Good cheap case with everything you need Rosewill CHALLENGER

Higher quality mid tower Corsair 400r

For Full towers you have the Rosewill THOR v2 , HAF 932 or X , and Corsair Obsidian series.

I love fractal design's define r4 case more than I do most of my family. Great to work in, doesn't look like some garish eyesore, every air inlet has an easily removable dust filter, there's plenty of room for good cable routing, and the thermals and acoustics are fantastic.

If you don't mind size, the bigger is normally better more room to work with easier to keep decent airflow in the rig too.

In the end it all comes down to your own taste, in combination with specs. And bigger doesnt always mean better airflow..

good cases i like : define r4, 750D, 900D (bit over the top) really any obsidian from corsair i like.

But then i like clean and proffesional ooking cases more then gimmicky ones with flashy colors, or weird shapes..

If your goal is to have a quiet PC case the following is what I would recommend:

  • Define R4
  • NZXT H440
  • Anidees 6BS

My next case is going to be Nanoxia Deep Silence 1. (they also have a deep silence 5, if you want something a little bigger)

It has nice airflow, and is expandable, it is extremely quiet, as it already has soundproofing in it, and a fan controller build right in, with some nice air pushing, and minimal noise fans. Super easy to clean, has nice cable management. It also isn't all that expensive considering the features. It will fit in it any gpu available on the market, along with any cpu cooler.

I am building my rig for music composition/mixing, and gaming. (so Quiet is one of the things I have as a top requisite) In the music scene this case is highly reputable for quiet, and cool!
