Hey guys, interested of getting a new casing.

Budget < RM 180
Preferred Brand No preferred one, but I like Fractal Design and Bitfenix style
Must-Have-Features USB 3.0 ports, minimalistic design, mid-tower
Location Selangor
*
Not too sure if you can get Fractal Design chassis on that budget but for BitFenix I can only think of the Comrade for now smile.gif unless you wanna top up a bit to get the Shinobi Window.. the Merc is in your budget but only USB2.0 ports

Hi all! I'm planning on a rig right now to be made from somewhere within December 2014 to April 2014. I'll be using it as a Digital Audio Workstation whilst it being able to handle gaming. I know it's a long way to go, but I'd rather start on my list now then later.

hmm.. this looks like a system recommendation bro smile.gif

Go here-> https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3163951/+2300

but as far as chassis goes, the Fractal R4 is a great choice, you could also consider the Nanoxia Deep Silence series that'll give Fractal a run for their money as well wink.gif
can have a look at our review of the DS1 here-> http://www.tech-critter.com/2014/02/unboxi...-silence-1.html

you can get them for as cheap as RM50 IINM from shops.. those with unknown brands.. or else you can probably get some for free if someone can't sell them off, just need to look around

Hi all, need some recommendation, I'm using a cosmos 1000 now, thinking of changing it to the cm storm trooper, is it worth the change? Main desire was for the USB 3.0, n this fellow seems to be selling it cheap

I'd go gor the NZXT because of it's cable management alone but both are good contenders imo but I don't have experience with them to compare fully

I'd recommend that you stick with the cosmos, you can get the USB3.0 panel like the one in your link... unless you're just tired of your cosmos look already

This is a bot hard... hmm... maybe you should get dust filters?? cause all chassis will trap dust in front first anyway before hitting the filter behind it

BitFenix Ronin and NZXT H440 comes closest to that but you will still have the 5.25" bays covered as those parts are usually what people wanna hide
