Hello everyone.

 

I'm starting to gather components for my new computer and already have the motherboard and cpu, graphics card, and most of the storage purchased, but don't have anything in mind for a case, as well as a rather uncommon set of requirements.

 

My motherboard is of size extended ATX and I need room for full a length graphics card. The part that's probably more uncommon is that I also need room for at least 6, but preferably 8+ 3.5" drives, as well as at least 1 (preferably 2) externally accessible 5.25" bays.

 

I am not particular concerned about about aesthetics, so glass sides, RGB lighting, etc don't actually add much value to me.

 

Any ideas are appreciated.

What budget/country?

Probably just buy a Fractal Focus, should be cheap and it has good airflow. Think it has 5.25" bays but why do you need those?

Or just buy an RL06 or Coolermaster H500 if you want some of the best airflow.

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

It is based on their opinion, you have your own of course.

 

I personally dislike Corsair and Antec cases but adore Fractal cases. I will usually recommend Fractal as I like their clean design and good cable management. That is my opinion and it’s up to the person requesting information to work out what is best for them from our advice or comments.
