I need a recommendation Sup Forums. No fucks given. I'm sick of not finding valuable answer anywhere I look for.
I just need a decent or good quality PC case.
I don't if I should either pick miniATX, mid tower or full tower
I currently have a high tower case. I use my rig mostly for 3D renders and video editing (it's my job), so cooling is important. But I sometimes have a doubt about really needing a high tower thats expensive and doesn't save space either...
I have one of these, they are brilliant for cooling and obviously have plenty of space whilst not costing too much

Fuck you Sup Forums
Fuck every single one of you.
Christian Sanchez
Are they noisy?
Isaac Long
There's not such thing as mini-atx.

> I use my rig mostly for 3D renders and video editing (it's my job), so cooling is important. I ran a small BTC farm once in Antec Eleven Hundred case, then I moved it to a simple chink $30 case. Definitely temps were a little bit higher, but 100% fan in Afterburner does more than any expensive case. I'd say that the space between two videocards is what matters the most.
Parker Adams
The standard fan in the rear and top were a bit, I replaced with noctuas and its really quiet now
Bentley Roberts
I own a 750d. good case. I assume the 350d should be equivalent in quality. my only problem is that one of the front panel fans rattles sometimes but I'm going to change those at some point anyway. I can vouch for corsair overall.
good cooling on micro atx AND mini itx (not sure which you meant) are possible but the latter might be more of a challenge. I'd recommend a mATX case in your case.
fractal design has some well made, well designed cases you might be interested it. look into the define series.
Michael Hall
antec p180 or p280
I have both and they are nice. solid, heavy cases. Cant recommend them enough.
OP here. Thanks for the advice you all, I'll finally be able to review and chose one now.
Levi Stewart
this or the Deepcool Tesseract WH depending on how much you want to spend and what you need.
Isaiah Evans
Sadly in the same boat, most people just care about looks and not about cooling. Asked several times, all I get is people talking about how X case looks sick.
In answer to your question, I am not sure if a small case will work because I am assuming you will want a good cooler. The best air coolers will require a full tower. I personally don't wish for liquid cooling due to it being too much of a risk, I want my computer to be reliable. Currently the best I am aware of, which is more limited than I would like, is the Thermaltake Core X9. It doesn't do any favors in size, but sounds great for cooling.

>The best air coolers will require a full tower. Is this some new retarded meme? You can't seriously be this fucking retarded...
Alexander Rivera
Please, enlighten me. The Noctua NH-D15 is the best air cooler. How do I fit it in a mini-ATX?
Noah Walker

Jordan Cruz
what is the best full atx case? airflow is a top priority, dont care about noise. dont care about price.
Nathaniel Baker
the S model is the best and i guess that you dont
Gabriel Powell
mini-ATX does not exist. Buy the NH-D15S and a case that's wide enough, you fucking retard.
Any case, just get those black Noctua industrial fans. Full tower vs mid tower makes no fucking difference for airflow.
the only thing that matters is that the case is wide enough so you can put the side panel back on again.
Adam Gonzalez
I have the Thermaltake f51. Its fuckhuge but it is very well made and has tons of fan slots. I have 8, all set to intake, except for 1. All run on low, so it's nice and quiet. I do wish it was smaller, but I will never outgrow this thing. Dual Xeons will probably end up as my next build anyway.
Ryan Gomez
>the only thing that matters is that the case is wide enough so you can put the side panel back on again. Confirmed retard, no idea what airlfow even means I would guess
Ethan Lee
The fans that come with the NH-D15 are 1500 rpm. The fans you can buy are 1200 rpm. So that second fan is still less efficient than a NH-D15.
Gabriel Reyes

Zachary Richardson
I have an Enthoo Pro M, no windows, 80 bucks. no complaints, good airflow, good dust catchers. would buy again/10
Dominic Adams
>bigger case = better airflow
Is this bait? I honestly can't tell at this point.
Jacob Scott
I fit a D15 into a CM 690II. That's a mid tower. And it's even a bit more narrow than cases usually are today. No problems.
Christian Gutierrez
i build a pc with a fractal design define C, its tight as fuck but completely silent , with a shadow rock LP / gigabyte gtx 1060, i can shill you that ,if you found a bigger version maybe.
Ryan Cook
The one you posted is pretty nice, OP
Blake Adams
I always get full tower because it's comfier to build, but a mid tower is good enough for 90% of use cases
>miniATX only if you know what you're doing or you're going to end up with an annoying leaf blower on your desk
Jacob Adams
Buy the 3000rpm noctuas then Best efficiency without question Top of the line Best of the best
Luis Barnes
>miniATX >you know what you're doing
Josiah Walker
mini-ATX cases are for hipsters who put them in huge empty American Psycho tier "muh minimalism" rooms and then pretend it was for "space efficiency".
Oliver Young
I like this miniATX discussion thread Would you recommend miniATX to a first time builder
Aiden Young
That's a terrible place for a desktop
Chase Price
>>miniATX >>only if you know what you're doing >literally nothing is different except you have to use a mATX mobo
mini-ATX does not exist
Logan Turner
Where can I buy a miniATX motherboard
Charles Edwards
kek
Buyers remorse?
Nathaniel Richardson
Nice in speed... but the problem is they are 120mms. That means they need a lot more power just to get to the same place a 140mm can.
Luke Perry
Only if you live in a closet. Otherwise get a normal sized case.
Leo Butler
just take a regular ATX mobo and cut off the bottom third
Juan Long
where exactly are your fans going? mars?
Gavin Gutierrez
But bigger fans have more inertia, which is a property of matter, making the extra mass less performance
Angel Davis

Kevin Parker
120mm 3000rpm fans are best and also most efficient because power/weight ratio
Blake Long
>but I sometimes have a doubt about really needing a high tower thats expensive and doesn't save space either...
I have a Micro ATX case, specifically the Fractal Design Define Mini C (definitely recommended). I wouldnt say it was any less expensive than a mid or full tower ($75), and it mostly saves vertical space as its wide enough to fit basically any aftermarker heatsink, but Im pretty happy with it. Just know your limitations--while it can SLI, its definitely not recommended to do so in a Micro ATX case.
Connor Watson
Mid tower are all the same so just get the best looking
Angel Miller
thanks friend. i wanted full atx though because of the space and not entirely for "airflow", just a case that i could install many fans in, whatever
Jacob Sanders
Unless you are doing SLI micro is fine
Aaron Brown
it also saves space by removing the drive bays in the front, even more than define S.
no, they're not. cheap shit cases will be cramped moreso than a well designed one of the same size, and a good case will have better fan and cable management options as well as dust filters.
do your fucking research and watch reviews
Eli Morris
i said i did not care about price
Landon Moore
>2013+4 >SLI
Wyatt Powell
I put it on the ground just for that picture, but don't worry, it's not there normally. I do all my computing in the pool, with my desktop on a large inflatable pool toy.
Cooper Mitchell
He can just get a lian li glass for the best, a 460x for muh RGB, and a phanteks for a nice glass case for reasonable price
Jacob Williams
I use a 350d, no complaints here. good build quality, easy to install / remove anything without having to take everything out to make room. tons of cable management space behind the mobo too.
Luis Nguyen
just because it's expensive doesnt mean it's the best choice. do your research.
Thomas Murphy
How did you use the space you saved?
Owen Adams
Well, my computer is on my desk, so it saves a lot of desk space by just being smaller and also looking neater.
Parker Green
Take a look at CaseLabs, they have the HIGHEST quality cases made out of mostly aluminium, they can hold shit ton of hard drives but it varies from each different cases.
