Hi all,

 

I've started watching LTT recently and it's made me want blow some money on a PC (thanks for that). I plan on doing a 3 monitor setup and minor overclocking so I was wondering if you guys can find me one of these cases:

 

Hidden front ports

Minimalist design

Quiet(ish)

Windowed side panel

 

If you can find a case that lacks the minimalist design that's fine too. All help is appreciated :)

Define R5/S is pretty much hitting everything except the "hidden front ports"

 

Hidden front ports are pretty rare these days, and while you can take a look at the cases I recommended, I'd say it isn't really needed.

 

EDIT: Enthoo Evolve Evo 'Nough said.

NZXT s340 is a good choice if you want bang for buck, it's very nice and minimalist looking. If you can afford to pay double the price, go with the R5, it's got the sound dampening side panels and modular ventilation on top.

Define S/S340

both quiet, side pannel, 

and they both have ports on the top, if that's hidden for you

Even for a budget case the S340 looks high end.  Even with the cable management bar integrated into the case.  It's absolutely stunning with it's fantastic minimalist design.  Sorry I'm holding back before I have a Case-gasm

Though the S340 is the least gay case out there since it's air flow is piss poor and won't be blowing/sucking anything very well.

I like the S340 and the 400c but im not set on one yet. Although petty, my self diagnosed OCD wants clean cables and the 400c has ugly cables coming from the GPU so providing the S340 has sufficient cable management the black and red one may be a winner. 

 

Thanks.

Some Phanteks cases have hidden front ports. They are also high-quality and quiet-ish.

I can't comment on the design as that will be down to your personal taste, but Enthoo Evolve ATX is minimalist and very elegant. You can also check the Enthoo Luxe.

All are great cases for first time builders with great instructions and easy build options.
