I prefer quality and functionality.
Mainboard ATX
PSU ATX

Lian Li PC-O11 Air is the best airflow case on the market currently. It trades in radiator support and the front glad panel for additional 3x120 so that you have a total of 12x120mm fans.

The Dynamic is still more then fine especially as the airflow is natural from bottom to top and PSU is in another chamber.

Downside is that it literally is made for water cooling and not normal air cooling.

Sir, sorry to say but no. H500M and H500P has the best airflow.
With watercooling it's probably the Corsair D900 and D1000.

H500P MESH for airflow

[tacoshy]

I don't know why you think H500P has a better airflow. But it has certain problems like every Cooler Master Case especially with their radiator top mounts that only can be used in pull configs.

The Corsair 900D is trice as expensive and merely on par. the radiator placement is kinda inefficient the way they designed it. (inside of the 5.25" bay cages that block 1/4 of the radiator, front radiator that has a solid cover right in front of it, bottom that looks nice but pushes the air again against a solid wall and then need to find the gaps in the mid plate...

Being good for water cooling does not mean to simply have larger radiator support. Airflow is depending on more factors then just fan mounts number, space and radiator support.

Lots of suggestions here.
A PC case is the only 'future proof' part of a PC so whatever you get try to keep that in mind.
Be weary of any proprietary features. Possibly RGB through a particular vendor or odd fan cover sizes. Maybe look for a 5.25 drive bay in case you want to add something on the front - anything from usb/thunderbold version whatever connector to a fan controller.

Here is my case.

It was released in 2011 and probably hard to find. It is still serving me well. The point is I bought that one for future upgrade options.

O11 air couldnt even fit large cpu air cooler like noctua d15 or darkrock pro 4. Not to mention a rather awful airflow for gpu.

H500p does everything better out of the box for air cooler system.

Gamer nexus did a long ass test for those two cases, and it is what it is.

The h500 mesh is passable, but those big fans have very limited airflow vs smaller faster ones, I'm pretty sure they also only used 3 or 4 fans in the 011 vs the 9 or 12 it can actually take, as for the cpu cooler, go with an aio :)

??? What radiator? Where did the radiator came from?

LUL do Noctua NF-A14 ULN at 800rpm have a huge airflow? Yes... 79.8m³/h
I used one Noctua NF-A14 ULN on my desk to blow cold air on me while having 30°C in my room.

Silent Wings 3 PWM 120mm 1450rpm ... 80.47m³/h

You shouldn't really give advice to others when it comes to airflow and cooling.

H500P you where talking about:
"The h500 mesh is passable, but those big fans have very limited airflow vs smaller faster ones"
Cooler Master MasterFan MG200R RGB 200mm
153m³/h it pushes as much air as two Silent wings 3 PMW 120mm at 1450rpm.

You just fooled yourself mate.

Airflow isnt only about data sheet of what air they move but also how the move it...

1/2 of the bottom front fan of the H500P is covered by the PSU shroud. That air never reaches the main chamber.

2x 150m³/h + 1x140mm fan is still less then 12x80m³/h

Same as your pocket is 12x less lol

They may move alot of air (the 200mm ones) but the air looses pressure very quickly so isn't actually all that great for cooling, why do you think no one else uses them?

Anyway, you seem to have decided on the h500 so why even ask for advice?

Fact is an 011 air with all fans will provide better temps than the h500, but, if you like the h500, go for it.

[Andrius227]

Dual chamber cases (or whatever you wanna call them) like Lian Li PC-O11 or Corsair 680x are superior because they have intake fans right under the gpu. GPU's are always much hotter than cpu's but usually get much less airflow if a psu sits under it.

I myself just got a 680x and i dont think i will ever go back to the regular cases.

You don't need pressure in case fans, you need airflow. Pressure is needed on air coolers and radiators not on case fans to move air...

The only concerns I have with this case is the top part where the glass is. Is there a dust filter or just open?

On 680x ? There is a magnetic filter included, it just wasn't installed. Probably because the case doesnt come with fans at the top.
