Looking to upgrade my current case to something that have the next options

Hardware Hub Cases / Chassis

Hello guys and girls, i hope you are having a nice day.
So, i decided to look for a case to upgrade from my NZXT Source 210. Great budget case but i want a something a little better.

Some information that might help:

Form factor: I'm open to suggestions on form factor.

Requierements for the case: quiet, it needs to have good dust protection and easy to carry or move, cooling options either for air or watercooling i would like some day to make a water cooling loop but it's not neccesary at all, easy to work on it. And i think that's all i can think of atm.

Budget: I'm thinking under 70 usd. I don't want to spend a lot. I want something that can give me the best price/performance (if it applies to cases :p).

Thanks for reading :slight_smile:

I've seen good reviews for that case. Seems to fit with your needs, not sure about carrying it though.

If these are the wrong price I'm sorry, I'm going on English prices.

Oh yeah the good old S340 x) Alright so far the Zalman Neo i think it's a little bit more expensive than the MasterBox, i really like more the CM case and it's more cheaper the bad thing it's no fans on the top, no a big deal regarding the problems i have with dust.

So far, it's between S340 and MasterBox.

So, I'm sort of ignoring your price range here, but I'm totally in love with my case here:

Does it have to be reeeeally silent? Because Phanteks P400 is a beautiful $70 case.

Thanks for the suggestions i would look on some reviews from them :slight_smile:

@ImprovizoR really silent not so much but enough to no hear too much the hdd or some of the fans. Thats the problem of my case, i dont have problem with the fans but my hdd makes some noise.

I was looking the P400 because it has great cooling potential and dust protection also a lot of room to work

So the Phanteks P400S? It's the P400, except with some sound dampening panels.

Or the P400S with a tempered glass window for the same price?

wow that is a great looking case for that price.

I will support the Thermaltake option...

Well, just offer F31 as an option...
Or not... Damn, Thermaltake are WAY cheaper in Europe, are you kidding me? 90$ for F31...

Anyways, if I have to buy case for myself, meaning spend my own money, I would spend them for this thing of beauty...

It us not "silence optimized", but my current case isn't either, and 99,9% of the time runs under 20dBa... So it's all about setting your fans.

As an interesting side-note: I purchased my f51 for about 90€ due to some discount :slight_smile:

Sexy little thing. If I didn't already have my sweet Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 I'd be all over that.

16

I would have strongly recommend MY sweet Arc Midi R2, but it's 90 something freaking dollars.. And Fractal Design still haven't made a better case IMHO...

Thanks for the suggestions guys i think i'm going to settle for the Phanteks P400 either the normal or the S version depending of how much i can save. Really nice case and it has most of the features i'm looking for :smiley:
