My PC is old and shitty, AMD 4300 quad core processor at 3.8 ghz, Asus 2gb HD 7770 Graphics card, 8 gigs of ram and I don't know what the motherboard is but I guarantee its bottom of the barrel entry level garbage. It plays games like Fallout 4 on ultra well enough but not games like Witcher 3. No joke when I tried the graphics card overheated and I had to get it replaced on warranty. Still it plays games well enough still and I won't upgrade until new games flat out can't run on my system.
>>342259760

I'd be on that like flies on your mom.

Fractal Design Define R4 or R5 is the only correct answer.
>>342259760
Fuck yes, the steam emulated version of Dos Games play like shit compared to playing them on the original hardware. I'd take a pc like that and maybe sink $100 bucks into it for all the compatible upgrades and use it as a retro games machine. Plus I have a bunch of old printers and scanners and the like which would be compatible which aren't compatible with today's hardware so it'd be useful for more practical things too.

I'm using a Rosewill Blackhawk super atx case for no reason other thanfun
Best case I've ever had. Just recently cleaned it after 4 months and it barely had any dust in the case. Had to clean the dust filters with water though. I think it's just a solid allround case with few downsides. I'll use it for a long time.

this has literally nothing to do with vidya, even battlestation threads are more appropriate
>>342259587
This irresponsibly large case.
This thing is fantastic, but only if you bought it for less than $200 like I did. It's original MSRP was fucking insane ($600). You also need to have the hardware to fill it out. Makes it a good NAS/workstation hybrid.
>>342263889
This.
>>342259760
Bro you can crack that shit off for like 10-20 bucks easy. That's a pack of cigs and a churrito. Completely worth.
>>342264114
I have that too. I like it until I have to move it to clean the dust out.
>>342261127
I'm convinced to stick with shoebox cases from now on.
They look good to me, like it could be hi-fi equipment, don't take up a lot of space, and with the mobo laying on the bottom you never have to worry about GPU sag.
I have the original NZXT Phantom, in white.
It has a ton of filters and coolers with it, shit is clean as fuck, too bad it looks horrible and is fucking gigantic. but it was cheap as fuck when i got it so, meh
>>342263513

It's small and cute. And you can fit a normal-sized GPU and a CPU-cooler inside. But it sucks when it comes to cleaning and keeping it cool, especially during the summer, it's packed to the brim ffs

It's a really nice and practical case and a fuckhuge breath of fresh air after the abomination that was the Antec 900 I had before.
Only NZXT case that isn't ricer shit. It's really quiet too.
>>342263513
BROTHER!!
I have one but black. I tend to move around a lot, so the case handles work really well. I also really like the cable management in it as well.
>>342265101
I have the model that follows the one in the picture. I actually had the newer version for a while, but I had to trade it in because I really wanted to keep using Blu-ray discs, and the model of 2015 was meant for digital storage only.
I believe it is cool, and the center of gravity is so well positioned so I know it would be really hard to even tip it over in case an idiot friend visits. It also accomodated by big ass Noctua fan.
I appreciate that it is not black, I honestly grown to hate black cases. Shame I could never buy the white NZXT that matched it. The innard of my Pc look real cool in the BLUE LED light.

Personally, I love it.
>>342266065
Considering "gaming cases" are what allow for water coolers, different fans, GPU clearance etc it pretty directly correlates to gaming performance and an occasional thread is perfectly acceptable.
>>342263513
>>342263513
i have the same one. looks as well, but damn did it cost a lot. 130 or something USD. but its metal, and it should last a long time, right??????
Very spacey! :)
>>342266567
Yeah, I honestly wanted one, but the thing look too big, I mostly run budget stuff.
It is pretty old now, did it come with USB 3.0 ports? Not that it matter you can use the MOBO ones anyhow.

It's called ATX, there thread done. Everything else is shilling for or fapping over completely irrelevant aesthetics. It's not a gaming accessory, a performance component or a monitor, it's just a box to hold your components together, period.

i think big ATX cases are good for first time builders but it really is a waste of space. very few people need cases with such room.
i've used this case for like 5 years or so. i think for my next build, i'm gonna go mATX or ITX. the prodigy cases look cool but I might get a silver NCASE m1

>>342262670
Just bought one of these a few weeks ago. Absolutely fantastic. Easy to work with, cool, and quiet as fuck. It has most of the advantages of a full tower case while still being only slightly larger than the average mid tower.
>>342267364
So what? There constantly threads discussing the aesthetic of consoles. I really don't see what you're problem is.
This thing, Fractal Design Define R4.
It's simple, spacy and actually quite lightweight.
It's also quite sturdy, it's gonna sound careless but I've dropped my computer a couple of times without any noticeable damages.
in terms of aesthetics i haven't seen a single case that looked as good as either ps4 or xb1.
prove me wrong.
side windows are for cucks because that means you have to waste more money trying to get aesthetically matching parts so it looks good internally.
Only case that could fit inside my desk's pc compartment
someone please kill me
>holds my pc components
>big enough to spread them around

ps4 looks cheap and ugly and xbox one looks like a early gen bluray player. xbox one s looks good tho.
>>342270975
>i thinking about just splurging on a 1TB SSD for it. how many spaces for storage is there though? would it have room for 2 SSDs and a 3.5"HDD?
Yes, but it would be a tight squeeze with a full sized video card.
You could do it by mounting the two 2.5" drives on either side of the front section with the rubber screw mounts.
The 3.5" would have to be secured to the floor of the case, but it would be really, really close to touching your video card.
>>342271175
The case I just bought has a tinted window and all of my internal components happened to be black, so you literally can't see shit. It's cool, I guess?
>>342269581
Ito would be proud
>>342271406
ok good to know. i was thinking of getting the 480 for it and i think that card is only like 8-9inches so there'd be a bit more room than normal.
>>342271295
Oh I have the same one.
It's ok.

