ITT post your case, give one negative about it.
Can't use radiators without custom modding.
What kind of modding? If you mean taking off the fan grates, that isn't really a big deal...
FT02b.
No modding required.
>>54790621
Why would you want hot air blowing into your case?
I don't have the guts yet to see how problematic air flow is.

TJ08B-E, metal is too thin. Otherwise it's nice to work in for its size.
>>54790792
Seriously, that's like $500 worth of water cooling.
no fan included
>>54790411
Can't you just use a 120mm AIO on the rear fan grate?
PowerMac G5
Only two 3.5" bays
>>54790807
That brushed aluminium look on gpu is sick
Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ITX

Looks good
Quiet
Con:
Said fan is noisy
No glass version
Only 2 3.5" bays
9/10
>>54791183
they made a glass version, both side panels are completely tempered glass.
lia li D600
space is tight as fxxx
had to cut the back to allow airflow from the radiator
no holes in bottom to alow air to the psu (had to cut that aswell
harddrive caddies shittly designed (yep you've guessed i had to mod one of them
took 3 months to arrive
>> sorry i'm off to bed so listed all the negatives in one post :p
>>54791496
Only the atx version, from what I know. I was thinking about get the matx version but acrylic sucks.
Raidmax Hyperion.
Not enough airflow in the back to vent harddrive heat. I had to move one to the mount at the bottom of the main area under the GPU otherwise they run about 42C. Now they are back down to 32C. Bad thing is they didn't think out the spacing for the bottom mount and if you want a fan and an HDD its possible but the cabling for the Hard drive will be extremely tight fit. it slightly pushes up on the connectors. I should probably not do that but oh well.

>>54790807
That card sag tho
Enthoo pro
Very well rounded, but the shipping us garbage, I had to send back my first case because the front panel was completely destroyed, it's a common problem
>>54791183
You forgot one major con about that case
>PSU cover severely impedes airflow on the GPU
They should have gotten rid of that useless removable top radiator mount and added a third PCI slot to give the graphics card more airflow.
>>54791643
But then people would say, "why not add a 4th slot and make it mATX?"
>>54791661
You could probably fit a mATX in there if you do some modding
GPU air-cooling is subpar.
>>54791661
They should just elevate the entire motherboard by the 5mm that the removable radiator mount takes up.
Seriously, whoever came up with that idea should have his arms removed and fleas put into his underwear.
>pull rack out mount the radiator to the rack
>move rack back into position, only to realize that it blocks access to your top CPU waterblock screws
>remove rack and put waterblock in place
>have to put rack back in because the tubing is too short
>can't put it in a quarter of the way without the thng getting in your way again
>remove radiator from rack, leave rack in place, mount waterblock and then attach radiator to rack in its mount
>defeats the purpose of having it removable
Fitting in a 540x180mm rad is literally two cuts with a dremel. The case also comes with adapters that let you fit a 360x120mm rad no problem.
>>54790711
>hot
Air coming into the case is no more than a few degrees above ambient. Even with my CPU, NB/VRMs and GPU water cooled and overclocked intake air was barely even warm.
NZXT Phantom 410
Fantastic case, but the outside plastic parts are impossible to clean effectively because even without being touched they get this weird texture over time.
Have to remove both side panels and the front bezel to clean the front dust filter
>>54791837
Kek
I had to build a case using a bigger version of this >>54791805
The front filter could only be removed by removing the bottom intake filter, any device in the 5.25" bays, and then the entire front panel so you can pull the filter out.
Literal retards at NZXT make you remove your optical drive, fan controller, or whatever else you put in those bays just so you can clean the front filter. And no, vacuuming from the front grill doesn't work very well.
>>54791883
Jeez, its that bad? I was considering the bigger version because I just have a thing for large cases. The front access on the 410 is piss easy, just pull it right off.
Move over plebs, the best case on the market is here. The only possible improvement would be to make the top something like the front, eliminating the need for moduvents.
>>54791922
It's that bad. My client wanted to put a 5.25" bay reservoir for his cooling loop. We couldn't do it because of that because he wanted to keep his front filter on.
>>54791922
I've never cleaned the larger case, but I've owned probably 20 different NZXT cases over the last 10 years. Every few cases has a design choice that just blows my mind from its stupidity.
>>54792122
That's a huge shame, oh well.
>>54792117
Should have included a magnetic dust filter for the top like on the Enthoo Pro M, and an actual metal front panel option.
![maxresdefault[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/Qw6BBEC.jpg "maxresdefault[1].jpg")
>>54790411
Not very small for a mITX case.
Anyone ever use a corsair 750d? Considering this case for my first build. Haven't heard any major negatives.
Fractal Arc Midi R2
Only flaw with it is that none of my friends will buy one when they're looking for a build and ask me for advice
>>54792196
I really dont see a reason for a full tower nowadays unless you are running a dual GPU setup.
Enthoo Evolv Atx
Pros:
Aluminum
Cool Desgin
Easy to build in
Cable Managment is a breeze
PSU cover
Doors are easy to take off
Cons:
No windowless option
Mounts(forgot name) where gpu goes are white on a black chassis
Airflow could be better, although not bad
>air 240
~~~pro's~~~
Plenty of room and airflow
Decent cable routing options
6 drive bays
~~~con's~~~
Window is shit quality plastic that looks foggy even when clean
top/bottom fans mount to slots rather than holes, weak
Does anyone ITT own one of these? How is it? I'm thinking of getting it for my Zen build.

