I've a Corsair 350D and Fractal Design Mini C. I like both of them. Maybe a Fractal R5 Blackout or Corsair 400Q next time.

Or would something more like pic related be better? I kinda like the option of having a CD drive or US hub in the 5.25" bays

>>60637703
Do you get OK airflow with either of those? Fell for the shitty S340 elite meme (Kill the sidewindow fags like me plz) and the airflow is shit

>>60637664
You're looking at the right one, buy it

>>60637724
My build isn't really in need of much airflow and I'm not sure how to measure it. Temperatures are very low but I only have a 65W CPU and a GTX 1050.

>>60639889
If you use one of those you'll fry your shit, at best it just won't work. It's literally just a FireWire connector and a USB connector, there's no adapter for the protocols or even voltage (FireWire is 12V and USB is 5V)

It's a device-by-device thing. Lots of FW stuff shipped physically designed to use FW (since that was standard at the time) but also able to talk USB if it detected +5v coming over the bus rather than +9v or higher (FW actually didn't have a spec voltage, and Apple laptop implementations, which were the most common users, just dumped unrectified battery power straight onto the bus.) Think hard drive iPods kinda, though those used mechanical separation in the cable as a simpler solution.

Now, if you use these adapters in reverse, especially on a desktop or PS2, you WILL let out the magic smoke.

FT02 MSRP was $250, FT05 MSRP is $180, but it can regularly be bought for $160. yeah, it's expensive for a case, but it's cheaper, and smaller than the ft02, and unless you absolutely need 5.25 bays i would say it's better looking, too.

according to some review of those be quiet cases, they are silent as fuck while being able to keep your system cool. Not as much as some other cases, but it would be a difference of 5°C maximum iirc. It might depend on the GPU and CPU you're using.

just got one yesterday, really nice, the transfer went really well, and although it's a bit wider, it takes up way less space than the 600T it replaced, with it's fucky front 200mm fan.

What are some good cases that lay the motherboard horizontally?
I would rather have my gpu's weight resting on the pcb of the motherboard than on the small connection between the two.

I'm looking for a matx one with the capacity to hold a standard atx power supply, and at least one 5.25" drive bay.

The main ones I know of either skip the cd drive slot or are huge like that HAF one that is atx.

what is the power supply grounding.

either this is bait, or you're a fucking dog on the internet.. stop using your owners PC scruffy!!

>>60664587
Apparently you are a fucking idiot. The PC "power supply" adapts the mains AC voltage in a handful of DC voltages useful inside the PC, that conversion radiates EMI, no problem thou as the PSU is encased in metal. Now, almosteverything else you connect to the output wires of the power supply, does even more power conversion and that radiates EMI that is not shielded by anything if you don't use a properly grounded computer case around such components.
Not only that but every oscillating signal generated in the motherboard, CPU, RAM, HDD; every piece of computer hardware, also radiates EMI.
In the "all glass and acrylic" PC case posted, there is no shielding around the PC components so it's like running them in open air, they produce EMI all around.

CAVEATS being it has shit watercooling compatibility unless you hacksaw it, and you gotta make sure your GPU and CPU heat fins are parallel with air flow, some GPU heatsinks perform subpar in the vertical orientation. SLI/Crossfire with blower-style cards and m2 ssd temps are excellent though.

What I like about these cases is that they have a whole lot of room behind the motherboard for cables. This becomes rather important when you have a bunch of harddrives.

>>60637863
I had a Cooler Master HAF before I switched to the Fractal R5. It's really noisy. And harddrives make the whole case vibrate and buzz. I've had two Cooler Master cases and I'm not buying anything from that garbage company again.

The most annoying part of Cooler Master's cases though is their fans. I've immediately replaced every single fan that's come with a Cooler Master case because they all have this annoying whining sound from the fan motors.

It was a super easy for me to install and mount everything in my current build inside of it and I have dual GPUs in SLI, a water cooling unit for the CPU, and a 4 drive raid running through a pci-e card.

I still use an old Chieftec Dragon. 12 kg of steel.

I just want a mid-tower that has handles and is as lightweight as possible

I've been reusing one of these Chieftec chassis since forever. I've probably had it since 2004 at least, and just kept replacing the insides. It's sturdy like no other chassis I've seen, so I'm not looking to change anytime soon.

Also use another Chieftec for my server, just as good.

Not the one you're replying to, but I've been running my PC with no case for extended periods, so please tell me why this is a problem. I hope you're not one of those people who believes it gives you cancer.

Accept no substitutes.

>>60637664
don't buy fractal. I have an xl and it is garbage. Shit starts rattling from time to time and when I push on the side of the case I can deform it. My cooler master atc was better in every way.

>>60676984
How do those cases work? Could you replace the insides with something that isn't 15 years old, or is it all custom?

>>60640074
I currently have the G600 arctic white case, but I'm thinking of upgrading to this one soon. Plus I'll probably be helping my gf build a pc and just giver her my "old" parrts

>>60677014

It's normal ATX, just a sexy case.
And the connector for power button/led is propriety, but you can easily replace the 4 pins with proper contact units.

>>60677207
Might actually consider, then. I've always liked those Sun cases.

>>60677279
If it will be possible to get those in ATX configurations, it would actually be fun to do a K12 build in such a case to keep the RISC legacy alive.

that thing can collect loads of dust even if you put it in a sterile hospital room

I have a Corsair Carbide Series® 100R Silent Edition,. It's decent.

Picked this out for my first build, getting shipped today

You scared me for a second. It was $130 tho, I probably did get ripped off but I think it looks really cool

>>60678222
That case is garbage, should have bought the enthoo evolv instead

>>60678587
Isn't the other one
the 570x better?

+ Looks nice
+ OK Cable management
+ Hidden 3.5" and 2.5" slots
+ Fairly silent
+ Fairly cheap
+ Fits 170mm CPU coolers despite papers saying 160mm

- Intake holes are too tiny → shitty airflow
- No room for radiator at top, would be too close to MB
- Holes for cables are too close to the MB, makes them awkward

>>60667603
got it too, I'm disappointed by front IO, the power button is plastic trash that gets stuck constantly
the hdd area gets too hot

>>60675020
go to bed, grandpa.

What's the best sound-insulating case? I can't stand spinning hard drives and GPU fans in summer.

Nothing fancy, but it's pretty good for is price

Where do you even buy jonsbo cases if you aren't in us/china?

Great case, I had one of those for a long time. Lasted me until 2007 when I bought a pic related. I recently threw out the chieftec when clearing up the attic at my parents house though, since it's not very well suited for modern hardware.

How so? I'm still using one.

I have a Define S, to lazy to take a photo of it now...

Define R5 owners, is the power button soft when you press it? I have the inferior H440 and I hate the layout and the hard tactile power button.

inwin cases are far from practical, but they look extremely sexy

wish more manufacturers would make silver cases

>>60683521
Those are Jonsbo though

I have one of these with a gtx1080 and a i7 6700, no complaints

Bought the same case months ago. Solid case but the dust is a bitch to deal with.

>>60684970
Can you not put a cheap filter material such as pantyhose fabric and magnets around the case air intake to take care of that?

>>60684970
do you have exhaust fans on the top too? I only just got the case monday.

I've got this. It was one of the top rated cases in 2011 and I wanted the best airflow for my first build.
