    As a guy who has talked with customers face-to-face and sold gaming PCs out of a brick-and-mortar store for over a decade: There are some who "just want the best" and will 'sort by price: highest-to-lowest' and add two of the top result to cart...

    Irrelevant. Citation needed. As for the comments about cost, I get that but again halo products are almost never cost effective or a "good value."

    Yeah there’s tons of great content on the internet nowadays, RN my 280 is exhaust out of the top and 360 intake from the side of my o11d. It’s still a great case, but not the best for airflow, my last couple of cases have been dual chamber so I...

    Yeah it'll be exhausting out of the top, I won't need to touch any of the stock fans, it comes with 4 x 140mm, I could add the 360 ek cool stream rad from my current PC to the bottom but I honestly don't think it's worth the trouble, I'll most...

    Some would say pull for easier dust cleaning but I prefer push because with a high powered compressed air it blows it out anyway. I would just suggest make sure it's exhaust which I think you already stated cuz if you intake your RAM would be...

    Had to go with Lancool III (black only $140 but RGB version) as the EK Quantum Surface rads are too wide for the FM2, still happy with the case, LCIII is the better performer and more modular, it’s big and heavy though. I preferred the Fractal...

    I’m still leaning towards the Fractal Meshify 2, I like the minimalist design and flexibility of the case, especially for a mid-size. The only other case that I could really compare to it is the Lancool 3, but I prefer the aesthetic of the FM2 a...

    For that price it's a nice buy. It was never a $400 case IMO. They were charging a higher cost because of the included fans mainly.

    There is a commander also with the 3 fans. I agree 400 is too high.

    The Corsair iCue 5000T is available in White brand new for only $205 at my microcenter, is this a superior case compared to the Fractal and Lancool at that price point (it usually sells for $399)?

    Yeah I think kitguru has the best case reviews around at least in video format, he goes into great detail regarding case features and how to utilize them. It’s very similar to the Antec C8.

    Yeah the 6500D is a really beautiful case with a great form factor, there’s almost too many options! I love how the dual chamber cases typically sit shorter and wider as well. I’ve been running dual chamber with the lian li o11d and it’s worked...

    Here is a bit more in depth review of the 6500X as well. Nice case with a few flaws that honestly wouldn't stop me from buying it. https://youtu.be/cmiD4Fr7848?si=Xxq9xus4d25d9Xb8

    Bro how about the Corsair 6500D Airflow? Holy shit look at this thing. Front fans, side fans, bottom fans, top fans, dual chamber, back connect... This is one of the few cases I've seen that checks ever single box. I might get one of these for...

    The Thermaltake CTE E600 Max looks nice as well I’m not sure if I’m sold on the 90 degree angle motherboard mount though. I think Fractal, Corsair and Lian Li are the way to go, but there’s quite a few other great brands like Phanteks, Cooler...

    The new Corsair 6500 cases are looking pretty sweet too. I'm almost tempted to get one myself lol

    I’m leaning heavily towards the Meshify 2 (most depth/length I can comfortably fit), I really like the 5000/7000 cases but they don’t allow bottom radiators. I like the all glass appearance of the NV7 and H9 but the tower sits under my desk...

    I'd say Corsair 5000 or 7000, or Fractal since you mentioned multiple drives. I'd lean toward the 7000 or the Fractal, maybe the Thermaltake, out of what you listed.

    My main am4 system already had 5800x (replaced 2700x). So I decided to switch over to my 12400 on z690 and upgrade to an open box 14700k from microcenter. $333 with included Star Wars game coupon. It also moves me from 2 Nvme slots on am4 to...

    This is the best case I've ever owned. Incredible performance. HAF 700 Cooler Master HAF 700 E-ATX High Airflow PC Case, Mesh Front Panel, Dual 200mm Sickleflow Customizable ARG Fans, 1 x USB 3.2 gen 2 Type C, 4 x USB 3.2 gen 1 (3.0)...
