Not depend on your hardware requirements?

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

Check with you guys, corsair carbide 240 air vs bitfenix prodigy M, which one is better? Or you guys have any other suggestion?

My requirement for casing is

1) Dust Filter - Really useful as I'm using big CM ATCS 840 case with filter and really block a lot of dust.

2) Easy Cable management - Have space to tuck in motherboard cable, going to get modular PSU anyway but would be prefer as neatly as possible, would like to have rubber grommet as well.

3) M-ATX casing, going to get M-ATX motherboard, but getting a graphic card that required three blocks of space. Which is Palit Super Jetstream 980Ti. But welcome other form factor, as long is small.

4) Cheap as possible. Around the price of corsair carbide 240 air or lower.

Thanks!

Air 240 is better imo, fully dust proof better airflow, but can only low profile cooler 120mm, not sure u use water or air cooling.

Since u going mATX can consider Fractal Design Node 804 too RM439.

Hello.

I am hesitating between S340 or Fractal arc midi R2.

And also between H440 and Fractal design R5.

Not sure if i want to spend 300+ on a casing or issit really worth it to spend the extra 100RM on the H440 or R5. Any one can give me some input or feedback or advice?


thanks!

Depending to what you want.
Like my AMD CPU always maintaining at 45-49°C as using CM's Hyper 101(for up to 95W while CPU about 100W), so limitation is at the cooler, not the casing.
Secondly is the bling factor, this is quite subjective.
Lastly, sure is how much you willing to spend. For me, cooling performance and 0 bling factor is important.

For me i like the design of S340.. The dust filter of the arc midi r2. And the silentness of the R5 and also the dust filter. And for h440. its purely the design and also the dust filter part. I guess the dust filter plays the main concern as im quite lazy to clean the internal regularly. What stopping me from the R5 or H440 is im not sure if i want to spend so much on a casing. Haha

Well, with or without filter your casing still will let dust enter.

All the case u listed is pretty good already. Go with whichever suits your budget and design that u like better. I like the Fractal more because some of NZXT back part can be tight for cable management, but that is just a minor issue. For H440 and R5 you are paying more for the sound dampening material in the casing and extra features like fan hub.

Hi, anybody can suggest me CPU casing which is similar to CM Storm Enforcer's dimensions? It must be 230mm wide at least as I am using a tower cooler.
