in of course. 

the other cases do look interesting.

Im looking to go AIO. for the past year ive been running off a way to small Be Quiet! Air cooler and its making my CPU way to hot.

 

Ive seen the dynamic Lian Li ones a lot, i know they have the Razer version, which i like specifically because its easy to control the LEDs, but would rather not have the razer logo right into the glass. while its not at the top of my list, im defidently interested in it.

Also something i forgot to mention, Having a Vertical GPU Mount would be pretty cool. but not required.

Phanteks P600S has all you want then

i really wish it had a glass front, to do some sort of fancy LED system with the fans, but this is a nice case, and i will look into it more in the morning. Thanks

Yes it's this one, you can remove the little panel and can see the LED from it, not as good as a glass front though indeed.

Another suggestion is Corsair Obsidian 500D

 

Also for the Lian Li 011 Dynamic as I mentioned earlier.

In my case I have a vertical GPU mount from cooler master.

There is still room so you can fit intake fans in the bottom with this GPU mount installed.

Ive Still been looking at the Darkflash Phantom Black, as it looks great in my opinion, but ive had people say it has bad Airflow

What about the Corsair Obsidian 750D (or the "Airflow Edition")? Less over the top than the 1000D but still spacious.

Im king of looking for something like the 1000D, with an all glass design, which this unfortunately does not have.

That's because they didnt space out the glass in the front far enough to allow a good amount of air into the case.

What about the Thermaltake View 71 TG ?

to be honest, this has just about everything i want. i might have to go with this.

Well it certainly ticks a lot of boxes of your initial post. And it looks kind of nice, at least if you're into the tempered glass thing. I wanted to go with a tempered glass case too until I realized that they are too heavy for me. 3 to 4 times a year I take my PC to a friends place to play games and I simply don't feel like lifting a PC of which the empty case alone weighs 18 kg.

Why is there like 10 models of the same case in the Amazon link though? Some are over 100$ more but only appear to just have one extra fan pre installed. I will get this case, just wondering which version to get

Is there any chance to mod this yourself at home? Add some rubber washers or something like that.

Yeah you could. But the case @oeci sent here I like way better now.

Fair enough so get that Thermaltake case

I just need to figure out why there is 8 different models with huge price differences but it seems they only have like one extra fan or one less fan. It's hard to tell from a phone, I'll have to get to my PC and checj
