Thread: Choosing a case: sober and silent

I turn to you because I want to change the case next month. However, I can not find housing with the specificity that I want: sober: a case not (too) flashy (I could possibly make an exception for the Lian Li PC8FI red), Ie excluded style HAF.

practice: a case not too small to be able to change gear easily (I am a bit geeky but I also tired of fighting with grommet).silent and broken: I know that the two are very compatible, especially if the case is not of type "mesh" but I want the best possible compromise between these two specificity.

Front USB3.0 (eSATA and possibly 6 GB / s front ca if any): preferably with a header USB3.0 ports for remote, I do not think it's great.

Thank you for your answers. You can therefore confirm that the header is a PC9F USB port and not deported? and in silence?

If you put the 3 Ventilos not regulate them, is sure it will not be silent. The silence is peculiar to each according to his own assessment so it is difficult to answer you in absolute and be adamant! What do you call header usb? The only thing I can say is that for USB 3 in frontage, my motherboard has only two USB ports, 3 rear, Lian Li sell this box with a kind of extension cord to plug these ports usb3 the facade.

I'm digging and look around on the net, the only case which so oriented aircooling the lot is accompanied by a Silverstone FT02 Rheobus and AP181. What is certain is that these fans are present in version FT02B-WRI and in the last release but this is Russian roulette to see what we may fall.

Obsidian Series Corsair is very good, FD R3 is also conclude that, but have you thought about looking at the Xigmatek Pantheon? Because it seems to match all your criteria.

Sincerely Fractal Design would be suitable and large enough for your config.

Ventilation level there is what it takes:
- 2 front 120mm
- 1 120mm rear
- 1 140mm below the box

Possibility to put 2 140mm on top of the box and 1 on the side panel but Détrier of silence brought the case without these 3 fan.

Maybe I dug up the topic, but for my part I move into the Antec P183 for its anti-vibration pads of hard drives. This stuff is not available elsewhere to my knowledge. Nevertheless, I particularly regret that the buttons are hidden behind the power supply door. Cons by the Lian Li begins to please me. I like to know how to mount hard drives? And on what?

Otherwise you do not dig up this topic because I found the Nexus boxes (the 5 Prominent) That look pretty, I continue my research but I am beginning to doubt. I think the case that I simply do not exist. Wanting me to redo a watercooling, I think I'll wait and buy the parts and as a measure for watercooling my machine and when the case I want to go out, I would take. I'll let you know what I find.
