Which Chassis for Zenith

[Topham]

Hello GUys,

Im looking at building a TR machine and struggling to find a chassis i like. Im looking at getting a Midi, i did like the Phanteks Evolve but it appears that its not quite roomy for the 24pin and 8 pin motherboard cables. I do like the way that the evolve hides the PSU cables but keep is shown.

I would like the case to hide the PSU similar to Evolve and have nice cable management at the back.

I am trying to stay away from cubes atm due to desk space (dont want to put it on the floor due to 4 cats in the house). I curently have a 750d but its not what im looking for for my TR, want something abit more sturdy and less rattly. I did look and ENthoo Primo but not really keen on the bay's layout.

If you're air cooling, I'd recommend the fractal mesify c. It would need a little modding of the psu cover, but out has the airflow that a TR build needs.

If you are water cooling, I'd move up to the Fractal define s. It's a little bigger than the meshify, and would require a psu cover to be modded in (an acrylic panel and some paint is all you'd need really), but again would otherwise be fine.

Edit: nope, not a fractal rep, i just know these cases quite well, and love them.

Good shout. Those are lovely cases.

If by Zenith he means the Threadripper board it won't fit in the Meshify as it's an E-ATX board.

I don't see any mention of zenith... I might be blind, but i am looking on my mobile device, so i might also be looking in the wrong places.

In that case i don't think the define s will work either... Hmmm....

Perhaps the nzxt s340 elite? I will need to confirm that it can take eatx.

Give me a bit, I'll get back to you on this today.

Edit: nope they all only support up to atx.

Based on what i can see for eatx, id look at the Phantecks Enthoo Pro M/Special. Would still need apsu cover to be modded in, but otherwise looks good.

Ok. But where the title should be, i see only the word "Test" I'll flag it with Sub.