Fractal Design Define R4
The only con of this thing is that it's huge.
>>54792488
That's what she said.
>>54792451
Front airflow in it is shit because of that "sound deadened" front panel, and yet if you mount top exhaust/intake fans on it, it completely defeats the purpose of the sound deadening. Window is small as shit and you don't get nearly enough room in the back for effective cable management.
Build quality is also a bit iffy.
>>54792528
I'm not going to do anything really intense with it. Just a midrange Zen CPU and two low power-consumption GPUs (for pci passthrough and optional crossfire).
>give one negative about it
The real Web site is gone, and I don't like that the inside is always cold. fucking spooky.

G4 Quicksilver case.
Some modding required.
>>54792764
I hope you used a broken G4
>>54792117
Why don't the doors open left handed? Is there a reason because it seems like an oversight every fucking manufacturer does.
>>54792839
You can switch the direction on the R5.
Still suckin off the dead tit of old Steve.
not enough filters
BitFenix Prodigy M. came with blue leds for power and hdd indicators, wtf?
>>54790411
>>54792856
I bought some extra to use with my Air 540.
http://www.demcifilter.com/default.aspx
They're much higher quality than the OEM ones from Corsair.
DIY n8 white, nice small case. Con: I can't put an optical drive. Supports up to 120mm fans on the top or front of the case. Liquid cooling :p
Bitfenix Phenom M(ini-ITX)
> Solid side panel (air from GPU coolers bounce back inside case)
> White colour experiences discolouration (yellowish marks appear over time)
> Side panels not full secure resulting in a humming noise and the panel vibrates against the case
>>54792956
Decent case for a Mini atx mobo
Corsair Vengeance C70
The adorably Military-ish side panel latches are quite loud sometimes, almost startling. That's probably just an issue with myself, though.
>>54792856
Quick and easy fix.
Buy 3mm-thick 120mm fan gaskets and cut a 120x120mm square of pantyhose. Remove the fan, stick gaskets to the case, and tape/clip the pantyhose over the intake of the fan. Mount fans again over gasket.
Voila, all intakes are filtered and vibration free.
Suck it, Corsair.
Corsair 750D
For the price it should have rubber grommets for an external radiator, instead it has punch out holes which for this price is kinda sad.
Would also like the option for a tempered glass side panel, but it's far too cheap for that.
>>54792956
Does look like a 410 nzxt and is way cheaper also.
>>54793105
>>54792956
Isn't that the DIYPC case that had fan controllers that set themselves on fire?
>>54793137
no, i made sure about this before i actually fucking bought it.
>>54790411
>Can't use radiators without custom modding.
You can remove two of the 18cm bottom fans and mount a 36cm res and rad.
NZXT S340
I wish the bottom had a side window with the light up NZXT logo.
Besides that it's a great case.
Thermal take Level 10 GT snow edition
fans sometime grate against the case making an annoying noise
Lian-Li PC-V33.
I wish the top section had one more exhaust fan mount.
PC-a05
Needed to cut some holes for more ventilation so my 570 didn't cause a house fire, use a different card now.
>>54793413
Put rubber washers between to space the fans out a hair.
>>54793038
are there any "military" cases actually out there? i dont mean aesthetics. i mean thick as fuck metal, durable as hell and meant to last a long time. like east to clean slide in air filters and shit

