Starting to hate enthoo luxe for the size, any suggestion for good quality but smaller case?+

Zackfoo

I am actually looking into Corsair Air 540, it looks so good with the water cooling parts inside. I custom water cooled my cpu but enthoo luxe is just too bulky and make my whole system looks so empty it does not feel nice.

 

Any other suggestion? Around that enthoo luxe and corsair air 540 price point too thx.

Don't tell me some caselabs stuff that shit super dope but i can't afford and even if i can i will buy a 980ti instead.

 

Thx in advance guys!

Shame there isn't a "I think you lost your mind" button for you not liking the Luxe though :P

a little over 2 months i think. Really? now im really in dilemma cause no other case really looks as good this(this price point) not even h440 imo. But Air 540 is something else.

Any other suggestion? Around that enthoo luxe and corsair air 540 price point too thx.

Don't tell me some caselabs stuff that shit super dope but i can't afford and even if i can i will buy a 980ti instead.

that is huge as hell bro lol i see it in person matter of fact the ex owner of my case use the luxe for 2 days and sell cause he need even bigger space so he went for the primo.

 

If money is not an issue, look at caselabs, their case is sexy as hell especially for me i like it as simple as possible. 

 

Still don't know should i keep the case or not man this is hard.
