Problem deciding which case to buy

[motapinto]

Hi guys,

I am a newbie around here and am going to start on my first pc building. I am having lots of difficult figuring out which case to buy. I have narrowed the options to 4 or 5 cases but have no idea what to choose. I value most the silence and a case with good cable management and with a glass panel. I am stuck between the FD Define R5, the FD Define C, Phanteks Eclipse P400 and the NZXT S340. Can anyone help me_

FD's new case is pretty sick too:

cases are terms of opinions, get whatever case has features you want or looks good to you.

Masterbox 5, my favourite case, a replacement for the shitty s340 I had gotten before it.

Why is the s340 a bad case_

I have had a bad experience with the screws and cable management of it, as well as installing my 140/280mm radiator and fans which I had to take the whole front of to do so and was all a messy experience, I didn't like the aesthetic of the finished product and was confused why a case of that price didn't have a reset switch. Masterbox 5 solved all those issues for me, especially cabling as I fitted all my non-modular cables with ease, didn't take me long to realize the complete experience that you get with the case, outstanding.

Go for the S340, It was the first (and only) case I ever built it and I gotta say its pretty easy and I never had any problems, not to mention how cool it looks.

watch reviews for each case, see teh strong points and the weak points that apply to your build plans, like if you plan to top mount a 240 rad, will the rad interfere with the ram or motherboard VRM heat sinks and other stuff like how easy is cable management and stuff like that, Hardware Canucks is pretty good source for those types of videos.
