| 1420612 | 2016-05-16 06:38:00 | Hi, I'm looking for recommendations for a new case for my current PC. I have an Extended ATX board (ROG Maximus 4) and an Asus OC DCUII 770 GPU and a Hyper 212 Evo CPU heatsink - and 1 each of SSD and HDD. I currently have a Cooler Master Haf X which is massive, heavy, and kinda annoying (I got it second hand for free). So basically I want to get a new case which will fit all my current parts, be lighter, and lower profile - however I would also like a clear side panel. 3 possibles that I'm currently looking at are: Phanteks eclipse P400 Corsair Carbide 400C Corsair Obsidian 750D (might be a bit big, not sure) Does anyone have these cases and can tell me what they're like? Anyone have any other recommendations of cases that fit my requirements? Am I missing something and these cases won't fit my parts? Thanks, Skeptile |

What sort, what design etc is like art - everyone has different tastes. I have a massive, heavy case - mainly cause I did have a super long GPU at the time, but I like the case.....can find no reason to change it now. Not like it gets moved around much anyway. |

| 1420614 | 2016-05-16 22:38:00 | search the internets for some reviews last 2 gamer cases I bought had some serious design issues : eg couldnt remove PSU unless CPU heatsink was removed, issues with very poor thought out HD rails (side of case pressed hard against HD connectors) I hate screwless cases, such a stupid concept. If you are so hopeless that you dont own a screwdriver ...... :) The plastic bits instead of screws often dont work that well . Also , think about if you want a really quiet PC, or if fan noise doesnt bother you . |

| 1420615 | 2016-05-17 01:12:00 | Yea I wasn't really asking what you guys thought of the cases exactly, more just making sure my parts would fit there - I think they should, but it's always good to get a second set of eyes looking at it. And also asking if you had seen any others that would fit what I'm after. 1101 is one of them screwless? I definitely don't want a screwless case... I also don't reeeeally want a "gamer" case - I am looking for a more low profile one. |

| 1420616 | 2016-05-18 13:32:00 | Most new cases are so good nowadays I find I hard to really go wrong. As others have said, Make a list of what you like the look of the most and then from there see what suits your build and what doesn't. | Slankydudl (16687) | ||
