mobo went bad so being the internetscrack addict I am I started the long search and read for new mobo and such. When it came down to a case I just couldnt make up my mind or find anything that hits home. Was wondering if anyone would give me some decent input here.
First the parts going inside of this.
Devils Canyon Core i7 4790K (from what ive read this thing gets real hot)
Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD5H
going cheap on ram here since I set a limit on funds so
Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB DDR3-1600 PC3-12800
Saved a bit on the vid card as well
gforce 960 (fricken thing is huge, major size up from my saphire 3870)
An Antec 650w psu
and finally the cooler
Corsair Hydro Series H60
Ive been lookin for a cube type case or a full tower that is a hair wider then normal, like instead of 9" about 12 or 14"ish.? Who decided that a case has to have just enough room? idk the more I look the more I am starting to think that this is an unrealistic thing to look for unless I want to spend around 600. to a thousand.
Why do I want it wider? Honestly? Mainly for the cosmetics of it :whiste: as well as just room. Most cases I have found have just enough room for a straight up atx board to fit. I dont want just enough room I want space in there. I have a dedicated room for playing in and I have my computer rite in front of me for easy access so space and area are not an issue.
I want silence. I had an old lian li and got these thermaltake fans for it (way back when) and omfg, that thing sounds like a jet engine taken off.
Something with a removable mobo tray and 3.5 hds with mic and speaker as well as a few usb around the lower side of the front.
I was lookin at the
Cooler Master HAF XB EVO Test Bench and LAN Box
but seems it has just enough room for an atx board, most reviews I read state this fact
. But this seems to be the one I am leaning to "settle" for.
And the Cooler Master Core 9 is just too much. That looks like it needs like 1 million fans. Its justa hair too big.
The Aerocool DS looked nice at first then I started reading the reviews. Nope.
Lian Li has a few realy nice boxes but considering I only have around 200. to drop on a case the ones they have that I like are well over that price tage and idk about how quiet they would be. I know they did not consider dbs into the making of it.
The Carbide series from Corsair seem nice but they all have realy mixed reviews and (and I know how this sounds but) call me old school but I just do not liek the idea of my dvd rom being sidewase liek that plus after a long evening of gaming and a few drinks I see that is just an obsticle to double vision. But it does have the usb and mic/speaker jacks up front. So idk
Feel like I am over thinking this too much but it matters. lol Thanks to anyone that got this far reading me.
