jehurey 3,228 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 LED fans are just annoying. LED anything on a PC is annoying, except one small light to indicate if a PC is on or in sleep mode. I'm trying to find the right case. I absolutely love Fractal's design, but I want this case to be mid-ATX. But I'll have to wait until the new CPUs come out, which will determine what type of motherboard I can get, and how big the Ampere video cards are going to be. There's no real reason to have 5.25" drive bays, and I still have regular hard drives, but I may think about moving that data around to one large external drive.

jehurey 3,228 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 I think this is the PC case that I am going to settle on. $89.99 - $10 = $79.99 They have the Fractal Define 7, and its almost double in price, but..........I just don't fucking need a PC that big. Don't need 14 drive bays. I technically don't like having a side glass, but this is at least dark tinted, so I won't be seeing much inside. And, quite importantly.............no stupid LED bullshit. The Define 7 did have one USB-C 3.0 port, but I don't really need such a port when I already have USB 3.0 A-to-C cables. If I could, I'd remove the Fractal logo. The case can fit any video card up to 12.4", and I checked most of the high-end nVIdia cards, and none of them exceed 12 inches. So I'm hoping that the Ampere video cards will be under 12 inches. I'm also thinking about the Cooler Master Silencio S400 or S600 because they really do seem like slick minimalist PC enclosures Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jehurey 3,228 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 (edited) Actually I just came across this one. This might be a dark horse, it looks really clean. Edited April 24, 2020 by jehurey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Newmanspwn 52 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 http://www.phanteks.com/Enthoo-Pro-M-TemperedGlass.html Used this in my most recent build. Love it except that the power button is on top and sometimes my cats jump on my case and will land on the button and turn off the pc. Shouldn't be a problem if you put your pc on your desk or if you don't have a small animal that will jump on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RIP my love Same here. I bought a GALAXY (now GALAX) GTX 560 in 2012. I was running on a AMD Phenom II X4 3.0GHz CPU with 8GB of DDR3 Hyper-X RAM. The GPU didn't last more than 2 years before the shroud broke off, but I continued to operate it with it taped-up for the most part until I finally upgraded all my PCs. Last I messed with that GTX 560 I put a NZXT AIO on the old GPU, it was the first time I water cooled a GPU, I brought it out with intentions to use it for GPU mining a couple years ago, but the GPU is too old and slow now.

Of those 3 you posted, the Fractal Design meshify case look the most fashionable. That Corsair case looks like it's trying to be a NZXT S340 Elite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Especially if it's the 6GB version. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
