New case

[v0gty]

Hey everyone

 

I want to upgrade my pc with a new case.

I thougt about the NZXT Phantom 410.

 

What do you think about it?

Pros & Cons?

Any other suggestions? (i don't like the Phanteks Enthoo Pro)

What do you think about my build in general?

 

Here's my current build:

 

CPU: AMD FX-8350

Cooler: Noctua NH-U12P SE2

Mobo: Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z

RAM: Adata DDR3 16GB

GPU: Zotac Geforce GTX 780 AMP!

PSU: Corsair RM850

 

 

I hope i'll get some answers of you

The 410 is a good case that will house your components, but it's main downfall is the lesser airflow than other cases in the price bracket. At the same time, if you like it, get it.

Why do you think the airflow is not good?

I was thinking so from all of the plastic in that case's outer shell, but it seems the front fan is well ventilated. Forget what I said.

Silverstone RV05!!!!!!!!!

Fractal design arc midi r2 is very good, with loads of features for a rather cheap price, including support for watercooling, air cooling, and is covered in dust filters. I wouldn't go with the phantom unless you either don't mind dust, otherwise you need to get it into a positive air pressure setup, clean it very frequently, or buy dust filters, as it doesn't come with any stock.

Do you know cases in this price range with better airflow?

 

It needs to have:

- a window

- at least 2 5.25" drive bays

- 240 or 280 mm radiator support in the top (i will ad a closed loop cooler in the future

- good airflow

- it needs to be a midi-tower (atx compatible)

The Corsair C70 comes to mind, as does the Fractal Design Arc Midi R2.

The RV05 looks a bit ugly.

The arc midi r2 looks well build but a bit lame.

 

but anyway thx

The C70 looks really cool.

How is the airflow?.

And i think its a bit big or is it just me?

The raven is a marmite case.

I can agree on the arc midi, I think it's a great case but a bit boring for me.

The C70 is awesome, and probably would be my case if I didn't like the raven so much. The airflow out the box isn't too good, but you can move the fans on the drive cages to the front and remove the top cage to improve airflow considerably. And it's build quality is great, almost entirely metal so it can take a beating as well.

I'm currently thinking about buing on of these two:

 

- Corsair Vengeance C70

- Corsair Carbide 300r

 

The 300r looks like a smaller version of the C70 and I don't know if the C70 is to

big for me.

The C70 isn't that big. I own one.

 

It is amazingly well built, most all of the construction is metal, it has great airflow and is worth the extra money over a 300R IMO.
