Corsair 300r, or 200r

Posted

I need a PC case with terrific (use your judgement) cable management abilities, and great airflow. But I also need it to work with a Noctual NH-D15 CPU fan and work with EVGA GTX 970 Superclocked ACX 2.0. I also have some additional things to look out for: No LED colors unless it's blue, must be compatible with an ATX Mobo, and lastly no case window.

 

 

Thanks a bunch folks :D

 

 

EDIT: Also I don't really want to pay any more than $60.

I don't like case windows since my cable management is horrible, but I guess a case with good cable management and a fully modular PSU would help.

 

LOL my name, anyways how's shanking pyros going?

You forgot Haf 912

I personally don't like the look of that case at all, and it doesn't have USB 3.0 front panel headers

Better value for money.......more airflow, hdd caddies, larger fan mount.

Or just get a H230 for a quiet case....idk OP would want a quiet case anyway.

My 300r has really good airflow. I've never owned the Cooler Master case so I guess I wouldn't know. My 300r doesn't exactly hold the sound in, but my computer is never very loud. OC'ed FX-6300 with a 212 EVO and an MSI GTX 970. It's silent unless I'm running stress testing, and even then I can barely hear it over my room fan. When my room fan is off and it's under a lot of load it's a little louder than what may be acceptable to some people. The 300r has so much open mesh, and my 212 evo points right out the top. Also, the CM case IMO is plain ugly

300R is a okay case if you are like doing a single card setup and don't plan to upgrade anytime......

4 drive cages isn't enough for me.....:/

Holy crap! How many hard drives do you have? I have 3 right now and I couldn't imagine having more. As for "single card" I don't see why it would have issues with SLI
