That's personal preference. I look for front to top/back cooling WITH dust filters. I also look to make sure case has a Reset button as well.
Other than that, it's whatever strikes your fancy.

Google the case make/model and go to the manufacturer's website for all the details on cooling and dust filtration.


/e One other thing I look for is no screws needed to secure the drives.

I'm still using a full tower from 2010-ish. Never found a better case. It has everything and a few extra goodies.

Thing I like best about this case is that the motherboard tray comes completely out, WITH CPU cooler and vid card still installed.
Takes like 15 mins to do a complete upgrade.















/ee Of the modern cases, I guess I'm a fan of Phanteks

I guess I'd vote for Phanteks Eclipse 600s. It comes with either solid side panels or with tinted tempered glass panels.

Oh, btw, Cooler Master and Corsair have some awesome cases, if you're into glass.

That Cougar, does look pretty nice. Their website says it has dust filters (top, bottom and front). And it comes with three fans installed.


/e I still think I'd go with the Phanteks P400. Phanteks sells a lot of cool accessories for their cases.















Plus... it has awesome lighting.



I really like the Phanteks Enthoo Elite and Primo models. But I'm sure they are wicked expensive. The Enthoo Primo is only $250 USD

yea it looks like a solid choice...I just dont know if I wanna go with RGB stuff (and pay extra)

I could go with https://www.newegg.ca/g-skill-16gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820232476

and maybe a GPU with some RBG elements...

No. I was just looking at god cases. The Enthoo Elite is only $899 USD.

Ended up ordering from 4 places to save money and get the parts I wanted...alot of stuff is out of stock

NZXT H510i (Black/Black) case
Ryzen 5 3600
MSI Tomahawk B450 MAX
Seasonic Focus Gold 550w
Gskill Trident Z RGB series 2x8gb 3000Mhz
MSI GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER GAMING X 6GB
Crucial P1 1TB 3D NAND NVMe PCIe M.2 SSD

You ofc know the rules...


When it arrives and when it gets assembled... pics or it didn't happen.

Sure thing

Just realized I’ll need a DisplayPort to HDMI adaptor and it needs to pass audio..

Received the case already, rest will get here monday if i'm lucky!