>>54790411
CM Storm Stryker
if you want the hard drive bays rotated so the cables are hidden, you have to let the front fans rotate 90 degrees and pull air in through the side, which is less than ideal. Did not think that one through.
I was stupid enough to buy it.
>inb4 >>>/v/
>>54792488
>huge
And shockingly heavy.
>>54793961
From what I felt, that case is pretty durable. It does have cutesy military-like gimmicks like the reset button being under a plastic shield and the panel removal latches are like ammo boxes, but out of all of the cases I've handled I would say that this one is pretty good.
What is the small itx case to be soon for 1070/polaris?
Just ordered this. opinions?
https://www.nzxt.com/products/s340-white
>>54796630
Pretty good acquisition.
>>54796632
As long as /g/ approves
>>54793961
>are there any "military" cases actually out there?
Yes, but they are either actually meant for the military or they are part of the server market. Both are extremely expensive.
>>54796630
Ikea/10, the top fan grill clashes with the aesthetic they're going for. I also hate that they don't make a windowless version.

Ncase M1 v2
Some gpus don't fit if they're too tall, a max height of 140mm.
So most the new 1080s won't fit.

Fractal Design R4.
>The fucking screws to access the PCI slots are sort of recessed under the lip of the case, meaning that you have to screw at an angle.
>The air filters are kind of shitty and annoying to take out and clean
Both of these things have been fixed on the R5. Gotta give it to FD, they put some real thought into their case design. Built like a brick shithouse, and has tons of room/modularity.
>>54797000
>screw at an angle
Only if you have a short blade.
And no, they did not fix it in the R5.
I know this because I pulled a card from one yesterday.
Incidentally, the Fractal Core and Node series do not have this problem.
Still using a Define R2, fan filters are shitty to clean.
Corsair 250d
Zip tie tiedowns are in all the wrong locations.
>>54796715
I think AIOs or custom loop is just the way to go for the Ncase. Don't bother with air.
I'll probably order the Dan A4 but somehow I doubt I'll end up using it. Heat seems to be a bigger issue rather than less of one with each generation.
>>54792926
love it
what mb is that?
about >>54791510 who else uses padding under their cases feet to stop vibration? and what material do you use
the handle could of been made out of metal, apart from that, its pretty rad.
Antec P183
It's too big. Lots of empty space in it. The top vent is a useless dust trap. But it's easy to work with and reasonably quiet.
>>54792488
>holes in side panel
>not a con
Roomy af, but cheap build quality. The thumbscrews need a screwdriver sometimes.
LianLi PCV351
Pros:
>cool shape
>horizontal position of mobo helps with cooling
>i like the position of the optical bay
Con:
>have to undo like 6 tiny screws just to gain limited access to inside
>position of drive bays makes cable routing a bitch
>cable routing in general is a bitch
>need stupid ass screws just to mount the drives
>>54790840
does it even have space to mount a fan?
i think the PSUs exhaust fan should be able to handle such a small space.
>>54791183
>No glass version
thats awesome
>>54791510
do you need those special screws with the rubber bits to get the drives installed?
>>54792451
I had to build 2 systems for a friend and his brother. one case was some 150$ Antec and the other was a 100$ Corsair and the Corsair was a lot easier to deal with.
>more slack on the io panel wires
