Case Help

[HorseMonkey13]

Hey folks! It's me again. lol

 

This time though, I need help with finding that sweet spot case. Right now it's between 3 cases. The first being the Corsair Carbide Clear 400C Compact Mid-Tower Case, the second is the Thermaltake SUPPRESSOR F31 ATX Mid Tower, and then finally the MasterCase 5 Mid-Tower Computer Case.

 

I chose these 3 cases as the options, because I like that they have a side window, and because they all seem to have very good reviews. Originally I was going to go with the cheaper Corsair Carbide Spec-01. My main concern is, this being my first computer build, I have no concept of cable management in this type of thing. Another thing I'm wondering about is case modularity. Is a modular case just outright better than a normal case?

 

Thanks again in advance for all the help!

personally I would go with the MasterCase 5. Cooler master has a pretty good rep with cases, looks great, and you should be able to fir just about anything in there without a problem

i would personally go for either the corsair or cooler master case.  both are amazing cases but cooler master might edge out in this one due to its flexabilty especally for a first time user

Cool. Also, as a follow up question; Is cable management that difficult? I know it's probably pretty straight forward, but would you recommend a semi-modular power supply to help with it? Or is the Cooler Master case pretty good with not need too much OCD with cable management? ^^;

depending on the power supply you have now and how much stuff you have to power you shouldn't need one. The Coolermaster case has pretty good cable management. I would just get some more zip ties (they never give you enough)

Awesome! Sounds like I've found the last piece that I need for my PC puzzle. Thanks!
