Re: New gaming system advice please
Well I have made a decision and will go for the Fractal R5 and would like to thank
you both for your much appreciated advice and help.
I will now research the other components that you have suggested and come back
here for more advice on them and possibly others if that is ok.

Re: New gaming system advice please
With the research that I have done with the help of this site I had deduced that the R5 was one of the better cases regarding quietness and temperature dependant on component choice.

New gaming system advice please
I started a thread a while ago in cases and damping regarding a new case for a gaming build which I wanted to install in a cupboard but have realised that the Lian Li case that I had chosen and installing in a cupboard would not really be suitable. After more research it seems that the Fractal R5 is...

Re: New matx case advice
Thank you for all of the advice given. I will contact Lian Li customer support and hopefully get some information from them regarding the case to see if their are any options for front air intake grills/fans. Unless I can find another case with the depth restrictions that I require I will have to go...

Re: New matx case advice
Is there nobody that can give me any advice on air cooling in this case design as I am not
very experienced in these matters.
I need to choose a case before I can go any further with a build.
