Cases for 2013

[GODuk]

Hi all,

Does anyone have some ideas for the best cases for 2013? I'm looking to build a rig and take it to LANs, needs to have excellent airflow, quiet and a lovely big window on the side with no fan.

Too mush to ask for from companies to make?

Thanks all

p.s. case i'm using now is the Antec 1200 Gen.1

Take to lans?
New build or upgrading a current one?

If upgrading, what are your current specs?

 

[GODuk]

Lan's i.e. i-Series...gaming and tech events in the UK

New build, going to give my current rig to my daughter to help her with school work etc.

Why not a Prodigy and mod a window in? Or get someone else to.

Looks nice but too small, looking to fit an ATX board in, closed pre-water cooled e.g. H100i, may go full water cooling then closer to Sep time on the CPU and GFZ card, money depending lol

If it's for portable use, the prodigy is great.
You can get an Asus P8Z77-i Deluxe and a 3570k, with an H100i in too...along with full sized graphics cards.

Don't need anything more

I like the Cooler Master Storm Stryker with its large handle. As long as you don't mind full size case. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119260&Tpk=storm styker

what about the corsair C70 and mod side panel

fractal is releasing the window side panels for the arc midi and R4.

+1 Corsair C70

Arc Midi and Prodigy have my vote
Both extremely capable to be watercooled which is astounding for their size.

Thanks all, some more food for thought

The only thing with the C70 that I can see is the fan space on the side window, can they be bought with no fan space there and be all clear?

they cant but many people have modded a new window for them so cant be too hard

I like the Coolermaster Scout II

Some new cases are bound to be announced at CES next week, i'd wait and see what new ones are coming first before deciding.

The C70 and Prodigy are good options though.

The prodigy is very good and so is Caselabs SM5
