To keep it short, my case blows. I'm more concerned about getting less dust over EVERYTHING IN MY FU***** CASE than anything, though silence is always a nice thing. My current case is composed entirely of metal mesh stuff the quite literally makes it just a giant vent with fans on it. The airflow is great, yes, but SO MUCH DUST INTAKE it's really not worth it. Just curious as to the classification of the s340; is it actually considered a "silent" pc case or is it just a "source" series case. (Yes I've seen Linus' video on the s340, it looks great imo and is pretty roomy for my needs)

CPU: INTEL Core i7 4790k @ 4.7Ghz - Cooling: NZXT Kraken X61 - Mobo: Gigabyte Z97X SLI - RAM: 16GB G.Skill Ares 2400mhz - GPU: AMD Sapphire Nitro R9 Fury 4G - Case: Phanteks P350X - PSU: EVGA 750GQ - Storage: WD Black 1TB - Fans: 2x Noctua NF-P14s (Push) / 2x Corsair AF140 (Pull) / 3x Corsair AF120 (Exhaust) - Keyboard: Corsair K70 Cherry MX Red - Mouse: Razer Deathadder Chroma

Bit of an AMD fan I suppose. I don't bias my replies to anything however, I just prefer AMD and their products. Buy whatever the H*CK you want.

What's your budget?

Maybe 90 usd. I've also been looking at the phantom 410.

You talked a lot about silence and mentioned the S340.

Have you ever heard of the NZXT H440?

Been playing on a laptop for 6 years, I play Dota 2 with 10fps. Some might say this is impossible, I say its just annoying

of course I've heard of the h440. If I had the money that would be my case, however I'm broke and only have 90 bucks.

Its only like $20 more, if you just waited, it would benefit you a lot it in the long run. The S340 is classified as a budget case, never heard it named as a silent PC as silence and budget usually don't come in the same sentence when you're broke and looking for PC parts

Im guessing youve already heard of it but ill put it in anyway

Well, I have read up on both of the above cases (both of which are quality products and I would use either one) but I will probably take your advice and save that extra 20 dollar bill for the h440.Thanks :D
