Or just some a test bench; nothing better if you want functionality.

One of those questions that is hard to answer without knowing what all is going in it.
Optical drive, or anything that requires a front 5.25 spot? Rules out a lot of cases.
More than 2 HDDs? Rules out a lot of cases.
Radiator(s)? Rules out some cases, depending on size.

I bought my case based on needing to fit an eATX mobo, 360mm radiator, and 5.25" front bay. It also had to be under a certain height to fit on a shelf I plan to build. I had no need for 2.5/3.5" bays, and could have lived without any front panel connectors. Your needs may vary considerably.

Based on your requirements of ATX mobo & PSU, plus quality and functional, I recommend the Lian Li PC-T60B for $70.

Cases are a thing that is so heavily.subject to personal opinion as well. What kind of style you might be after, what colour you want, is there an aesthetic you have in mind? Are you blinging this out with RGB? Is it going to be shown off? What kind of cooling do you intend to use? Did you want to be able to see through a side panel, is that a requirement?


All that said, I got a cougar gaming panzer evo max earlier this year, after a good looooong time with an antec 1200. I love the panzer now, its just so solid and convenient features for me. But it is very VERY large.

Corsair 680x. I just got one for myself. The best looking case i have ever seen. Got plenty of space in the back for cable management, no more bulging side panels.

I mean you clearly understood my question, if I'm mentioning only Mobo + PSU that means that I will either fit my Hardware based on the case, or all the rest doesn't matter. To be more accurate, the only thing that will be installed there is a M.2 NVME for the OS and 1TB 2.5" SSD for games. It will only work as a gaming PC, I do all my work on a different setup.

I was looking at both of them before :p I guess I was looking at the H500M

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Yup, both are top notch choices

This would be / is my choice, looks great, easy to build in room for plenty of future storage, easy cable management and as you aren't paying for the crap fans most cases come with you can install decent ones from the start.

The one issue is, if you happen to have a truly massive gpu, it's a bit of a tight fit, by massive, I mean something like the evga 2080ti ftw3 ultra, which is frankly stupidly big, its 14cm wide, so 2-4cm wider than just about any thing else.

I have ♥♥♥♥ ton of Noctua fans hehe... 3x NF-A14 ULN for example. and some 120mm.

I want something with high airflow because my room gets really hot. I was also thinking about Sub Zero cooling lol, you buy it once and there won't be anything better than this haha :D

[Monk]

Well, the 011 can fit 9 fans plus a pair of 80mm if you really want, chillers really aren't worth the cost, they are loud and expensive and eat a ton of power for no real world benefits over a custom loop.

Also true, there are no good cases tbh. There are some cases where I'm thinking "ohh this can be good" and then I see some idiot put the PSU under the GPU that is blocking the fresh air to the GPU... The only "high flow" case is the H500M or P. I was thinking about making my own case or something or mod a case with different panels etc.

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.
