Cases

[MechaPeace]

Hi, I've had my computer down for about 5 months now but am finally able to fix most of the problems. The biggest thing I want at the moment though is to upgrade to a larger case but stay at a mid tower. I'd like to have a case with a good amount of room but not have resort to going for a full tower. Would like any suggestions of some good cases. I dont mind any full tower cases advices as well. Thanks in advance!

Yes, it started to make a buzzing/hissing sound before it died.

I really like that, I have this one

It's just way to small, hard to cable management and hard to work with when you have big fingers. Haha.

No the case is super easy to work in and cable management is a breeze

I would recommend getting a Fractal Design R5, NZXT S340 or a NZXT H440. I'm using the Fractal Design R5 myself and I really like for what it got. Great quality with good air flow really easy cable management and easy to clean from dust.