>standoffs were already installed
>better size and position of cable holes
>the middle standoff has a little nub on it so once you drop the board in it will be held in place while you fetch the other screws
>less annoying to deal with than the Antec in almost every way imaginable
>dont need any tools or easy to lose bits to install drives
>has 4hdd bays which provides more room for large gpu
>side panels only require a single thumbscrew
>i didnt have to twist and break off the expansion slot covers
TLDR very pleasant to work with the Corsair and Antec sucks dick!
>>54792899
con: that case is played the fuck out and takes as much space as some mATX cases.
>>54793427
>>54793432
do you hate having to deal with all the scews as much as i do?
>>54793038
that red and grey button look really easy to accidentally press.
Putting the top and side panels back on this case is a complete PITA.
node 804
no cons lol
>>54798687
>>do you need those special screws with the rubber bits to get the drives installed?
yep they need rubber grommets,
the worst bit is where the fan sits in front of the cables , i'e sata and sata power is way to tight, i had to cut a hole, then add a plastic insert to stop the cable being cut by the aluminium hole and i only had one plastic insert from an old psu that's why the top bays haven't been sorted yet (plus i couldn't find another hinged bay door for less than 190.09 US Dollars £130 if britfag)
as you can see from this pic the birds nest of cables that need tidying,
i just haven't had the time to sort them out, i will do, but the system works plus i'm debating whether to buy a newer psu for the EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Classified ACX 3.0 i'm thinking of getting (i've a corsair ax850 at the mo with braided cables) it looks tidy the side where my components are and that's all that matters at the mo
don't get me wrong, i love it, but it isn't the dogs danglies they make it out to be, it's quiet weak and wouldn't take much to damage
>>54798715
surprisingly, no. They require a lot of force to push down, and the grey button is actually a yellow and black striped button behind a little plastic shield you have to lift up to press.
Only major gripe is I can't take the top optical drive bays out. They're soldered on.
The top has a magnetic case filter that gets damaged if poorly maintained and the cuts result in loud vibrating whines.
Got the airflow front panel coming in the mail soon so we'll see.
>>54792899
Is there a mod for the bitphoenix prodigy case that allows for stronger handles? I would love to get one. Also I heard that air flow is a problem as well, is it?
>>54790411
h8 1549 (no pic, google the model number)
Has no space whatsoever for wire management
>>54800091
The airflow panel is pretty nice, a bit of a bitch to get set properly sometimes, but a minute or so of fiddling is enough to set it right.
(my 750D >>54793075)
>>54800201
Woah nice! What'd you do for the side panel design? I'm thinking of starting to make mine more A E S T H E T I C instead of just cheap with good cable management.
>>54800242
I had a local engraving shop do it, it was pretty cheap, $40-50. I live in a pretty big city though so i'm not sure how common those are.
And yeah, I found the 750D was solid for internal cable management. Would not mind building in it again.
>>54800273
World of a difference between ours. I've really gotta get a new modular PSU.
>>54800323
Yeah, a modular PSU and some time routing everything cleanly can really help the guts look much nicer.

