Right guys, I put my current case up for sale a couple of days ago and I've found a guy who wants to buy it.
So.. me being me.. I went looking for a new case to fit my components in.
I've found multiple suitable candidates and i want your opinion. Here's a few:
- Fractal Design Define R3 Black / Grey
- Fractal Design Define XL (I read some reviews and apparantly it doesn't do too well when it comes to airflow?)
- Cooler Master CM 690-II Advanced
- NZXT Phantom White
There's a couple of criteria that apply. It has to have decent airflow (has to keep my components cool), be a lot less noisy than my Antec 902, and also look nice. Now ofcourse I know looks are subjective, so here's the thing. I do NOT like (cheap, )(tacky,) plasticky cases. I HATE all of those, except the NZXT Phantom which I actually like. Oh and price-wise it has to be sub-€150. I live in the Netherlands in case you were wondering.
So far the NZXT Phantom White is my favourite, because it's not too noisy, has tons of room and I think it'll look epic if I fit it with a load of Xigmatek fans (which I won't do straight away since my budget won't allow it, but since I'm forever in love with Xigmatek fans I will later on), followed by the Fractal Design Define R3 for its quietness.
Now since I cannot decide, I need you guys to convince me. Other suggestions are welcome too. Hopefully the guy buys my case so I will actually get to buy a new one, ha.
