guys. could you recommend me a cheap mid sized casing with removable filters?

i need it for my sister's pc so she could easily maintain it by just cleaning the filters when i`m not around. thanks.

removable filter is a must! cheaper better.
*
Well.. cheap chassis normally has filters that sits under the chassis the Cooler Master K-series should be okay for this application IMHO

CM Elite 372 casing with stock cpu cooler, if want to add fans + led, which would look the best?

1. Red LED kit + AC F12 fan
2. White LED kit + AC F12 fan
3. White LED kit + XtraFlo red fan
*
now that would be up to you really, color schemes are really hard to recommend as everyone's taste is different... but for the LED lighting I recommend going for the NZXT Hue so that you could adjust the color of the LED to your liking.... but the fans.. you'd still have to swap them for looks

how do you think CM storm sniper ? the design are almost same with the corsair 600t. i like the design... but CM storm sniper don't have the rubber protection on the drilled hole.
*
the sniper is a mid tower chassis and yes it doesn't have rubber gromets as its an old model actually

basically I'd recommend that you go with the Stryker as its a full tower since you wanna do water cooling wink.gif

Scout II lack of fans Enforcer has a lot of negative reviews ==
*
lol fan can always be added on later if needed but yes the enforcer is really a revamped HAF912 with a front cover... though chassis design preference differs from one person to the next...

I think it's better for you to go to the shops and take a look at all the chassis within your budget then decide

What do you guys think of Scout II? Reasonable price, nice design, black interior, windowed and good cable management. I'm not bothered by lack of fans, easily solved by getting more.

What really bugs me is they only provide 1 dust filter. Anyone know where to get more of these?
*
The scoutII does look handsome IMO price is ok considering the branding, not all will agree but chassis design is very subjective wink.gif just go for it if you like the chassis

dust filters may be added later on as well but IMHO the ScoutII should be well equipped with them.. if not, you could always get the magnetic ones made by Silverstone wink.gif

QUOTE(diaBoliQu3 @ Feb 4 2013, 03:41 PM)
For which casing? Sacrifice means? Removed and unable to restore? Or able to restore? Well, I have ODD, 1 HDD, 1 SSD. For NZXT Phantom:
My first setup:

After I funding for the WC:

or

If that's the case, I guess need to WC CPU only. Only if my current casing support 360radx2 top, I think I won't change my case. APES so fast reply? Maybe need their advise. sweat.gif

Definitely the Shinobi XL wink.gif even then you'd still have one remaining ODD bay wink.gif

Well technically there's no such thing as XL size. People usually refer PC casing sizes to its form factor.

yeah, well aware of that wink.gif he prolly have an XL-Atx mobo

on another note... if the TJ-11 is not big enough there is always the Lian Li PC-D8000 brows.gif

thinking of installing custom watercooling system in my pc but my current casing the coolermaster elite 371 mid tower doesnt seem to accomodate it well. can anyone suggest a full tower casing which support a custom watercooling system. not too pricey or good looking, as long as can do the job. budget maybe <rm500.

my hardware is
mobo: asus P8Z77-M micro-atx
cpu: intel i5-2500k
gpu: radeon 6870

thanks

you're talking about a custom WC loop or are you going for an AIO (e.g. Corsair H80, Thermaltake water 2.0, etc)??

Not many full towers fit your budget so would you consider mid towers that can it WC loops as well??

Here are some midtowers:

Cooler Master 690II USB3.0 -RM329
Cooler Master HAF XM -RM400
Corsair 400R / 500R -RM329 / RM429
Corsair Vengeance C70 -RM470
Corsair 550D -RM480
Xigmatek Pantheon -RM289
NZXT Phantom 410 -RM360

and here are some full towers:
Bitfenix Colossus RM455
Bitfenix Shinobi XL RM499
Cooler Master Storm Tropper RM460

I might have missed some but the list will keep you busy tongue.gif

the 7870Xt is 275mm long so it should fit in the shinobi as it has a 290mm clearance for GPUs wink.gif

good mid tower chassis, front loading HDD so no need to take off side panel and supports 240mm RAd at the top as well, can't say much for construction quality but from the reviews online its very good for its price
