DEFINE R5

what is better case?
>>
one of these little guys, cooler master elite 110

its ok, i like that it takes a full ATX PSU and has room for a 120mm radiator. Also having mounting spots for 4 3.5" drives shoved in there is pretty cool, even if i only use two 2.5" ones

Id rather be using something even smaller mitx, with a pico PSU or something, but those get really expensive and this was like 20 bucks.

I dont have fond memories of any previous cases, i had a Zalman ZM-T1 that was flimsy and lacked proper venting, a Sugo SG-11b that was a poorly made piece of shit that was not worth its price tag, and i used an old Thinkcenter as a case once and that really wasnt much better.

Currently using an Enthoo Pro. I like it a lot.

Was previously using pic related. Great case for its time, extremely light and with a removable mobo tray. Pretty shit as far as airflow and cable management go. There are dust filters on the front fans, but the case still somehow gets dusty as fuck.

>What Case would you rather be using?
Thinking about getting a Define R5 but I fear it might be too cramped for I'll use it for and the airflow might be worse
>What Case have you used in the past that you have fond memories of?
Had some random case in the mid 00's that served me until 2011 that was pretty nice but I think it's just nostalgia as it was nothing special. I like my HAF X I'm using at the moment but the only things I don't like about it is the side fan sort of rattles when it's under load and it also gets quite noisy when it's under load. It's also heavy as fuck and it doesn't come with any feet to make use of the bottom vents.

I bought the EVGA DG-87 cause it could hold an eATX board and had USB 3.1 Type C front panel connector.

When I opened the box, I instantly hated it. Big and ugly. Like an 90's television. And its not Gen 2 USB 3.1 (whats the point of Type-C then dammit!)

Got a shitty mean:it "5PM" tempered glass case. Its a nice size and has enough room up top to fit a 320mm AIO without getting in the way of my boards vrm heatsink and dimm's.

If anyone in Orange County CA wants a FREE (as in beer) EVGA DG-87 case, let me know.

I don't know the exact model, but it's a Lian-Li solid aluminum full tower in anodized black. It's pretty nice. I think I got it on sale for $90 like 4 years ago. I think I may keep it for my next ThreadRipper build. No real reason to upgrade it. It's still huge and modern.

Corsair 200r.

>>62095675
Dimensions are superior to anything else on the market.

>But muh footprint

Who cares? You need a better desk if that's your complaint. It lays the motherboard flat, so no GPU sag and no cooler stress, dual chambered design separates PSU and drivebays from CPU and GPU heat. 200mm fan mounting option means you can cool an EATX board components while watercooling cpu and gpu. ITX PSU cable length is all that is needed. So no unnecessary clutter.

And the dark mesh blocks off enough off the light from internal LEDs to no longer be blinded by amy LEDs you can't shut off.

It's an underrated case that can't be appreciated until you start building in it.

I just can't put up with mine anymore - not enough room for cables in the back, mobo too close to bays, parallel oriented bays at that. Front fan bearings failed but it's hotglued to fuck, instead of being mounted with screws. We've had some good times together but i think it's time to decomission it.

Lian-Li PC-K56 I got in 2011. I wanted something that didn't look like ricer gaming trash but it doesn't have great airflow and it badly needs a top vent in particular. Setting my hand there feels like it's just short of being hot enough to leave a mark.

I have my file serve in a node 304; it's cute and it doesn't have the gay side window. Why upgrade?

Why hasn't any company made a wooden case? Sure it's gimmicky as fuck but slap some tempered glass on it and I'm sure there would be enough demand from battlestationfags.

This is literally the perfect case.

Using this as well. Pretty happy with it, but I wish it had one more expansion card cutout so I could do dual GPUs without them right next to each other. Still, hard to find any other mATX cases to fit my 240mm radiator and thirteen fans in.

Thermaltake Kandalf LCS (thrift stores are awesome)
>What Case would you rather be using?
Just about anything with cable management.
>What Case have you used in the past that you have fond memories of?
My first "gaymer" case was a Thermaltake Xaser III, I still have it. That thing is nearly 45lbs with parts.
>>
>>62103276
To a certain size yeah, its got a lot of venting and room around the sides and top of the card.

The case is fine except for the shitty front and top filter that are a pain in the ass to clean.
Also the leds can get annoying, sometimes i wish i bought a less g4m3r case desu.
>>
>>62107457
you misunderstand. All those things you listed are still the things you want in a case, turns out the average builder doesn't need more than a single gpu (which can be seen in 90% of the builds in /guts/ threads). AIO coolers are relatively low profile without sacrificing too much in the way of thermals and if you wanted to stick with air cooling there are alot of options below 60mm that can offer performance similar to a 212 evo. Larger capacity ddr4 is pretty accessible and alot of itx cases accomodate for a 3.5" hdd (even atx power supplies).

Silverstone FT01

been running it sideless for a couple of years due to aussie heat

>>62107432
Mine wasn't too bad, it didn't have the window on the side. But It did have something like 12 case fans.

r5, no window
r5, no window and RGB power light
those white metal XPS towers were comfy
>>
>>62107414
Can this thing really have any airflow with a foam block in front of the intake fans?
>>
>>62108139

Have you ever tried to use all 12?

>>62108258

The front panel should have enough holes on the sides so air can come in
>>
>>62106707
if it was damaged I would return it.
if the return was denied I would use purchase protection on my cc.

sucks to be poor

>>
>>62088390
some corsair, i forget the name, 500r maybe?
it's kind of bulky so i guess i could go with something smaler, providing it can fit a long graphics card
i keep a prebuilt dell from the beige era which looks nice, will probably put something in it for funsies eventually

>What Case are you using right now?

Probably a mini ATX version of the Define R5, but I'd need to change my mobo.

Just switched from P400s to Enthoo Pro M. Actually quieter for browsing because it doesn't trap the heat.
Looks saucy as fuck to.
Some of the features are implemented horribly though.
>>
>>62100170
just watch out for the fans/fan controller
i RMAd the controller once, the new one only took a few months to fail powering a fan.
put in an old POS scythe fan controller to take over, didn't swap any fans, running since 3 years with no problem.

Not a single at least a bit attractive case in this thread. It looks like manufacturers are not even trying anymore.
>>
>>62111922
if you want something compact and are willing to spend some bucks.
Check digital storm bolt x.
its not that manufactures can't make impressive one's, but they become so costly their sales won't be able to handle the cost to produce them
>>
>>62094900
Ah, this is my case as well.
For the idiots that claim its ugly.
Go buy a plastic frame and superglue pubes to it.
This is a premium good looking case. Just take away the cooler master emblem and damn its minimal.

I want the LIAN LI PC-D600WB, that way my boyfriend and I can have a single tower on the desk and we can both use the same tower with separate systems. For example, he plays games more than I do, so he'd probably go for a 1080 Ti or something, and I could reuse my current WX5100.
Either that or just using virtualised systems running off a single strong system like unRAID.
We don't know yet, so for the most part we're trying to decide on a way to go.

I bought one these a week ago but I haven't built my new machine yet, waiting for the rest of the components.
I've not opened the box yet and I can't wait to build my new PC.

How does the Regular 750D compare?

I don't have the airflow edition. I believe I can contact Corsair and they can send me the ventilated front panel to convert mine to the Airlfow model.

Im using the S340 Elite and my two previous pcs were Dell precision workstations(T5500, T5610). Great cases but I'm now doing my first water cooling build and I'm torn between the be quiet dark base pro 900 tempered glass, and something like thermalakes new view 71 case. It's gotta be something large, beautiful, and able to support 2 360mm radiators in push/pull, so probably the thermaltake because it's built for exactly that.
