    Thanks for sharing. I think Fractal Design is a good way to go, but I'm worried about those thermals. Anandtech's testing showed the Arc Midi keeping CPU temps @ 56.5 deg.C under load, while the R4 was 68.5 deg.C! I'm thinking this was due to having the front door and upper flaps on the R4...

    Thanks for the additional advice! I've noticed lots of cases (including the Arc Midi R2) have no side vent. I assume that the cpu exhausts out the back of the case? How much impact on cooling does the lack of a side vent have? Thanks!

    Thank you everyone for the responses. Can you completely remove the front panel on the R4 if you don't want it?

    Thanks stalhart for your response. It seems that case has no side vent... so I wonder how it would be with the cpu's air cooler?

    Hi, I think about $150 max, less is preferable. I don't care about size at all... as long as it meets the cooling/expandability requirements. Thanks for your response.

    Hello all, My first post here. I'm going to be upgrading to a new system very soon, and I would greatly appreciate any advice on a case that's affordable with good airflow and space for at least 8 x 3.5" (or 6 x 3.5" and 2 x 2.5") drives. I'm pretty sure I'll be using a card with an ACX (open...
