Looking for new case

[Reddax]

I currently have the Antec DF-85, which I have had for around 5 years now.

I am now looking for a smaller, lighter, sleeker, and quieter case. I've been looking between the NZXT H440 and Fractal Define R5. I was looking more towards the R5 as I have a dvd drive, though I can live with a usb one.

 

Was wondering if there are any other case recommendations around this price point of £100?

Thanks.

noctis 450, but it might be a little over budget depending on your location

The newer fractal design Define S 
The new Phanteks P400s

Honestly the Define R5 is an excellent case. My friend got it a few days back and it's awesome. Nice design, quiet, good airflow and it's very modular.

I second the Fractal Design Refine S... love mine.

Just looking at reviews for it, looking pretty good, and cheaper than the R5 too. Is it a pretty quiet case? Compared to my current case, I think any case will sound MUCH quieter than this.

Nzxt S340, Phantecks Eclipse 400, Corsair Air 540(bit bigger but still good looking), also the Define R5 is a decent option though im no longer a fan of there cases due to my experiences with the Define S

NZXT S340's are nice, especially if you get the one with a side panel window.

Watch Hardware Cannucks Review of it on YouTube, I think that'll help your decision a low.

I use the Define R5 and it is a fantastic case! extremely quiet and good airflow. It's also very modular, you can take out all the hard drive cages for better airflow or watercooling. maybe the Define S is a good option as well

i have seen tests on hardwareinfo and it says the fractal design define r5 was the quietest with the best airflow for the money.
