So my case's front I/O has been playing up, and i'm not overall impressed with the case itself.

So i'm looking for a standard ATX case- any colour - and doesnt have to have a window.

Im looking for something with good cooling for my graphics card and CPU.

Thanks (if you need any ask for more details!)

I recommend anything from Corsair. The Vengeance and Graphite line of cases are really nice. As much as I love the Vengeance case though the side window is a turn off for me since it has fan mounting holes. I personally own a 600T and love it. The only complaint with the 600T is the lack of an internal USB 3.0 header. Otherwise, it's a really gorgeous case and has tons of options for cooling and modding.

My brother has that case, it may face spacings for 2 front fans but doesn't seem to be able to pull air in due to the lack of air vents, or them being rather small. But of course I'm not the best at this, and I'm not just looking for a good case with looks :)

Thanks for the reply, certainty Corsair cases are up there with the ones I'm thinking of getting. But I'm also thinking of getting the thermaltake chaser a31, what do you think of this? And thanks for the reply!

Tasteful and not overly flashy design, removable dust filters for fans, good cable management, good variety with the I/O... There's not a single thing to dislike about it.

I am using the Cooler Master CM 690 II Advanced (USB 3.0 version) and I have to say that I am not disappointed. It has lots of cooling potential and can fit about everything you can think of (in terms of an ATX build :D). Keep in mind though that this is my first build and I do not have experience with other cases.

I also heard that the HAF series from Cooler Master has great airflow.

Or you could go for a Corsair case (what DLM_012 already said), I have heard a lot of good things from their cases.

New to Star Citizen? Look no further!

NZXT Phantom 410 :D, Or if you want something less flashy then a Fractal Define R4 is a great choice as well.

Corsair gets a no from me :> They are too rugged-looking for me. but i would not deny that they are good cases nonetheless.

Thanks the replies :) So currently i'm torn between the ThermalTake Chaser A31 - Corsair C70/600T - NZXT Tempest - Fractal Design R4....
ive looked at the chaser A31, if you do get it, i hope you don't care about cable clutter, no room behind the mobo tray for any big cables like the 24 pin

I see what you mean now... It would take some work to make it look tidy... Do you think it'll be a struggle with a fully modular power supply?

The Fractal Desgin Define R4 is probably one of the best all round cases you can buy ATM, it does everything well and is also built like a tank!

i personally think that the nzxt phantom or the phantom 410 is the best atleast for me and it looks amazing and its cheap also has ridiculous airflow and you can fit just about any fan in it
