Looking for a new case

Hi All,

So its time to change my case for something more focused on airflow and I am currently stuck at what to purchase.

I have been looking at both the thermal take Core X2 and X31 cases but also CM MasterCase Pro 3 but I am undecided.

What case would you recommend, I am open to suggestions, personally at the moment I prefer the X2 and Pro 3 because I plan to have my GPU visible with a PCI-e tray and the X31 does not offer that.

 

Many Thanks

The TT View 31 TG looks nice, but not really optimized for airflow I think. Although, the case is pretty damn wide for a mid-tower and has a lot of vents so it doesn't really get pretty hot inside. It also has a GPU bracket.

I don't see that GPU bracket? The x71 has the mounting for it though.

what about the master case pro 3?

The bracket comes with the case(detachable), but not the riser cable though. It's that triangular thing just below the back exhaust fan.

Mastercase pro 3 is great too, just don't like the acrylic side panel, very susceptible to scratches when cleaning it. Although you can switch it for a tempered glass but that costs extra.

The plan was always to have bits and pieces swapped with the pro 3 which is why I like it so much, it's front looks like it has better airflow
