Budget: Below RM 350
Preferred Brand(s): None
Must-Have-Features: ATX, Solid, Good airflow but need to be covered as much as possible - full mesh is no-no (if possible no need to worry about accidental spills on the case - I have a clumsy housemate)

Any recommended PC case ?

1. price range : 350-450 +-, of course cheaper better. smile.gif
2. Able to remove the front grill/ or even top grill , so that i can clean my front/top 2x140/120mm fans easily.
Just an example :Obsidian Series® 450D Mid-Tower PC Case
3. Provide good ventilation.

Doesn't matter if the case looks ugly etc.

Thank you. tongue.gif

Currently using CM690 for few years already. Want to change it to a small and compact size as I am bored with bulky size casing.

Currently using these;
Leadtek GTX650Ti BOOST 2GD5 O.C
Intel E3-1230v3
Asrock B85M-HDS


Budget - Below RM400
Preferred Brand(s) - ANY, as long as it does not electrocute me. laugh.gif
Must-Have-Features - Small, compact, good ventilation.
Location - SEL/KL

Suggested to take this Carbide Series® SPEC-03 Red LED Mid-Tower Gaming Case. Want to hear more opinion from other forumers.

Since you use mATX mobo, why not Bitfenix Phenom mATX version?

Obvious difference is:
Phenom is for mATX (mini-tower) while SPEC-03 is for ATX (mid-tower)....short vs taller.
Phenom hardware orientation is different from normal casing. (front PSU / upside-down mobo).
Phenom airflow also have different direction compare to normal casing (from top to rear/bottom).
Phenom appearance is simple & sleek compare to SPEC-03 which is bit fierce to me.

Maybe you can search an online review for both case (or any case you interested) as many as you can before deciding.

As I am placing it on top of my table, align with my keyboard and monitor, would it cause extra heat to my CPU as well? I honestly do not care of the design as I am already giving up on looks. It's the size and compact-ability that I want.

Thank youu! smile.gif

Not sure about that, have to ask real owner of this casing. Clem1982, any thought of this?

Or do you interested in Sugo SG02F?

Cooling on the Phenom-M is actually okay as you could mount fans on the top and bottom as intake and the exhaust to the back.. just keep in mind that you can't install 3.5" Hdd at the bottom if you go for this config, best to use 2.5" drives and SSD for this on the side cage that comes with it wink.gif and yes, it is not the smallest chassis around for mATX chassis

Other chassis that you could consider would be Corsair air240, Aerocool DS cube, Silverstone SG08, Xigmatex Gigas, Corsair 350D, Fractal define Mini, Silverstone FT03... lol lots... just google wink.gif

thumbup.gif Good~! Even though that Air240 not really small in term footprint size....still unique casing nonetheless.
