Right now it's trending towards the newer NZXT H440 and Phanteks Enthoo series but i find no fault going for the HAF-X actually so long as it still meet your needs.

at that budget, here are my recommendations:

BitFenix Shinobi XL
NZXT H440
Phanteks Enthoo series
Thermaltake Urban T81
Cooler Master Cosmos SE
*
also add NZXT Phantom 630 on the list, its old but still relevant today.

plus alot of people still buy it like the Phantom 410. thumbup.gif

Compact ATX... one that comes to mind is the CM N200 or Elite 343....

if you're going for even smaller and don't mind going for a SFX PSU... Silverstone has the ML07 or the RV-Z01 wink.gif

Oic... hmm.. well if a slim full sized mid tower...Elite 361?? it places the PSU at the front of the chassis so it's lower than most chassis that can support full atx mobo but wiring is gonna be a headache

I might suggest fractal design arc Midi R2 http://www.fractal-design.com/home/product...ies/arc-midi-r2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujH42NYOgbI I bought one exactly RM350 including postage

features I like:

- dust filter at front, bottom psu, top. all easily remove.
- come with 3x 140mm fans (rear, front, top). front panel can support up to 2x 140mm fans for better air flow
- 8x 3.5" Hard disk slots (good for my future NAS box project)
- simple look smile.gif

Hey guys,

I went through a small casing phase and got myself a Silverstone SG09. It's been a few years now and I think I'm ready to return to my mid tower cases. Small cases are nice when everything is in place, but I got a headache anytime I wanted to upgrade anything. The case was also quite heavy, something I didn't expect for such a small package.

Can anyone recommend me a cable management friendly mid/mini tower casing that's also lightweight? I prefer something with a less striking look, so no Thermaltake cases for me. The Fractal Design ARC Midi R2 suggested above seems quite nice, but according to the website the casing itself is 10.7kg shocking.gif I haven't done extensive research, but the Cooler Master N200 seems to be like a good candidate. It's a bit on the budget side though, so it's lacking some luxury items such as fan filters and toolless installations.

Relevant specs:
mATX size motherboard
160mm long modular PSU
9.5" GPU
2 HDDs, 1 SSD

Hi guise.. What casing do you recommend with budget rm250? Must have good cable management. The cheaper the better.

NZXT S340, the BEST BUDGET CASE with superb cable management and quality. 90% Steel!! smile.gif Elegant looks! thumbup.gif
Link here, http://www.nzxt.com/product/detail/151-s34...r-atx-case.html

And, our LYN Admin(Goldfries) is using this awesome case too.
You can also search Youtube for it's reviews! Example, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cNWOgbEXMI

Moreover, if you don't like it's current painting job(glossy) of NZXT S340, you can always buy a powder coat type paint spray and change the casing looks.
Because this casing construction is simple and easy to understand.

Hi, I'm currently using a Dell XPS 9100 and I want to change the case to get better cooling.
Especially my GPU.
Heres how it's look like:

Hope you guys can give a good recommendation. Just need a case that gives good cooling.
Thanks.

IMO any chassis will be better than the one you have, I recommend something like the BitFenix Neos, a very basic one that you could also choose colours wink.gif

Pricelist of their sales.

Damn poisonous.. Corsair Air 240 down to RM239 cry.gif cry.gif cry.gif

BTW plain21, last time when I wanted to buy the SilverStone SG09 I had to preorder from the distributor via a seller. Try asking people like lingloong whether his distributor is willing to do the same.
