The best Computer Cases: Reddit reviews

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

RPM isn't that strongly correlated to decibel output. I have a very acoustically open case and the card is almost inaudible under most gaming conditions. It's really impressive.

Here's a benchmark for some 3rd party confirmation: https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/EVGA/GTX_1070_SC/23.html

29 decibels is quieter than a library. And that's at full load.

Edit: Username relevant?

The $10 MIR just offsets the $10 shipping.

It's $45 with free shipping at Amazon. So you wouldn't need to go through the MIR process.

That's a shame.

My most recent build is in the 4000D and I freaking love it. My Threadripper workstation is in the 750D and it's also great, just a lot bigger. Both of them are in the Airflow editions and I couldn't be happier.

The newish Corsair 4000d Airflow is very popular, great for airflow, looks good and is easy to build in. I’d recommend it

Found the Aero 800 on amazon, 80 bucks

Alot of people on this sub have the NZXT S340 10 bucks cheaper than the Aero 800..

Newegg has the black version for $70, After rebate, it comes down to 60

Newegg's NZXT S340

Cooler Master Q300L.

They also have Q300P if you wanna RGB it up, but I prefer the Q300L mostly because it'll have better airflow

It just released the other day, and backorder on newegg.

Someone on Amazon is selling it as well

топовая топь на все времена. пользовался таким во времена когда еще пользовался корпусами

Not with an M.2 connection no.

But if your laptop has a thunderbolt 3 port, then you can.

You’d leave the Thunderbolt Adapter on your desk with the GPU always installed, connected to the monitor/TV and plugged into power.

Then when you get home, all you have to do is connect the one Thunderbolt cable in and get playing.

Not a cheap solution, but elegant and easy to use.

Same price on amazon, but with free shipping:

I would recommend this, I use it and I Love it

Here is a well reviewed and beautiful case for $60 on the dot, free shipping with amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PDDMN6S?keywords=computer%20case&qid=1450414984&ref_=sr_1_26&refinements=p_36%3A3000-6500%2Cp_85%3A2470955011&s=pc&sr=1-26 and here is a review of the case https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwOL5QYxJD4

I used this 4u server case from amazon with a little modifying. It fits three GPU's well, you could easily put six. pics

I used a pair of Puget Systems Acryllic GPU Braces when I ran two 780s in SLI. My replacement card came with a reinforced backplate that pretty much negates any sag in my configuration, so I don't have them in place currently, but it did a good job at the time.

"Bracket" may have been the wrong word to use in my post, by the way; "Brace" will likely get you better results. For example, here's an Amazon Search for GPU Braces.

Your best bet is to go with something simple with decent reviews. The Puget ones get slammed because of their logo, but the mounting system and support are generally pretty solid, and I've heard good things about the aluminum ones as well. At the very least this should get you on the right track.

Pugnet Systems sells an acrylic GPU brace that looks good in any system. It's worth the investment, trust me.

Edit: Amazon link

What about this one?

https://www.amazon.com/CORSAIR-CARBIDE-SPEC-01-Mid-Tower-CC-9011050-WW/dp/B00I6BJATW/ref=mp_s_a_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1539902070&sr=8-12&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=Mid+tower+case

Seems to have good reviews on Amazon

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0785GRMPG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_1sKfFb38RVWNC nono te nuro que no, conosco los precios de usa, este precio me parece mas logico y no tiene luces ni nada. Considero que alibaba y wish.com tienen precios demaciado bajos para ser verdad y por algun lado te cagan (sea tiempo en envio, precio de envio, calidad del producto, etc o nose) Y considero que aca en argentina los precios estan demaciado altos para ser verdad

So I just ordered the exact list you provided, with this case instead. I'm sorry if this is a stupid question but I want to make sure: should I order any extra fans? Does the cpu come with a capable heatsink?

I just want to make sure that on Tuesday when all of the parts listed above have arrived, that I can put it all together and be up and running.

Thank you again so much, your help has gone a long way.

You could add a bracket, u/TinyTim711 linked a premade one in this thread nad there is also one made by puget system (amazon link) but you could also make custom ones (or have them made), depending on your volume it might be echonomically convenient. As other have said SFF PCs are a good choice for transport and to reduce the wiggle and so are AIO coolers instead of towers. Try asking in r/sffpc too. There are also highly integrated prebuilt pcs with water or even passive cooling that would probably be a good option out of the box but might cut you out of the deal.

It's annoying. Also makes the questions/answers mostly impossible to use because you have to click each one to see the actual model the question talks about.

Like my CM case but that amazon page is a mess.

as long as you have a thunderbolt port on your laptop, you can buy a GPU along with an external GPU adapter, although it'd be fairly expensive.

i don't have any personal experience with this kind of thing, but i would probably recommend something like this, as Razer is a reliable name brand.

as for choosing the GPU, i'd recommend choosing something from here, you can sort by memory.

Remember: your laptop needs a thunderbolt port for it to work. It's the port that looks like an iphone charging port.

Also, you'll need an external monitor for the GPU to connect to.

I got this case for this build .. - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08C7BGV3D/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

it's got a lot of good radiator mounting options for 240mm rads - can run two 240s on the top very easily

No.

Lo que necesitas es un gabinete especializado para GPU, algo como esto. Eso si, no significa que puedas usarlo con cualquier PC, tambien tiene que estar habilitado para usar el gabinete.

​

Hay videos que explican mejor. Este es uno, pero ni lo he visto jaja no se que tan bueno sea, la cosa es que hay como hacerle.

I told you nzxt 510 elite flow or corsair 4000d, nzxt elite is 90$, corsaIr 4000d 105$ that have nice airflow and plenty of space and easy cable management. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08C7BGV3D?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1

After some more case research I'm thinking either

• Q300L (on sale for $42 right now)
• P300A or Rosewill C101 if they go on sale (both $70 right now)

Thank you.
Can you tell me which wireless network adapter i can get with that motherboard? it's the only thing i see missing. And what thermal compound to pick?

And if you don't mind, to understand better, can you help me with these questions/options?

1. i like the case, simple and nice looking, found this one too:
   https://www.amazon.fr/Cooler-Master-MasterBox-Micro-ATX-MCB-Q300L-KANN-S00/dp/B0785GRMPG/
   can it be a good alternative?
   I really insist on silence and it being properly cooled, are the 2 fans both cases come with enough or should i replace them too?
2. will the cpu cooler be strong enough when the temp in the room will be 35+?
3. i was advised to take 3600 memory. Is the difference that little?
4. For the video card, i am really tempted to step to a rx 6800xt, the price is 150€ more but it seems like a big updgrade. What do you think?
5. The ssd is not worth to go for the last gen?
   

Thank you for your help understanding all this :)

If you want something similar to the case you have there(cube), this is a nice case that I have built in myself. BUT it's mATX. Which means you need a smaller motherboard. Not an issue because there are plenty of mATX motherboards available well below what you have in your cart anyway. Everything else you have is really solid though. Good brands and models.

https://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-Computer-Chassis-Pre-installed-CA-1D5-00S1WN-00/dp/B00PDDMN6S

Four fans total. If you're looking into the clear side of the tower, I have a fan on the top right facing down, and two fans on the right side facing in. Lastly, by the CPU on the left side, I have a fan pointing out. Could post a pic later.

Here's the case, should have plenty of opportunities for airflow. https://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-Transparent-Adjustable-Ventilated/dp/B0785GRMPG

If you prefer a micro-ATX case which will look better with your motherboard, you could get the well-reviewed Cooler Master Masterbox Q300L.

It's cheaper and smaller than the case you have choosen. It has good airflow, and should accomodate you choosen components with no issues.