my nigger, top tier case
Really pretty and sleek. A bit of a nightmare to deal with because it's so compact though. The depth is a little deceiving too in the image, as those graphics cards' cords will press right up against the window. It doesn't seem like much an issue, but a little heat and the cords end up leaving a slight marking.
It also lacks a disc drive which can be a pain in the arse, but only if you need one.

Came with a fuck ton of zip ties though.
I admit I paid a bit for my SilverStone, but I'm loving it. The rotated motherboard design is great and seems to also keep dust to a bare minimum.

Note that the grey in the renders isn't at all what it actually looks like

Gonna make a build with this soon. Has anyone else used it?
Over priced as i Have toship it to NZ from the UK.
Also I found a brand new 980ti for $570 US is that cheap?
>>342275953
Thanks for the tip.
Mines still sitting there beside my bed. I've had my define r2 for years and wanted a new case. It was either the h440, r5 or enthoo pro. i heard the enthoo pro was too loud compared to the other two and also it was a tad big. So in the end it was between the H440 or the R5. Ended up choosing the H440 cause i wanted some variety and because it was on sale. I'll get off my ass one of these days and move over all my shit from my R2 to the H440
>>342277086
Also depending on your mobo's layout you might want to connect your sata cables mobo-end before installing it.
Because mine happen to be right where the fucking cable holes are, so it was a nightmare even with a right angled one.
>>342276487
Apparently the window has a smoky tint, does that not make the internals look more dull? Especially if you've gone to the effort of adding any LEDs.

Check what 1070 prices are like from whatever sellers you use. 980tis should be sub 500 USD by now, if not 400ish. I'd personally recommend waiting for 1070 prices to fall after they've come back in stock.
That said, if you're at 1080p or 1440p, you're not going to feel hard done by with the performance a 980ti gives.
How much are kevlar wrapped wires needed? Been thinking about swapping mine out for non-wrapped ones to get them to be able to go behind the mobo so I don't have hideous unbendable wires showing

Wanted to go to mirco ATX, but would have to replace parts for it to fit.

500 buck*, fuck me
My case is over 10 years old and made of metal. I have trouble fitting in newer graphics cards, but it should keep me going for a while yet

Does your gf actually play games by your side? Cooperatively? Does she actually enjoy it or is it a feigned thing?
My previous girlfriend used to tell me she loved videogames but never liked anything I showed her. She was terrible at the games she claimed to like so I ended up giving the rig to my younger brother some time after we broke up(unrelated to videogames).
Does anyone here use an optical drive in their build?
Are there any cases that have filters I can routinely clean or wipe off like a lint trap?
I have cats so dust and puke is a problem. Cats have twice before puked into the top airhole vents before.

I'm using the 500R myself, but Corsair's shit is top notch regardless.

rip in peace anon

Cases with filters has been a thing for decades.
Dryer sheets are a decent poor-man's substitute, just be sure to change/clean them often.
And cats love warm high spots, so you might want to stack something sizable on top of your case to discourage them from lounging there.

I had that case too but in black, not shiny and chrome. Shittiest case I've ever had, really bad quality.
>>342286762

When I got the case I liked it, but it's just overdesigned by now. I'm thinking I'll pick up something like a bitfenix prodigy or Fractal Design define R4 when it comes time to make a new PC.

Doubt it, what with these days people just buy external optical drives now. Also a lot of people who build with matx/itx cases don't have space for them.
>>342289931
i have one but its disconnected because of all my HARD DRIVES
>>342289931
I have a bluray drive that read and writes for like $10, I needed it to install the OS.

I hate to brake it to you, but that's pretty fucking ricey. Especially with those design cuts, and that white glow or outline whatever the fuck that is. I'm not saying it's a bad case, but you need to learn what Ricing/Ricer exactly means before posting shit. Just having LED's don't make it rice.

Yeah the regular version was black, its the "SE" model that's chrome outside and had some extra features. I still really like the case though, the only problems with it are due to age: front ports are USB 2.0 (because 3.0 didn't exist then - it also has a firewire port which is useless these days), there's no backside motherboard cutout for mounting heatsinks (wasn't a common thing then), and at some point I managed to bust one of the clips holding the side panel so you have to seat it juuust right to get it flush with the case. She's solid otherwise though.

The UR22 is pretty decent. What the fuck do I need amps for making music? Dumbass. I want my sound as flat as possible.
>>342281128
Thanks bro, but it's an UR22.
>>342289794
It's a little bit of both. Girls will be girls at the end of the day. But she enjoys Diablo or diablo likes and MMO's.
>>342265295
Nice, reminds me of the power mac g5's. I'd love to build in one of those things but I can never get my hands on a case
>>342294352
Oh god wtf have they done to that HAFx942
