Right on.

Ordered everything Rapture recommended EXCEPT the case.

Anymore input on the case? Ordering that soon



There are 100's if not thousands of cases out there. Most are built with price rather than quality in mind.
The Corsair 540 Air is a great case, but if you want to see some godly cases....Google: Caselabs.

I understand. So any mid tower will fit/work?

Caselabs. Sounds flashy. Im looking at price and space. Flash is last.

Well that depends on few things...like if you decide to get a 3rd party CPU cooler like the Cooler master hyper 212 EVO. That cooler requires 6.2 inches from the top of the CPU to the inside surface of the left side of the case. Another possible issue is vid card length.


The Corsair 540 Air will handle any CPU cooler and any vid card length. Like I said it keeps the hot parts on one side and the cooler parts on the other side, which is a good thing.


Both the Corsair 540 Air and any of the Caselabs cases are definitely in the non flashy group. Since the Caselabs cases are very expensive, I suggested the Corsair 540 Air.


If you're more into the more normal types of cases, look at the Fractal Design Define R4 or R5.

R4: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811352020&cm_re=Fractal_Design_Define_R4-_-11-352-020-_-Product

R5: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811352048&cm_re=Fractal_Design_Define_R5-_-11-352-048-_-Product

I ordered the r300. And honestly it looks better than the rest imo. Besides the corsair 540. Which is sick. Maybe next build. :)

well if you like it, that's all that matters.
Though, I agree with wraith, if a case costs ~$80 i expect much better.

Ignorance strikes again.

Recommend a better case then?

I did. You ignored me, just like you ignored the build I gave you.

I didn't ignore anyone. I read all posts and made my decision based on google/these posts.

Then you would not have gone with the build Rapture made.
