That's a whole lot of chassis to consider bro... can narrow it down a little for us?? maybe specific colour or feature or size that you may want? best of all is of course the maximum budget smile.gif

sorry for that notworthy.gif , personally i prefer

- black/grey colour chassis
- easy cable management
- good air flow (i am not going to use liquid cooling, but air cooling)
- mid tower for atx board
- good quality case (solid, not easy to be scratched hmm.gif )

i found out that nowadays a lot of ppl using corsair chassis, any recommendations ? or there are other brand's chassis which are also good?
please share your valuable opinions notworthy.gif icon_question.gif

thank you smile.gif

Hmm well Corsair does makes good chassis but they're not the only ones that do wink.gif brands like Antec, InWin, BitFenix, Silverstone, Cooler Master and even Thermaltake all makes good chassis.. only see which you prefer smile.gif

based on your requirements, I would suggest these:

Full Towers:
BitFenix Shinobi XL
Corsair Graphite 760T
CM Storm Trooper
Silverstone TJ11

Mid Towers:
BitFenix Ronin
BitFenix Shadow
Corsair Graphite 600T
Corsair Obsidian 450D
Corsair Carbide 400R / 500R
Phanteks Enthoo Pro
Thermaltake LVL10 GT
NZXT H440
NZXT Phantom Series
Silverstone Raven 04
Silverstone PS06
CM Storm ScoutII

These are but a few that I know of with great airflow and cable management, there'll be more if you wanna disregard cable management lolz but have a look at these for starters, hope it helps

i would go through the mid towers parts... full towers are a bit huge for me , but really appreciate you for helping me.
i found out that NZXT H440 & Corsair Obsidian 450D & Corsair Graphite 600t look really nice, really catch my eye shocking.gif

will see other casing as you listed above.

thank you so much bro smile.gif notworthy.gif
wish u have a nice dream smile.gif

I did consider both Corsair 450D and NZXT H440 but either one was missing either cooling performance or sound dampening.

But then I notice the Fractal Design Define R4. It has both good cooling performance (better than NZXT H44) and sound dampening quality.

The integrated fan controller is a really sweet touch, icing on the cake smile.gif

never heard about this casing before, and just done some review on it, what u said is true , i found out that it looks more solid than the 450 & 440 .
also, can put a lot of fans into it thumbup.gif

btw , are you using it ? how is the quality of that casing ?

where can i get this casing bro? icon_question.gif

thank you notworthy.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

Thx bro, however my friend already bought that mobo ... so should be mid tower.. but he is trying to find a smaller size of mid tower (not a hugh huge mid tower )

Btw, thank you for ur suggestion
