Want a case upgrade

Go to solution Solved by TheSLSAMG,

The Fractal Design Define R5 like the R4 is absolutely fantastic. High quality, fair amount of foam to deaden the sound and decent airflow.

I am trying to upgrade my case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119240

Inside I have:

  • Full ATX mobo
  • corsair h100i
  • 3XSSDs
  • 1XHDD
  • evga supernova 750 g2
  • msi gtx 970 gaming 100me

What I am looking for I a case that can easily handle this while keeping it as quiet as possible with mostly low and quiet rpm fans. Oh my budget is no more then 130 dollars.

I'm going to stick my neck out here and say the Define looks dull.

I like the NZXT ones more.

I cannot be held responsible for any bad advice given.

I've no idea why the world is afraid of 3D-printed guns when clearly 3D-printed crossbows would be more practical for now.

My rig: The StealthRay. Plans for a newer, better version of its mufflers are already being made.

You might be able to find an NZXT switch 810 on sale for around that price point. Very nice case plenty of space for customizing the inside look and easy to build in. also looks badass.

Whelp forgot to include a drain valve in my loop, there's always next time.
