PC Case Choice

Hi All 

 

Hope everyone is keeping safe 

 

My tempered glass side panel on my Phanteks enthoo pro m exploded in the night (Odd, I know) so this puts me in the market to buy a new pc case. 

 

Any recommendations? I have an ATX Motherboard and have a corsair h100i v2

 

I have a budget up to £150 

 

Many thanks 

George

Tempered glass explosions should be covered by warranty, since they do spontaneously burst. How old is your case?

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

It depends a bit on which size you are looking for, but personally I work quite a lot with and can recommend pretty much anything from Fractal Design (Define or Meshify series), be Quiet! (Silent Base 601 or 801 or even Dark Base 700 or NZXT (considering your AIO I would say H710 series), and the Lian-Li PC O11 Dynamic.

I'd still contact them directly. The very least they'll do is tell you you cant buy a new one, but likely at the least they'll offer you a replacement at cost (there's also a chance they'll send it to you for free just pay shipping)

I would suggest getting an Acrylic based case instead of tempered glass since it is less likely to be damaged by cracking. Something like an AeroCool Cylon RGB or Cooler Master MasterBox Q500L.

 

AeroCool Cylon RGB Mid Tower with Acrylic Side Window, Black

 

Cooler Master MasterBox Q500L Mid Tower w/ ATX MB Support, Magnetic Dust Filter, Transparent Acrylic Side Panel, Adjustable I/O & Fully Ventilated for Airflow

Hope this information post was helpful  ?,
