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!
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...
