New case

BloodWithIce

So, my 750D is great, but I got a bit tired of it to be honest. I have a 60mm thick 360 rad and I am looking for another option to choose from.
The 900D is out of discussion because it's basically a 750D xl.

Phanteks Enthoo Primo is a very good option for a nice inbetween of the 750D and 900D with some unique aesthetics.

I've had a look at it and it isn't too bad.

I enjoyed being the person to suggest it. That way someone can suggest something else.

MMM, that's a better list...More, diverse.

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.

How about the switch 810? Had mine since Wednesday and it's awesome. Only problem I had was cable management but that's only because a) im shit at it and b) it's only a temp deal until I get all the stuff I want for my case. Then I can sit down and get it done right. Also I got mine off of eBay for £86ish in gun metal grey from scancomputers. Think they still have it listed which is an awesome deal.

H440, Define R4, or the Arc Midi R2. The 60mm thick rad won't fit in thr R2 I don't think, and the R4 would mean no 5.25 bays.

You can fit a 60mm rad in the R2 and even a 80mm depending on the cpu socket positioning.

tbh, there just isn't that case, yet. i've gone through the 900D, 750D, enthoo,

arc midi, 450D, AIR 540, H440, SM8, ST10 and that case isn't available yet.

the primo pro is what i am waiting for to examine. seems all the development

stops short on drive support over-taking radiator support. roof support

crushed by 10 PCI slots, hot swap, smothered frontal intake, designed sheet

metal, deliberately in the way of devices, 5 ODD drive support and on and on.

 

i am looking for:

fractal design roof support for a 360x 60 or 420x 60 (offsetting if necessary),

removable ODD cage (screwed) 8x PCI i/o slot, front open air intake (760T)

for 240/280/360x 60 support, 2-4 HDD support, 2x SSD support (arc mini),

30mm cable management behind mobo tray, AIR 540 rear i/o fan support,

even smooth floor (SM8), complete filtered-frontal mesh, convertible front

i/oP/R switches whether on desk on on floor so the i/oP/R switches can easily

be relocated to accommodate either situation.
