What case?

Corsair Obsidian 750D

 

Fractal Design R5 Window

 

Phanteks Enthoo Luxe Window

 

I just cant decide i have the ASUS ROG MAXIMUS VIII HERO ATX MOBO but what case should i use for it?

 

 

 

1. The 750D looks amazing but i have heard that the build quality isn't that nice and is it really worth over the Phanteks Enthoo line up?

 

2. The R5 i like this silent little case but i would like better airflow as i dont want a very hot computer. I know that u can increase airflow in the case but that requires taking things out of the case right?

 

3. The Luxe i love the design of this case with alot of options im just worried about it being too loud or maybe my ATX MOBO will look too small inside the big case.

 

 

What would you recommend?

I prefer the Luxe by far. Cases aren't loud, components are. So unless your stuff is already loud there shouldn't be a problem, unless you need the crutch of case with sound dampening stuff.

honestly it comes down to personal preference.

 

as long as the case is made of metal

 

plastic is cheap as FUCK

 

but OP, it comes down to the features and most importantly the looks of the case

The r5 has just about as good of airflow as any midtower with odd can be, you just have to buy the fans separately to fill out the rest of the fan slots.

Also if airflow was a real concern I'd recommend dropping all odd and hdd drive bays in the center of the case as that all is a huge airflow restriction (and going with something like the define s with its 9! 140mm mounting spots.)

But hey I'm biased.

Luxe and R5 are the overrated options as it's Phankets and Fractal.........Corsair is less known for their Obsidian cases which have decent build quality.
