    Case Preference

    My new rig (one mth old) has a Full ATX Rosewill Thor case. I love it, but it's really big, and really heavy. I've been looking into doing a 180 and going to MicroATX cases. I would need a new case and new mobo, which together is $130, not bad. But not sure if my R9 390 would fit :/

    Anyone find a case size that they really like? Full, Mid, Mini, Micro, etc?

    I always get mid due to restrictions on my office furniture, but it seems to work out fine for me.

    Re: Case Preference

    This is the case I went with on my latest build. I really like it, plenty of room for what I want and then some. Downfall, it is huge....

    Re: Case Preference

    You plan on building dual pc's in that tower. Look's like it's designed for that.

    Re: Case Preference

    depends on what the pc is for. My main rig is in a corsair 800d and my living room pc is in a raven rvz01b . I am really happy with both of them.

    I like mid towers personally but if I went with a tiny case it would probably be an NZXT Manta it's a pretty new case but looks really cool and I watched someone fit a gtx asus matrix 980 in it so it should hold a 390 no problem but the case itself is 139$ so you would end up spending quite a bit more then you were originally planning. This is my current mid tower http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6811139025 that is only 70$, it's pretty small compared to my old coolermaster haf-x but that thing was a giant so not really a fair comparison lol.

    Yeah, I'm kinda partial to white cases, i like the clean look of it. I mean everyone has a black case nowadays...

    Yes it is designed to do that. The thought has crossed my mind many times. However I don't think I will. I want to do a custom water cooling set up in the case. The room I have in the other side is perfect to place my pump and res.

    My other PC I built when Sandy Bridge first came out uses a Corsair 800D. Love that tower. That has a custom water cooling set up in it.
