Hi all :) I need your case recommendations lol.

I'm looking for an ATX case but I can't find a nice one with what I need to go in it. I'm looking for one similar to the 460X or Pro M case that can reduce the sound/vibration hugely that also has no tempered glass at all but can still accommodate the following:

Spoiler

2x 140mm fans (Front)

1x 120mm fan (Rear/Back)

A Cryorig H7 CPU Cooler

2x HDDs & 1x SSD

A PSU shroud

ATX Sized Motherboard

I've only found one case and that is what everyone recommends, which is the S340 by NZXT but I don't like the front panel because it's just too plain; I more or less prefer how the Pro M and 460X show the fans which are below the IO on the front. 

 

As a side question, do they make a non-tempered glass version of the 460X ..? That's basically what I need but can't find.

Any other recommendations guys?

Thanks! <3

Hey I'm Xiauj ^_^ Wassup :3

Ermmm I'd guess no? If you want the fans showing then it has to be something see through where aluminium/steel isn't see through? :P 

 

For an actual case suggestion, IDK :/ 

Looking at my signature are we now? Well too bad there's nothing here...

Is it only/very-mostly tempered glass cases that make the fans visible..? :|

I don't mind if the fans don't show through at the front, just something that's mostly quiet and with good cooling and not the S340 where its just plain xD for 2x 140mm's and the rest. Woulda gone with the Pro M but apparently its not great.

You do get cases where due to it's front mesh, the fans can be kind of seen :P

Any ideas/recommendations of some good recommended quiet ones?

I've seen some people say NZXT's cases are quiet and so are Corsairs but I dunno if they are right :|

Corsair 400c is the same as the 460x but with steel panels and an acrylic window. It has a solid front panel, however.

The 760t is similar but larger, with a mesh front that leaves the fans visible.

What do you think of cube cases? They can look quite interesting too. For example the Corsair air 540: https://www.caseking.de/corsair-carbide-air-540-atx-cube-silber-gecs-025.html or the air 740: https://www.caseking.de/corsair-carbide-air-740-atx-cube-schwarz-gecs-067.html

 

Would be nice to know what your budget is.
