I wanted to pull the trigger on my first selfbuilt PC and my choice was the Fractal R5 because all of the good stuff I hear here.
Well gladly I measured my desks PC "cabin" which is only a bit less than 230mm/9' wide.
The Fractal R5 is 232mm/9.13' wide which means I can't use it.
Now I'm searching for a similar silent case.
I need:
- ATX Format
- dampened front door
- space for a 2nd front fan
- max. wide of 225mm/8.85'
I would like:
- dampened panels
- PWM fans
- 140mm/5,5' rear fan
- removable middle HDD trays/modular drive-bays
I don't want:
- Fancy LEDs
- Glass Panels
Any advice or experiences?
I came up with the following list of cases*:
- Nanoxia Deep Silence 1
Nanoxia Deep Silence 2
Nanoxia Deep Silence 3
Cooltek Antiphon
Aerocool DS 200
NZXT H440 v2
Cooler Master Silencio 652S
Cooler Master Silencio 550
Corsair Carbide Series 330R
Corsair Carbide Series 400Q (No PWM fans afaik)
Could some of the veterans help me out?
*EDIT: Will try to add some links for each case today.
