I am looking for a white quiet case with modern minimalistic design.

My fairly old setup is as follows: ATX Motherboard with a massive Sapphire Radeon HD5870 & 4 HDDs RAID 10. No special cooling required.

Any recommendations? Budget about RM300-700. Thanks

white and quiet... only the Fractal Design XL comes to mind

Hey guys I wanna know what do u guys think about NZXT Phantom 530 n 630? Which is more better for setting up a water cooling system including the GPU wb as well. biggrin.gif
Kinda torn in between in these 2. Is the Rm100 difference worth it?

I might go with Phantom 530 with some cable extension. As far I see from review space isn't much issue in both casing as front modular cage can be removed. It's a hundred bucks diff ><

wow i tot im the only one lol brows.gif i gonna change to Phantom 410 SE Gunmetal haha.

Cable management sucks in this case. And the cable its pulling my 670 down.

::Edit::

Btw u got any best guide for swapping case ah? icon_idea.gif Or just refer to user guide from my motherboard? I got 1 user guide (p67 deluxe), but i using z77 v deluxe, can still use? icon_rolleyes.gif

ikr~! such a headache case but oh well u get what u pay for I guess. I'm thinking of 530 cuz one of my mobo pin is needed to be routed from top left of the casing. Aside of that I wanna set up push pull config for my radiator on top. Here's my latest update on my current case. U can see if using push pull config is impossible to mount on top(the Z77 box thingy) is blocking, and if u see closely got one cable beside that box that needed to be routed. For 410 seems to be very tight on top.

lols basicly right as long ur input>output then okay already(positive pressure). I don't think got much difference and not to say much fan the better. I rmb reading in one test they just have one or two exhaust and a input does the well than other config(need find back that link).
As long got good airflow its sufficient imho. biggrin.gif
Maybe 1C - 3C temp drop but our country so hot so yeahh sad.gif

wun ba.. u can check the temperature ma. smile.gif See how much diff lo. IMHO maybe won't be much difference. But according to your pic the cables u put on there will block air flow come in from the front of your casing. Try put them behind or below so the air can flow in thru from the front fan biggrin.gif
