I'm looking into getting a new case. I've currently got an Antec 900 two, which I dispise. It's an utter dust magnet (negative air preassire, bad/no dust filters, impossible to clean plastic). I live in a dusty house and the PC lives on the floor and it is staying there. I'm looking for a relatively dust proof but also quiet PC case.

Ive got my eyes on:

  • Corsair 450D
  • Corsair Air 540
  • Fractal Define R4
  • NZXT H440
  • NZXT Phantom 530

What do you guys think?

A window is prefered.

 

Thx.

I wouldn't get the 450D due to it being more flimsy and plasticy than the usual obsidian series. It seems corsairs quaility is going down. Everything else is decent. Just up to looks.

Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof.

As I get older I get angrier more cynical, meaner. I feel some warning posts coming. I feel a ban coming. I was warned.
