Hey guys,

 

So I'm looking for a new pc case but have a specific idea in mind, I've been looking with no success so maybe you guys have seen what I'm looking for?

 

I want a case that has no windows, space for 3x140mm fans in the front and 3x140 in the top and 1x140 for rear exhaust, but I also want it to have a door on the front that can open / close for noise / airflow needs. The case would also need at least one USB type c on the front io. Foam padding is a bonus but I can do this myself if needed.

 

So any ideas guys? I've seen some that come close but they don't have usb type c on the front io.

You might wanna look into BeQuiet line up of cases.

They only have space for 2x140 in the front. And no usb type c

The thing is, most of the cases that have USB Type C are quite flashy. And are not meant to be very minimalistic and/or focus on noise dampening.

 

Imho, your best bet is to add that port yourself or wait for market to catch up a bit more.

None of these do what I am looking for as far as I'm aware.

Define r6 has a door, 140 back, 3x140 top, 2x140 front and 2x120 bottom and its slathered in sound dampening.

Yeah I was looking at this but I think it's got no usb type c on the front?

 

I think I just need to wait for the next versions to come out.

It's got a $30 usb type c addon that replaces the entire front panel, works really well.

Want to custom loop?  Ask me more if you are curious

They sell the module separately from the base R6. No way of ordering the case with it pre installed, but at least they give you the option to modify the current I/O. I believe it's $30 or $40
