So I'm trying to decide on a new case, as my Coolermaster K280 just doent cut the mustard anymore



So far im liking the looks of the Corsair C70 Vengeance and the Air 540.



I'll be using an H100 in the new build so top rad support for a 240mm is important.



what other option could i consider??, bearing in mind the C70 is around $200 NZD, and the Air 540 is roughly $250 NZD



My budget is around the $250 mark



I can check the pricing of your suggestions as they come


Thanks
 
Well what kind of hardware will be in it? Future watercooling plans? Multi GPU configs? Tons of drives? Etc..

Some good ones to start with are Fractal Design cases. Namely the Arc series since that seems to be more towards what you would prefer based off your first two suggestions.

Nzxt H440, Phantom 630/530, Source 530
Phanteks entho primo/ entho pro
and plenty more others will recommend. Can't think of more off the top of my head atm.

At this stage i only intend to watercool the CPU.

Multi GPU potentially, but not at this stage, not sure if it would be worth SLIing a 660 SC or upgrading to a 770

HDD's, just got two 3.5 inch drives currently, dont plan SSD

Cheers for your suggestions, will look into them

Maybe look at some of the Phenteks Enthoo range, they seem reasonably priced and versatile, Feronix pointed me to them as I'm looking at getting an Matx case

Yep, the Enthoo Pro windowed costs around $100-120 and tbh beats every case in the same price bracket.

An Arc Midi R2 would be a good alternative too :)
 
+1 for the Enthoo Luxe, it's currently #1 in my personal list of future possible choices
