Stuck on a dead end.

sponkaa

I´ve been choosing a case for my build for a few days now and I still can´t pick the right one. There arent any issues about the fitting of my GPU or anything like that, It´s just about the looks and the price/performance ratio.

 

I have succesfully narrowed my selection though.

 

1. Cooler Master MB520 RGB

+ 4 Fans icluded

+ RGB

- Bulkier look (imo)

 

2. Corsair Carbite SPEC-DELTA

+ Same as the MB520

- Same as the MB520

 

3. Phanteks P400A

+ Clean look

+ Great airflow

- Only 2 fans icluded (less baang for buck)

- No RGB (clean look)

 

4. Corsair Carbide 275R

+ Clean look

- Same as the P400A

 

Which would you pick? Thanks in advance :D

Define c would be my first choice the p400a my second. Fans are cheap so don't worry about those too much.

Just realized that thats the price for the non-TG version. So I´ll probably get the P400A with 1 fan extra

I am looking to buy the P400A from Phanteks. As you all know it has a fine mesh gril without a dust cover (If I´m not mistaken). Will this case intake more dust than other cases?

 

Thanks in advance :D

Looks like you're having trouble choosing a case. That is fine, however please refrain from making multiple topics about choosing a case, this is your third in only three days.

I think its impossible to 100% dust proof most cases.  You could add an additional dust filter behind the front panel, but then you really start restricting flow.  I use a meshify c currently and that has a pretty fine mesh on front, I still have to dust inside regularly.
