I'm Looking For A Case

[JoshPJ]

I'm looking for a good easy to build in with good cable management and sound reducing ATX mid tower case preferably with tempered glass, i dont really have a budget so I welcome all suggestions.

 

Edit:preferably not over £200

Edit 2: I don't need 5.25" external drives

[PineyCreek]

Do you need external drives (5.25")?

Every Phanteks case I've touched has been a joy to build in.  I personally have the Enthoo Luxe tempered glass edition.  There were some complaints of the Evolv ATX case (there is a tempered glass edition) but YMMV based on your configuration.

 

Then again, if you're targeting sound dampening, be quiet! has a line of cases as well, but I don't have any personal experience with them so I can't give you an informed recommendation.  Bitwit on Youtube has built some in them I think.

I was going to go with the enthoo evolv atx tg but i found out that it is both sides which put me off

I can see that.  I'd rather it be one side as well.  The Luxe tempered is one side tempered, and even though it's classified full tower it's barely bigger than the ATX.

Let me tempt you further: Color manual with full breakout diagrams.  Compartmentalized part tray.  Though really that applies to all Phanteks that I've seen.  The included case fans aren't complete crap either.

nzxt s340 elite is a nice one. only problem is that there isnt any sound dampening. got mine on my table and i can hear it. but my keyboard is way louder.

Yeah i was looking at that but i dont like the forwards metal bar that is used for cable management instead of rubber gromets

If you're talking about the 140's it's either the Phanteks PH-F140SP or MP.  I can try to check later.  It has a 200mm in the front for intake.  The site picture shows an XP though.  I'll try to get you a definite.

oh on the specifications it says it comes with 4x 140mm fans and can fit up to 5 140mm so i was going to buy the fifth

My bad, I was looking at the specs on the non-tempered glass model.  yes, two 140s in the front, one in top, one in back.  It's been a while since I looked inside.  I'll check on the type later.  I took one of them out because a 360mm radiator went up top, so I'll check it when I get a chance.  I'm like 90% certain my model has the SP fans.

I was wrong.  The ones that came with my case are the MP model.
