Which case for a beginner?

Either would be fine. Choose the case that you'll like to look at for the next couple of years.

460X

460X

 

I'd personally vouch against the 460X

it looks beautiful, but it has nearly no space behind the motherboard tray. literally my 24-pin motherboard cable, on its own, is thicker than the space behind the mobo tray. I spent almost 4 hours planning cable runs for it, and there's still a slight bulge in the side panel if I look closely at it.

 

S340 Elite and Phanteks P400s (Preferably Tempered Glass Edition) look really good and are easy to build in.

I stay away from Corsair in general, but good to know.

Any reason for that?

Seems like they make good products in general.

Too many bad experiences. KB hardware and software issues and SSD controllers dying prematurely mainly.

Anyone know of the actual difference between 400 and 400s?

An "s"?

The 400s can be thought of as the "silent" version.

The Only difference between the p400 and the P400s is the addition of sound dampening material and a fan controller. I personally own the P400s acrylic window and my wife owns the P400 tempered glass. I would go P400 tempered glass.

Congratulations. You've not only made my Note 5 turn over from loading, but you're also locked up the browser!

Note 5 is feeling like a downgrade from my old Note 4...

 

It isn't doing anything properly. I'm surprised it can dial phone numbers.

Agree with skipping Corsair, I love their products but I was heavily disappointed going from a S340 to the 400C when it launched. I'm already looking at a new case, and might actually return to the S340.. or really liking the look of the Thermaltake View 27 and the Inwin 303 as my case sits on the desk against the wall so more of a display case suits me better.

I completely understand that. I still have my Note 2 and had to use it a few days as my wife had to use my phone. I felt so slow on that phone and was surprised I could call my wife with it.

What's the deal with putting shot glasses in your computer?

It's a reservoir. Albeit for his own cooling, not the PC's.

I felt like it. Plus it keeps the 6 cats and a 3 year old child from breaking them. Plus they are mass effect themed.
