Case Suggestions Anyone?

Hello All, 

 

I am currently rocking a NZXT Source 530 and in the future once all of my components have been upgraded I would like to look into getting a new case.

 

I have taken a brief look around on Amazon, Scan and the likes but can't seem to find anything that particularly fits the things I am looking for. 

 

I would like to know if anyone has any hidden gems that fit my criteria which I have listed below:

 

Must Haves: 

 

- Tempered Glass Side Panel

- Metal Chassis (Not a Fan of Plastic cases)

- Mid/Full tower to fit an ATX Board

- Room for a 240mm AIO Rad - Preferably Top Mounted

- Can fit a Gigabyte RTX2070 Super with Tri-Fan cooling.

 

Would be nice but not crucial:

 

- Black/Red Colour Scheme

- Known Brand like NZXT (I really like their cases)

- Has at least two places for a 120mm rad to be mounted (In case I wish to cool the GPU in the future)

 

If it is of any assistance I have left my specs below: 

PC Specifications

Case: NZXT - Source 530
Motherboard: ROG Z390-H Strix Gaming
CPU: Intel - Core i5-9600k 3.7ghz
RAM: G.Skill - Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory
GPU: Gigabyte - GeForce GTX 1060 3GB Windforce OC Video Card (Soon to be a 2070 Super)
CPU Cooler: Corsair H100x AIO Water Cooler with Corsair SP120 120mm x2
Case Fans: Corsair AF120 120mm Fans x2, Corsair SP120 120mm x2
Power Supply: Corsair - Builder 600W
HDD: Western Digital - Caviar Blue 1TB
SSD: Samsung 860 QVO 1TB SSD
Operating System: Windows - 10 64bit

 

Thanks for your help!

I guess you could buy the fractal design enthoo, or most cougar cases, but in red/black, they are pretty pricey. There is the mastercase sl600m, of course the Lian li o11 dynamic, and the ROG helios.

Laptop: HP Spectre x360 13t, i7 8565u with 16 gigs, 512 gig  nvme ssd, UHD 620 4k

Other laptop: Acer Chromebook cb3 431 with 4 gigs, celeron n3060 with hd 400 and 16 gigs eMMC soon to be a minecraft server?

The Phanteks Eclipse P400 is a good option. They have a black and red one that looks really cool. It has a tempered glass panel, metal chassis, and will fit your GPU just fine. To my knowledge it should also fit a 120 mm radiator, but you might want to double check that yourself.

 

Here's the link to it on newegg: https://www.newegg.com/black-red-phanteks-eclipse-p400-atx-mid-tower/p/N82E16811854048?Description=phanteks eclipse p400&cm_re=phanteks_eclipse_p400-_-11-854-048-_-Product&quicklink=true

I mostly speak from my own past experience from similar problems. My solution may not work for you, but I'll always try my best to help as much as I can. If you want me to see your reply, make sure to quote my comment or mention me @WaggishOhio383, and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

If your budget is infinite, then you could get the inwin 925, z tower, 909, 915, d frame, h frame, h tower, tou 2.0, or the 905.

I would recommend a Phanteks Eclipse P400 Red Edition that has a tempered glass side panel which is tinted, a metal construction, PSU cover, dust filters, RGB power light and an included Phanteks RGB LED stip included, plus support for a 120mm AIO radiator.

 

Link to manufacturer's product page for Phanteks Eclipse P400 Red Edition:        http://www.phanteks.com/Eclipse-P400-TemperedGlass.html

 

Link to Phanteks Eclipse P400 Red Edition on Newegg:        https://www.newegg.com/black-red-phanteks-eclipse-p400-atx-mid-tower/p/N82E16811854048?Item=N82E16811854048&nm_mc=AFC-RAN-COM&cm_mmc=AFC-RAN-COM&utm_medium=affiliates&utm_source=afc-PCPartPicker&AFFID=2558510&AFFNAME=PCPartPicker&ACRID=1&ASID=https%3a%2f%2fpcpartpicker.com%2fproduct%2fH6L7YJ%2fphanteks-eclipse-p400-tempered-glass-atx-mid-tower-case-ph-ec416ptg_br&ranMID=44583&ranEAID=2558510&ranSiteID=8BacdVP0GFs-fYKGngkrnvgdxQLmpstIGw

 

* You could also get an NZXT H510 with red/black color scheme, although I think that the Phanteks Eclipse P400 would be a better choice.

Hope this information post was helpful  ?,

For some reason I didn't see that on my initial search but it meets all the boxes. Probably passed over it as the initial images look like it has no upper ventilation, or I got it confused with the H510 which only has upper cooling for a 120mm Rad.

 

Prior to what I originally put I meant 240mm Rad not 120mm.

it relies on the holes between the side panel and top/front panel to let out air.
