I recommend the Aerocool Aero 500/800, not from a super well known company but pretty good build with tons of air flow for little money.

Hi everyone,

In a few months I am going to buy/build my first gaming pc. I have had past experience with building and I have help from friends, so that wont be a problem :). I have just about chosen all of my parts with the exception of case! I am looking for a minimalistic (not necessarily compact!) case with a window side panel. I have searched around for a while and have only come across limited items that meets my terms (eg corsair carbide clear 400c, in win 303 case and lian li pc-o9 although lian li cases are expensive). I was wondering  if any of you had some recommendations for a case :). Must haves! Window side panel, ATX motherboard support, room for full sized graphics card (planning to go for a gtx 1080 or 1070) and room for a 240 mm radiator. My budget is around 100-150 dollars, I am however willing to go a bit beyond this if I see something exceptional ;) 

TL;DR: Looking for minimalistic case with window side panel + full ATX support.

Thanks in advance :)

Define R5 fits here i think

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016
