there's no need to mod anything just to accommodate a thick 360 rad with push pull fan setup or 2 slim type 360 on c2 bro, except if u'r using ax1200 psu... then there's a slight mod needed. But if u want something that looks really good then as usual a voiding warranty mod tongue.gif are necessary..

dear guys im looking for a case to fit my very wide hyper 212+ HSF. my current case cant close.

i think i need a 190 or 200mm wide case rite? btw when they say 190mm or 200mm.... is it from outside or inside the case measure?

even with 200mm........putting a side fan wud be challenging i think.......

what chassis are we taking abt here? & Whats ur budget??
the width of the chassis on the manuals are measured from the outside...
best to refer to the manuals for maximum cooler height support cause even if two different chassis is both 190mm wide, doesn't mean that both could support the same cooler

Halu there!

I'm in the midst of deciding my rig, and would be really grateful if someone can point me in the right direction for casings.

Requirements (I hope I'm not asking for too much blush.gif )

1. Must have USB 3.0
2. Minimalistic look (I'm leaning to looks like the Merc Alpa, Silencio...something very simple).
3. Mid-tower or smaller would be nice. Don't really want it to stand out like a sore thumb in my room sweat.gif
4. Ideally, below RM 200.

Hope I'm not demanding the world with the requirements sweat.gif

Thanks in advance! biggrin.gif


EDIT: Figured that I should probably detail my rig incase things don't fit...although I think it shouldn't be a problem


Intel Core i5 2400
Z77M-D3H or HA65M-UD3H-B3
2 X Corsair 4G DDR3 Ram
LiteOn 24x Dvd-RW
W.D. BLUE 16M 7200 RPM SATA 6.0
Gainward GTX560 Ti
Gigabyte Powerock 500W

Also forgot to mention that someone rec'd a Cooler Master 311 Plus...which fits the bill mostly. Still not sleek enough though laugh.gif I'm hoping for the Merc Alpha look to be honest.

Or is there a way to hack that usb port to become a usb 3.0? laugh.gif

Why not you just buy the bitfenix or coolermaster usb 3.0 front panel adapter? It's still within your budget if you buy that merc alpha. nod.gif

CM usb 3.0 adapter

Bitfenix usb 3 adapter

I thought of that...eventually laugh.gif

Thanks for the input though! You think the CM's adapter would fit in the case? Logically, it should right? Since it'll go into the floppy bay.

Final question:

I did a little bit more of looking around, and finally stumbled upon this other casing.

I'm still quite liking the Merc Alpha...but don't mind the look of this Xigmatek.

Feature-wise, it seems that ti trumps the Merc Alpha though. Hence the indecisiveness.

Which would you guys recommend...and why?

TIA! biggrin.gif

^ the xig is a good find, and it has a windowed version to boot with USB 3.0... it might be pricier than the Merc Alpha though
