Need a case

[Guest]

TL;DR

3 HDD, 1 SSD, ATX motherboard, full size GPU. Need case. Dusty room, need USB ports on front.

 

Long:
I have an aluminum "Original Antec Lanboy" as seen in Linus' "my first gaming PC" video. The case is a bit dated though its lightweight is nice. Also the door broke off so it looks less nice.

 

I have a cat & my room has a carpet so my computer can get a little dusty.
My PC has an AMD GPU & CPU so it gets a bit toast in there. (Especially with how small the case is.)

 

I do lots of game development work & play some unreal engine games so I need good airflow to make sure my components don't overheat. I'm tired of being ghetto & leaving the side panel off.

 

I need a case that can fit a non-modular PSU, (so a basement could be a nice quality of life feature) at least three 3.5 inch HDD (room for more would be nice)

At least some room for an SSD 2.5 inch. Room for a DVD drive is nice, but not super necessary. Sometimes I put dvd movies or music cds in to listen to. Not a deal-breaker.

 

One of my main problems with this PC is that I am always out of USB ports. My motherboard has room on it for more but, my case is super dated.

 

I would like something nice looking, but no RBG. I've seen some PCs with white lights or blue lights, but I don't really want to pay extra for it. Silver colour is nice, as it would match my HP monitor (27es) but I'm not too picky. I don't have any fans, but if I need to buy some, I'm open to it. Don't budget for fans in the case budget. If a case comes with quiet fans, that's okay. If you don't know if they're quiet, don't stress about it. Something nice to work in would be a nice change. Nothing too "gamer." A "modern" aesthetic is kinda what I'm thinking. Sidepanel window is neither here nor there. If it has a hidden back cable management spot, no sidepanel. If my cable management looks bad, then I don't want to see it. I might need dust filters. I'm all air cooling right now. I don't think I will be upgrading to get a watercooling package. The AMD cooler that comes with Ryzen CPU seems to work fine. I don't overclock.

 

My budget would naturally lean towards lower cost, but I won't cheap out. I'd be okay spending extra as I can keep this case forever if need be. I'm located in the US mainland & would like to order from Newegg. Budget of up to maybe $150 but $80~120 target.

Gunmetal Define R6 $150

An alternate would be the NR600 with ODD, but currently the ODD version is out of stock on both newegg and amazon.

I like this one. It has all those dust filters? oh, the video jstudrawa posted answered that question.

That's the case I was kinda picturing in my head. Thanks!

It even has a hidden slot for a DVD drive.

u da man.

This one looks nice but has only like 2 front USB ports.

I agree. It shows off all the features one would really want.

That's a very nice looking case, but I think I like the one TVwazhere posted just a little more.

Thank you for the suggestion!
