Can anyone recommend a quiet case for my new build.
Main purpose is music production, then some gaming etc.
Needs to take a Gigabyte G1 gaming 5P e-atx board
and a 240 rad and fans in the roof.
I'm not bothered about 3.5/2.5 drive bays - I'll be using a samsung 951 nvme for storage.
The mobo is just under 10.5 inches wide, so not a full width e-atx.
I read somewhere that boards this size should fit in most atx cases.
Any likely problems with this other than part covering the cable grommets?
I like the look of the Nzxt H440 but it has no 5.25 drive bays and I'll be burning cd's a lot, plus I'd want to add a fan controller
Nanoxia deep silence 5 - will fit all my components except for my rad in the roof - it only accepts a slim one - would it matter if the rad and fans overhung the mobo?
Fractal R5 - looks a bit monolithic - will it take my mobo?
Be Quiet silent base 800 - will this be ok with my aio 240 rad in the roof and will my mobo fit in ok. It's also lacking a fan controller?
Any suggestions or help will be gratefully received.
Thanks all
