PC Case

Go to solution Solved by OsuMasterz,

I don't think you can, you can get a SPEC-02 for $90...

Hi Guys,

I'm looking for a case that meets these requirements:

(I was looking at the Cougar Evolution.)

  • Has adequate room for cable management.
  • Has a side window
  • Fits an mATX mobo. ( Would prefer ATX size case)
  • Has a fan controller built in

  • Mid-Tower or Full tower

  • Around 100 AUD.

s340 or a air 540 

The air 540 is a nice case and plenty of room for cable management (had one) but it doesn't have a fan controller and is about $150 US so it would be over budget.

The S340 would be a good option, but I don't know if it has a fan controller

Please "Quote" me if you want me to see your response.

s340 is cheaper and he can buy a fan controller for cheap. the air 540 is a awesome case just threw it out if he wants to spend a bit extra.

air 540 is way to expensive.

I can afford the s340 though, what do the rest of you think.

Do you want it software controlled?

Nah, I was wanting like a physical controller, preferably tells me temperature as well.

It's $50 for software controlled one, and $60 for a physical one and it requires a 5.25 bay

The s340 doesn't have a 5.25 bay

 

That's the downside I was looking at with the s340. and its 30 AUD more. Although it does look nicer.

Phanteks P400.

Phanteks P400s is ~$110 AUD and comes with sound dampening foam.

Imo it is a better case then the S340
