Well, as title say, Im looking for a new case. (my 500R its too impaired) and really need help.

My needs are good airflow, nice minimalist aesthetic (dont like transformer case's -_- ) and high flexibility for LR. Im looking for a triple rad + double rad build WITHOUT any kind of mod or dremell job.

Ofc, other "must have" is that it must be Midi size or fulltower BUT with small surface in the base (I dont mind how tall is it but the base surface cant exceed 57cm long)

About price's I just can afford arround 180-250€

Right now Im looking for this cases:

Fractal Design Arc R2: Nice tight small case with high LR possibility.
NZXT H630: Nice look, nice interior and LR flexibility.
NZXT Phantom 630: love the aesthetic, not really the internal options but it can be a possible buy.
SilverStone RV03: Can this case fit LR? Its kinda weird that 90º rotation...
Cooler Master HAF X: Not sure If I wanna buy this...
Xigmatek Elysium: I think it's bigger than my table :lol:

Well, basically im looking for a tower that allows me to put a triple + a double radiator, not exceeding 57cm base, which is similar to the one's I mentioned and that does not exceed 250 €

Please Commend some good tower with these features.

Thx in advance ;)
 
The Arc Midi R2 can't fit a triple rad, but other than that it's an amazing case.

The Silverstone is an epic aircooler but not too great for watercooling as it can only really fit one slim 240mm rad without modding.

The HAF X, well... I hate the looks of that thing too much if I'm honest.

Elysium, yeah it's really big and you can fit a lot in there. The only downside to it is that it takes up a lot of space and even with watercooling in there, most single socket motherboards will look slightly silly imo.

I'd personally go for one of the NZXT cases. Maybe have a look at the Switch 810 and/or the Phantom 820 as well, although I'm not sure about the length of their 'base surface'.
 
I have the HAF X its an amazing case if your into modding as there are soo many diffrent thing that you can improve on it just my getting a jigsaw out and a drill :P
 
I think for watercooling the H630 will be best, but I think it might be lacking airflow.
Out of all those, either the Phantom or the Arc Midi R2 :)
I'd also recommend taking a look at the Switch 810 :)

I think If I do just 2 drill hole's It can fit a 360 rad... or maybe I also can use the legit hole's from mesh... I saw TTL review and many images out there and as many have a triple rad I thought it could fit it easy... Anyway using a drill its not modding for me xD I just have to press down and make a hole :lol:

Thank you all for responding so quickly.
Ill have a look at the Arc Midi R2, NZXT H630 and the new nzxt case,check their website, tomorrow we will see wich one is... maybe a new phantom?... Seeing the silhouette appears to be a phantom.

You'd also need to cut the bottom plate of the 5,25" drive bays out, but afterwards you should be able to fit a 60mm think rad :D
 
Ewwwgh, so I need "hard" modding to the case :(

Well, anyways Ill wait to tomorrow's nzxt case and checking the dammit Internet with nice mod's haha :D
 
I know but right now Im quite busy with new job so that's why I dont want to make any mod, also coz' I messed up with my 500R making a window and I didnt really like the look :D
Anyway, beacauyse of I have no time :P
 
Well, new phantom looks soooo nice :D Waiting for a TTL review for this phantom 530 and the new H630. :P
Keep guiving me some ideas plz, Ill decide this week wich one I buy.