Fractal Define R3:
The psu airflow grate is designed for a short ass psu, and as a result longer higher power psu's will have their airflow heavily impeded by the design flaw.
>>54792952
fucking demciflex man. I made adjustments to my define R3 to fit those for the front intake. I have to clean those fuckers out every week, the only downside is I can't fit it on the top portion where the shitty pointless 5.25" bays are, so I still take in dust from there.
>>54800528
I bought 2 for my Air 540 and they fit flawlessly. I didn't have to adjust for anything.
>>54797387
I'm allergic to pump noise, and occasionally fly with my pc so AIOs are a no-go.
Same here, I've got a C7 so I can build in as soon as I get it, but I'm not sure if I will.
My hangup is noise though.
Building in this next week
Cons: expensive
Gets dusty pretty quickly.
Fractal Design Define Nano S:
Only fits dual slot cards and even then there's only a few mm between the card and the PSU
>>54794060
That case a shit, m8.
>looks good
No.
>wide as fuck
How is that good if the cable management is a pain in the ass because of shitty engineering
>unique and easy drive installation
Every drive is easy to install.
Not a whole lot going for it and it looks like a knock-off transformer from mainland China.
But don't worry because I'm currently using pic related.
Pros. hmmm. It's pretty durable all aluminum, I guess. Got it for 30 burgers.
Cons. No dust filters except for some bullshit screen on the front and psu cover. It's shit for cable management but I was able to do an ok job. Had to cut drive bays to get a 970 in there. No room for any kind of rad. Tight as fuck and annoying to work with. Front I/O is attached to the panel sucks when you need to clean the panel and fan. No USB 3. Dust collects in it because just honeycomb holes everywhere. It's ugly as fuck.
Building a new rig soon with a more knowledge and experience so i'll be getting a decent case. I hate that I thought "It's just a case to house the important bits. It doesn't matter" because it fucking does. Fuck this thing.
>>54801188
Thats what i'm looking at getting. It's high on the list. All buyers rationalization aside how do you think it will fare? I was thinking about getting the full ATX with the tempered glass sides.
Cooler Master Elite 110
- extremely tight, cable management is nonexistent, enough space for decent parts, fits on a little corner on my desk
NCase M1
My only complaint at this point is that it's not easier to remove the bracket the radiators sit on. A snap in/out style like the side panels would be cool, instead of screws. But I won't complain as I don't remove it often.
>>54801142
Whether or not they fit by default varies by case design. In my instance I had to cut off the original fan filter mesh (which was also non-removable without taking out the entire fan, making it largely pointless) and some other extruding parts that served no purpose, and stick on magnetic brackets that came with them in their stead. It was definitely a worthwhile investment given the amount of dust that would otherwise be entering my system.
>>54801470
dam that case and loop are nice
>>54801470
What about the fact that you have to put components outside the case?
In Win 805
Little space behind mobo tray, limited fan options.
>>54802496
Can you fit 2x120mm fans in the bottom?
>>54801351
Invest in some paracord, heat shrinks, and a heat gun. Make that back look pretty with some cable combs and mounts.
>>54802420
Originally, I was very opposed to the idea of having my reservoir outside the case. But, considering it takes up no more foot print that the power cable and other cables going to my case, I don't really mind. Plus, I can set the case upside on a table edge and easily drain the entire system by opening the 45-degree fittings on the top of the reservoir.
>>54802619
What fan are those? I want to say Fractals HPs, but they don't have the ridge on the leading edge of the blades.
>>54802631
They're Noctua NF-F12's.
>>54802571
Yes, and I did, but it means you cannot fit any 3.5" drives any longer.
>>54792366
I thought this was a CRT monitor from the thumbnail.
![10242858[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/lepNSHL.jpg "10242858[1].jpg")
The colored window and the fan built in to it are going to obscure any view of the insides that I might have had.
Otherwise the fact that it came with 5 fans and a temperature display make it perfect.
-Cons
>Only one included SSD tray when there are like 4 different mounting spots for the tray.
>Top bracket can only support 2 140mm fans despite being able to use 3 120mm with plenty of extra room.
>Top cover and front cover are made of a cheap bendy plastic. It looks good because it has a finish that makes it look as though it's the same metal used everywhere else but you'll notice right away.
Other than that it's the perfect case. Those points are me nitpicking super hard.
>>54804019
You forgot to mention that the case is fucking disgusting.
Enthoo Primo
The back side isn't dust filtered.
Yes, that's the worst thing I can think of. It's a testament to how fucking good this case is - if you want a big case for a watercooling loop, this is it.
>>54804433
Oh shit, I just remembered - the actual worst thing is that you have to do a little cutting if you want to fit 480 rads in the floor.
More space behind the mobo would have benn great.
No handlers to move it around since it's really big
More quick swap HDD bays instead of that many 5.25 bays
I have a Fractal Design Arc Midi
Pros:
>Solidly built
>Removable HDD cage to fit big GPUs
>Very roomy, easy to install parts, has enough space for cable management
Cons:
>After lugging it around a lot over the years the side panels are bent a bit out of shape
>No sound dampening
>The included case fans are very loud
>The fans in the front touch the case, causing it to vibrate loudly
I put in some dampening mats, put rubber around the front fans to stop the vibration and changed the case fans.
I'm still going to get a new case when I upgrade my mainboard and CPu because this one's really banged up by now.
>>54790696

