I Need A New PC Case

th

May 8, 2017, 16:11(EDT) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

I’ve finally had it with my Rosewill Blackhawk-Ultra case (my Amazon review). Looking for a new one. Suggestions/input wanted.
Kinda have green in mind, don’t know why.
Full or mid-tower. Absolute ceiling of $200 but would prefer cheaper.
Saw this on Amazon. Not the cats’s meow or anything but it might work:
Apevia X-SNIPER2-GN ATX Mid Tower

Might even consider going retro. Always liked they look of the old Alienware cases but they are commanding high prices on Craigslist.

    I think you might factor in how it’s going to be cooled. Mainly kind of cpu cooler in height. Also consider the length of a video card. and how many actual fans and 5 1/4 inch bays you need.

      Just a quick check I’d consider this case. Phanteks makes some really good cases. My next build will be with a Phanteks case. Just swap the fans to green led ones.

        That has possibilities.

          Then if you don’t have a liquid cooler Corsair makes some pretty decent liquid all in ones. Which would work perfectly in the case mentioned

            Sorry for the confusion. I have Corsair H60 Cooler. Since I’m not overclocking hard and I have the liquid cooler I don’t feel the need for a 1/2 dozen fans. Just a couple will do.

      Dont need radical. Only mild overclcking on a liquid cooler.

        I have the Phanteks Enthoo Evolv Glass edition case, Its under $200 and its a really premium looking case in your budget range.

        Ift has a radiator tray that slides out making installation really easy. It comes in silver, gun metal or black.

          Last couple years I’ve built itx machine into a Corsair 250d complete with the video card and h100i radiator. my little NAS / server went into a Fractal Designs Node804 running unraid with 12 drives, Workstation went into a Fractal Designs Refine R5.

    Obviously cases are subjective, but i think the Thermaltake Core P5 would be a good fit for what you’ve described so far. Also, it being fully modular is a nice bonus
