case with good air flow

[B0T_Alan]

hey i need a case with good air flow and im looking at this one:

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16811553054

 

and i don't have any idea what im doing so plz help

[SpaceGhostC2C]

It would work.

Looks alright as a budget case from this review: https://youtu.be/iUIl2bJVU40 

 

Also seems to be out of stock though, I'm not from the US so no idea how fast newegg restocks.

 

Another good option is the Fractal Meshify C, or the one I am using Cooler Master NR600. Both have a mesh front so they have great airflow and they are affordable.

Thermals look okay although not decent for an airflow case.

 

Have you considered the Phanteks p400a? It's around $15 more and was given case of the year by Gamers Nexus who focuses on thermals. I have it and love it. Only niggly bit is no top radiator support and beefy air coolers like the dark rock pro 4/nh-d15 will be a tight fit.

Hey can y’all provide some links cause I can’t find any that are in stock or just not their

 

Also I found this which I think it works but I really can't tell:

Fantastic air flow and very nice to build in. As long as you dont need that 5 1/4 drive bay this is what I would do, in fact its what I did earlier this week and it was great to set up

Depends on what system you're trying to build, but the answer is "likely", especially if you're trying to match the P400A or MB511 RGB levels of airflow which come with three fans by default.

 

@Tristerin has bought a number of these cases (I think one was the acrylic version and one was the solid side panel with fan mount) and he whole heatedly vouches for them. The only difference with the G-Air is it comes with the fans. 

 

All of the above cases are good suggestions, it's just a matter of "Do you want to buy your own fans or not?" most included fans are decent enough for airflow purposes but  might require tuning in the BIOS if you think they're too loud.

This Cougar line up of cases is amazing when in the $40-44 price range shipped (airflow and features).  That's what I would call a tad bit expensive for 2 more fans with LED lights.  Right now on Newegg they are outside their price range for features (just checked the prices on the link you put for the diff models) as they have some great features, and lack others.   I have a review on this forum about the X series specifically - love the case, would buy again.

Holy crap I just saw the prices for the rest of the MX330's. There must be a really short supply!

I think a lot of people are spending money on entertainment in this tenuous time and manufacturers are either conflating prices to take advantage or stock is truly low (I think its the latter)

All 120mm mounts on those cases unless you get the side panel intake variant - which can take up to a 200mm fan (I have a 140mm ran because my radiator at rear exhaust + fan is to thicc and takes up some of the mount space for the 200mm fan) on the side

thank you and would this psu fit cause i can't tell for the life of me

(cause it the one i have)

[Tristerin]

It should fit as I have a standard ATX PSU in and room to spare (not at home at the moment to give you measurements), but that...that outside the PSU box fan...

 

@LukeSavenije have you seen this PSU before?

yeah... it won't

 

Antec at the time used a different formfactor (CPX), which is only compatible with a couple antec cases from what I can see.

 

and with that said, the psu is now around 12 years old... it's good to start thinking about a new one

[Ravendarat]

I added more fans to my Meshify C but I did that because I had them already. If you already have fans from your last build I would add one more to the front and call it good. But thats based on you having a standard system, if you are running high end gear or big OC then more cooling might be needed