This sums it up pretty well actually.
Colorsit something - terrible cable management. Three or four non padded holes for cables, two of which are behind the motherboard making it unusable.

unless you have ample desk space, it's way too big.
no air flow.

>working in it is a breeze.
That's my favorite thing about this case. It's nowhere near as premium or as good looking as my old FT02, but god fucking damn is it so much easier to work with.

I've been thinking of getting this since it seems to be the best horizontal motherboard/dual chamber case, plus the glass window is sex. I can see why they wouldn't put a fan mount on the top, both for aesthetics and how it would be a pain to open and close with it there. The thing I don't understand though is
>Front fans are 120mm when 140mm looks like it would fit fine, maybe they're too wide.
>Only four drive slots. Even two slide in mounts stuck to the bottom of the motherboard tray for SSDs would cover 99% of use cases, having only four seems restrictive.
>Drive air intake not filtered.
By the way if you're still in the thread how does it look in real life? There's not many videos on it and I'm wondering if it would look too big on my desk.

Your safest bet would be getting one with a blower style cooler like the founders edition

Why do you have a Microwave as a case?
Everyone has it/stock window scratches too easily
>Top USB ports are garbage
>Way too heavy
>A lot of stuff with modern design features is not present, since it is a case from like 2010.
>Cable management is not great.
On the plus side, the air flow is amazing and the amount of space it has allows me to install shit effortlessly. I will probably go with something smaller next time I do a build, although I was debating swapping it out for a smaller case.

great case for the price but is garbage at cable management

That is hugely ironic, seeing as how Silverstone has been pushing their revamped 240mm AIO cooler pretty aggressively. Only a few of their cheaper cases support them and their air cooler selection is mediocre.

I can't decide if I want this, or the 304.
Corsair Carbide 500r.
Only real complaints are that it's fuck huge, and doesn't dampen HDD noise well enough.
TJ08-E
If you use the original HDD rack then, well, just look at it.
I got a 2x5.25 bay to 3x3.5 adapter to put my drives in instead, but because of the placement of the PSU I can only fit two drives in.
But that's what fileservers are for.

literally no option for liquid cooling, but who gives a fuck

>can't take out front intake dust filters without removing side panel and unscrewing shit
>front headphone/usb header is loose after mild use, requires a USB pass through to back of motherboard to work
>cannot fit any size GPU without removing factory fan, and clipping the acrylic mount from side panel
>standoff screws came with barely fit, ended up stripping a mobo screw completely trying to get the damn thing to work
>no place to mount 2.5 inch drives without them hanging freely
>most powersupplies have to be installed upsidedown because someone designed this case without noting the cases' psu fan orientation.
>only two cable management holes in the entire build
>factory normal screws are shitty as fuck, the only screws that work are the factory thumbscrews
>led lighting control header loose
>top 120 mm fan loud as fuck, unshielded from the inside
God, I hate this case so much.
Aerocool ds cube, has absolutally no front airflow even though it has mounts for fans there, with the front of the case on the vents are completely cut off, have to have the side panel off for air. ordered a corsair 600q last night since thats what my next build is going to be in so mi might as well transfer this build into the new case and slowly replace it.
Not at home but Corsair Obsidian 250d
Cable management is a bitch. There's no good way to route the power supply cables. They just sit flat in the front and block part of the air flow of the front fan

What are your temps like? I've been dreaming of doing a wc N Case build for a while.
Supermicro SC836
Only complaint is that I can't fit a GPU with power connectors on top
