Which case should I buy?

[GrayTech]

Hey Guys!

I'm searching for a case because I want to build my first PC. These are the cases I like:

     -Corsair Carbide Series 100R (about 47€): clean look, low price, two 5,25 inch slots (I know it's a very basic case without many features but it's cheap, probably worse build quality than the others)

     -Silverstone Redline Series RL05 (about 67€): PSU chamber, one 5,25 inch slot, USB C on the front      

     -Phanteks Eclipse P400 (about 68€): PSU chamber, LEDs

     -NZXT Source S340 (about 73€): very clean look, PSU chamber

 

So which one would you get and why? Or would you get something else with a similar look?

You can get an original Phanteks LED 1m/2m strip for a relatively low price for the P400 and control its RGB colors with the button on the front panel if you connect it to the built-in controller, also, looks. My vote gets the P400.

I'd probably go with the  Phanteks or the Silverstone.

S340. If you can spare a bit more, get the elite. TG!

If your budget is really limited & you don't mind replacing the case in 5+ years then Corsair Carbide. However, if that's not the case but would prefer something on the smaller side then Phanteks or NZXT. Silverstone will promote the best airflow but also likely the most noise out of the 4 total. Personally I'd suggest something else entirely unless you really need all that room. I love the CM MasterCase Pro 3 but even being Micro ATX form factor it's still too big. Unfortunately it's the only option for me at the moment in regard to my future build unless something else becomes available. Just consider the points I've mentioned & decide which of those is the most important to you. If I absolutely had no choice but to pick 1 of these 4 it would be the Phanteks Eclipse P400, for it's durability & high quality removable filters vs the others.

Thanks for your reply. I'll check out the CM MasterCase Pro 3 but personally I would prefer an ATX case.

Silverstone Redline then, best airflow & the only true ATX form factor case out of the options given.

My vote goes to S340. If you can squeeze out a little more cash, get the Elite version.
