Still awaiting my most important part to arrive... My Mobo!

But I have messed with it abit here and there already... Build quality seems rather solid I'd say... Paid $138 after discount (Listed price $158 during 11/11) Titanium / Window version

This case is considered a tad heavier than others due to the quality of the build.. Hence, the free delivery directly to your doorstep is definitely a plus!

Frankly... I was torn between 2 brands of chassis only... Corsair or FD...

Then later I chanced upon the Phanteks Enthoo Tempered Glass after purchasing R5 lol

decided to build my first rig and bought all the components from Amazon during Black Friday.

will get casing fr local retailer considering the shipping fee. but having some troubles selecting a good model after researching online and a few hours in sim lim..

requirement: solid and durable (plan to use the PC for 5-6yrs); better have two usb2.0 and two usb3.0 on top. will OC in the future so cooling is impt.

budget: below 150

currently looking at Cooler Master HAF912 (frd's recommendation) and Cooler Master Storm Enforcer (very similar to HAF912 but one less fan)

my build: i7 6700k, gigabyte z170 gaming-7, cosair 8GB*2 3000MHz, Asus STRIX 1080, Crucial MX300 750GB, Seagate 3TB, RM750x, C.M Hyper D92,

Any other recommendations?
Thanks!

WAHHH your build so good ah? Sure damn ex sia! How much you pay for these?

Silent or not, end of the day mostly would be dependent on the type of fans you have in it and not entirely the casing :s22:

You can get the WORLD's most silent casing but with shiet fans, you would still end up with a noisy setup!

Just get a decent case with whatever looks you like and most importantly, with good fans in there if you want nice and yet silent..

Do your homework.. check the dBa vs airflow carefully etc..

Likewise if you choose the world's lousiest chassis, but you have real good fans in it, you will still end up with a very quiet setup..

Fractal Design R5, and Corsair 400 ba?

Im using R5 personally, and it is really customizable/modular. Comes with CD-rom bay, but can be removed for putting radiators. Comes with 7HDD bays, in 2-separate trays, and can be removed to meet your needs. Has ample backroom for cable management. It is deep enough to house fat/tall/long gpu cards. Im using gtx 1070 no problem. Wont have clearing issue with radiator.

Audio+Mic jacks can be found infront, 2xusb3.0 and 2xusb also can be found in front.

Amazon will send a US$20 rebate to US address. I dunnoe if it is in a form of cheque or credits or something. But it is not for int'l customers.

The int'l words in amazon is to show that this item is eligible for int'l shipping.

ken_lzj · Nov 30, 2016

from what i remember the rebate will be in PDF form. yeah i know usually it will be mailed to us address
