Hello wonderful community

I am looking for a computercase for my new gaming pc. I will be rocking a atx board and a gtx 1070ti and a ryzen 5 1600. I might mine with it or use it for folding at home. Also I might add a rx580 for mining/folding. I was reading a bit online about cases and I want as much airflow as possible so it won't run hot and won't be very noisy. I don't want to spend too much and don't care much about looks. 80 euros is really the max amount I want so spend, but I would really prefer less. Any recommendations? I was thinking about the Corsair Carbide SPEC-01 or the Cooler Master MasterBox Lite 5.

Thanks for all the help!

Not worth it to mine on your daily use PC IMO, you're basically running the components into the ground, it's why you always want that in a secondary PC that doesn't matter if something dies.

Silverstone RL06 PRO, comes with 3 120mm fans for intake

 

the Masterbox Lite 5 has no airflow

Maybe the Cooler Master CM Force 500? Good price and a lot of fans spaces

Looks like it intakes from the rear and side and has no front intake or top intake so no


What you're looking for is mesh everywhere ideally.

It looks pretty good. Is there one like this but with the side pannel on the other side? (this one faces the wall..)

Depends on the case, but if it has no mesh front intake or top intake your airflow is likely bad

 

You want something like the RL06 Pro, which has a mesh front and 3 fans for intake at stock

 

Something like a Masterbox 5(Black) is also fine as it has a mesh front intake.

oaky thanks! Will it make less noise with more fans? If so would it be a lot better? Sorry for all the questions but you guys know so much and I so little (learning every day)

Probably just need to look into noise specific tests for the reviews

GN has a category for noise here though

But if you're planning to run your cards for mining you're going to want the fans at 100% anyways, so it'll be loud no matter what

The masterbox 5 will look the best for my room, that a bonus and is cheaper. Is there a difference in terms of cooling?

It just has less fans at stock, can always add some later, the Black version is the one with a mesh front
