Hey guys, I'll make a separate thread on that as it's specific. What would be the best case to pick for regular gaming build ( non over the top custom nitrogen cooling madness) ? I had a cooler Master haf for years it worked perfectly, it's 89 CAD. I also have a storm striker but it's above 200 bucks and I don't think it's better. A master box 5 is 90 bucks but a 500P is twice the price, so I wonder what gives ? The NZXT are all around 100 CAD or below. I'm lost lol
NZXT is hit or miss. They sometimes make a nice case with great features for cheap, but sometimes the towers dont have things lined up right and feel extremely cheap and flimsy. This one would be nice though: https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146198 Cooler Master is fine, but I personally dont like their styling these days. They make both great cases and below average cases, but I have never had a Cooler Master I would call bad. Corsair makes quality cases and their Carbide seriesa has become a standard for people looking for a cheap case that has all the features. This is one of their most commonly sold cases: https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139018 I have two of those and they are nice. They have plenty of fan spots but are nothing extra special. I have really been liking Phanteks cases lately. They seem very well built for their price and they look very nice to me. I have one of these in black and red: https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811854046 You can also just re-use your current case since some parts are bad and being tossed away anyway.
Oh nice thanks, yeah the phantek look awesome. Saw that one in a video : https://www.amazon.ca/Phanteks-PH-E...570&sr=8-1&keywords=Phanteks+Enthoo+Evolv+ATX it looks superb. So i guess i'll go for the Eclipse ! I'll keep my CM for the home PC version (it's hidden behind the home theater speakers as the case is huge lol).
I absolutely love my Coolermaster Mastercase series is the best thing I think they have done. Do not go for the MasterBox line its crap and I mean crap. Master case series normally comes with massive intake fans on the front, and then also has a top that you can put more fans in or you can run your watercooling through. I know this doesn't seem like this is important but you can pull it apart almost completely by hand. Big points for me cause I clean mine often.
