im searching for a tempered glass case to update from my corsair air 540 and i was about to buy the s340 elite from nzxt when i realized that my cooler,a dark rock pro 3 is too tall for this case(about 2mm more that the case allows).

 

so now i'm looking for an alternative with good reviews that can fit my cooler.i want to spend 150 euros max

 

any help would be appreciated :)))

The Phanteks P400S is a pretty nice case and value, will need to check the cooler height however.

oh boy "budget" cases makes me think ~€70 or bellow lol. at €150 there are a lot of options, like the Fractal Design R6. If you want some good reviews id check out hardwarecanucks for a general review and GamersNexus for a more performance based review. both of them have reviewd most of the cases you might be interested in here

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016
