Corsair carbide series doesn't seem to have filters for it's intake except the PSU intake..

so the 200mm side intake doesn't have filter is it?

most common form factors

ATX 305 × 244 mm

mATX 244 x 244mm

mITX 170 x 170mm

Wikipedia

500R... where can I get a fan filter for that 200mm side intake fan?

any forummer selling?

Yeah, I know I heard someone said buy stocking and DIY =.=

LOL I used to think those plain cases are ugly when I started PC building. and I worshiped all those windowed, futuristic space ship styled cases =.=

but today, I'd say that is called elegant and I just got myself a Silverstone TJ08-E.

They're just worth it.

temperature is rarely a concern for the chassis given that if the chassis is well ventilated. even a cap ayam case, if you put the fans in a correct way, the heat can be transferred out of the case also. The difference might be a few degree celcius

other factors are more important such as future expansion for HDD, tower/water cooling, mobo size, PSU size, SLI etc.. because once you start to consider these factors, you're already choosing a proper designed case with good air flow.

Exactly same situation as mine!!

I switched from my K62 to TJ08-E, here's my opinion on TJ08-E compared to K62.

Pros:
- smaller and lighter!! shaves off 5KG of weight. (case alone)
- much classy look with brushed aluminium front
- more space at the back of the motherboard tray
- 180mm intake fan with fan controller
- USB3
- fun to build (priceless)

Cons:
- comes with only one 180mm fan (K62 has three 140mm and one 120mm fans)
- mATX board selection is quite limited
- less PCI/PCIe expansion slots
- less space to work with
- not tool-less design (keep your screwdrivers handy)
- troublesome to install/remove graphics card (K62 has the best expansion slot lock mechanism)

indeed, upside down.

tho merc alpha can put more HDDs

Antec One VS Bitfenix Shinobi VS Carbide 200R VS CM K280

need suggestion...

for me it depends on the
- purpose (workstation, htpc)
- hardware (mobo size, coolers, gc, hdd)
- portability (fixed, portable)

donno why, I don't like CM cases.

Raven 03 is one nice casing..

FD Arc mini available in Malaysia ar?

sometimes, distro's decision is weird...

maybe you can request for unique design for the mod

Did you clean the heatsink for the CPU and GPU?

by the way, if can, please state a clearer budget, because RMXXX is covering a big range..

lol, just remember to clean the heat sink as they are the one who dissipate the heat from the processors, altho the casing and cable management will help but it won't have big impact.

btw, Silverstone Raven RV03 around RM500 as well..

+1 for this, and that's why people mod their chassis to their liking

can look for IdealTech - https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1010580&hl=

RM500, not sure if the lowest of all, but their service is good.

good for you since you got it at lower price than current market price.
