Best case for ME?

[mcmad358]

Hey guys, so im in a stump of picking the best case for my taste... i am kind of picky in this topic because a  case is pretty much the first thing i look at every time i go on my computer. It is either make it or break it for me... so i want all the help i could possibly get. 

 

My top three choices are NZXT H440. Corsair Air 540, or Corsair Graphite 760T unless further awed by any other recommendation...

 

So i have compiled a list of what im looking for in a case:

 

• Great airflow
• Great cable management
• Aesthetically pleasing  (Matching MSI Z97 Gaming 5 if possible)
• Silent operation, or near silent (Watercooling with Swiftech H220X probably when release)
• Good features
• Black interior
• Side panel window obviously
• USB 3.0 with power and reset button
• ATX
• Good compatibility and customization options

I know one case may not have all of these features but im looking for the case with most of them.

 

Thank you for your time, all answers appreciated! 

 

 

Edit: IF giving a new suggestion, budget is about 150 bucks

H440. I love it.

I got my 450D recently, and its awesome!!! You should get it, or H440 if you really want.

I've built in a H440 and it's pretty damn amazing so I think that would be a great choice, but the 760T is pretty damn sexy.

Er... How's the Phanteks Enthoo Primo Pro for your wants? I know little about cases, so...

NZXT H440 is really the best ATX case. 

 

Here's a unconventional and quite terribly priced case that might peak your interest. I know it totally ignores plenty of your requirements but it's just so strange and beautiful I thought I'd share it with you.

A Rev 2 is in need lol. but the exterior looks amazing :wub:

Im tempted towars the Enthoo, how does it compare to H440 and 760T?

@mcmad358

as an owner of the H440 and 750D (same as 760T), it is as "quiet" as your loudest

device making noise.

How's the build quality? I saw a lot of reviews complaining about Corsair having taken shortcuts on the build quality.

My first corsair case, but honestly I have nothing to complain about besides the hdd cages.

Well the Enthoo Primo and Pro in comparison the H440 has better support for expandability being a full tower. If you plan on getting an E-ATX motherboard such as the EVGA Classified Z97 or the Asus Rampage IV Black Edition it would have quite the advantage. Although the H440 can actually fit a E-ATX board, it just covers up the rubber grommets. In my opinion if you have no use for the E-ATX support I'd ditch the 760T and Enthoo for the H440. The main thing to keep in mind is the fact that the two cases have a significant advantage in expandability. Of course the two cases are also significantly more expensive and in my opinion lack in the looks department in comparison to the H440. Otherwise you're really just picking for the looks and slight advantages and disadvantages between them. They all really are superior cases.

Thanks for the info, now it is in a dead tie between the H440 and Enthoo Pro...... Im going to wait until Linus does the Pro before making a decision

[TheNinjaNextDor]

The H440 is amazing.

Try the Fractal design define R4  black windowed version it's like a slightly more airflow version of the H440

• Great airflow
• Great cable management
• Aesthetically pleasing  (Matching MSI Z97 Gaming 5 if possible)
• Silent operation, or near silent (Watercooling with Swiftech H220X probably when release)
• Good features
• Black interior
