What's the best computer case?

HAF is the fine balance between gaymen memes and functionality. HAF 912 and HAF X.

a cardboard box.

>>61587932
I have an NCASE M1, but now I kind of wish I went for a Nano S. I want more space. I already have 2.25tb of SSD, but I want some 8TB HDD.

cant really go more gamery

>Fractal design define mini c
It's small, light, quiet, has great cable managment, and it doesn't look like a gaymen case

>>61587932
The Define C is pretty nice.
I have a NZXT S340 Elite bc I'm a gaymer and I like glass. I really like it.

>>61587932
the ones with blue leds for extra cooling

>>61587932
FT002

P400S cause I am an LED faggot

>>61587932
So far, I've really liked the Fractal Define C, the Phanteks Enthoo Evolv, and the Phanteks Eclipse P400.

All of those offer a non-windowed version with sound insulation which is cool, and have decent airflow.

>>61587932
Shit air flow with the front panel closed, thus pointless in the first place.

The one that annoys /g/ the most.

Small ones that just sit in the background quietly without drawing any attention to them.

>>61587932
No case for optimal cooling. Just remember to dust regularly.

>>61588045
I have 8TB of HDD in the Dan A4 SFX. There's no reason why you can't have 16TB in the NCase M1.

>>61587932
>"""silenced""" case
>has cheap plastic parts that vibrates and dust filters that you can't fasten with screws
>only slide-in HDD bays which vibrates
That is a meme case

>>61589794
I have this one without the glass panel and I like everything about it except the fact that for some reason you can't turn off the front LED

>>61589990
Are you saying it doesn't? Because I have that case and I had DIY the fuck out of it to fasten all the parts and make it truly silenced.

>>61590042
I am pretty sure all of them have glass sides tho. Which one is yours?

I've been building pc's for almost 20 years. I've used many cases. Fractal Design is my case maker of choice. Fractal Design's Define Mini C is my alltime favorite case followed closely by Fractal Design's Define R5 Blackout Edition.

>>61591317

>>61591317
Yep, the Define R5 Blackout Ed. is a fun case to work with, after fixing the front panel dust filter rattling issue it came with. Seriously thought my case was getting ready to take off at first.

Running on a Elite 130. I like the size because I can bring home whenever I'm on holidays, but cable management is completely shit and too hard for me.

At least everything is working, but I should look for some more quieter fans.

>What's the best computer case?
The one in your picture.

>>61587932
Do people seriously argue about this?
Well, that was rhetorical of course because this thread really exists in this very earth.

Who cares?
Honestly, who would have such a fucking petty life to give a shit about what piece of metal is your computer encased on? I just bought a Thinkpad and a "Dell for Work" desktop and fuck it.

THIS IS NOT JUST BANTER
I REALLY WANT TO KNOW HOW YOUR LIFE IS LIKE

>>61593001
Sure why not.

Your laptop is shit.

>>61593276
no u

this brickpad laptop weights like 5~6 kg
also it looks really "oh wow so worky look at all that workiest work, good work - work - "

>>61591317
I'm really considering the R5 to do a build on but the fact it has no dust filter for the top vents puts me off a lot. You can buy some aftermarket ones but you still would expect them to come as standard.

>>61593481
They expect you to use the top as an exhaust, which means you'd just be trapping in dust that's already inside your case if you had a filter.
My Arc Midi R2 has it on top and it's really pointless.

Its absurd how difficult it is to find images where you can compare the sizes of Fractal Design's Mini C vs ATX fractal cases like R5 for example. Anyone got any? I've been thinking of changing to smaller form factor from my R4 but I'm not sure if changing to Mini C is worth it or if I should go straight to Nano S.

because only 12 year olds still but that antiquated shit.... because they can't afford consoles and uncrackable games. so they buy PCs and pirate gaymes.

when it comes to function, I believe FD have the best offer but if you want some style as well, phanteks have some great offers without going full inwin.

So I'm putting a PC together and I've been eyeing this case: Enthoo Pro M Tempered Glass

What do you think?

Also funny story: I've opened my early 2000s PC for the first time in 17 years yesterday and the bottom of the case was literally covered in a layer of thick lint. Harddrive was covered in dust and the case fan had lint stuck to it. Never had any problems though.

Just get a tape measure and use the case dimensions from the product specs.

It's the hard way but you get what you want.

>>61597024

Also where the fuck are the rear I/O cables supposed to go? You have no space at all between the back of the motherboard and the fans.

That Phantecs shit has literally not airflow because the front panel blocks everything

>>61587932
Fractal design define S

Question for peopel with "silent" cases with those removable sound dampening panels on top/front/back/etc. - if you keep them on, does it just drastically raise the temperature?

>>61598504
no.

>>61598636
even at load? i.e. doing video encoding or playing gaymes?

Aside from the RGB shit, what do you guys think of this case? Has 2x 200mm fans at the front.

>>61598690
Those panels usually only go on secondary air vents, on the top for example. I've never seen a case that blocks off the front or back vents, so it should still have plenty of airflow.

>>61589011

Wouldn't red leds be cooler because longer wavelength?

It's big. I wonder what you'd put inside it?

Anything that's not "gaymer" and looks like it could be used inside a professional workplace.

>>61599735
Actually it looks like the Enthoo Primo could manage it if you put 2 HDDs in the 5.25" area. There are only 6 actual HDD trays.

You fool! Everything was fine until you opened the case, looked inside, and collapsed the wave function. You're in for it now.

corsair carbide something or other

I think the Corsair no side window midtower cases like the 200r are really under rated, gorgeous cheap cases.
I bought a p400 and it works awesome with a 360mm rad intake in the front and 140mm rad intake in the back with 2 140mm exhaust fans uptop. Also very impressive for $69.
Other nice shit is the inwin 301, Corsair 400c, that new Silverstone midtower with mesh front panel, phanteks pro

>>61597486
GloFo is shipping volume 7nm 2H18, which will likely mean Ryzen. I've got a 4690k and a R9 290, I'll be fine until then.
