Chassis decision

[Rekraisa]

Looking for help to decide on which PC Chassis to get. Deciding on

1. Phanteks Enthoo Pro M Acrylic - $149 ( Lazada )
2. Fractal Design Define R5 - $169 ( PC Theme )
3. Deepcool Dukase V2 $89 ( Lazada )

All prices are pre discount.. For lazada might be cheaper cause black friday sales soon. I am using GTX1070 Zotac Amp Edition for GPU, no intention to overclock or SLI, using stock fans. Thinking whether airflow and silence will really be a big factor? Can suggest which is better for cable management / aesthetics esp if got use these cases before?

My past experience with R5 is very much positive, ATX setup.

It's also a good case in general, recommended by many here.

r5 is still good for airflow and silence case. cable management ok. aesthetics if u getting window version can consider getting LED strip.

but u can also get R5 on lazada as well.

icic. Yeah I have actl read up on forums here and saw R5 which let me make decision.

Also saw was it zero? Suggest Deepcool for budget casing. Personally I am not very familiar w PC stuff so I thought Deepcool and R5 actually are similar. I don't get the difference haha. Yeah I realised can get on Lazada too. If big discount, definitely getting the R5 White Gold. Hope it doesn't look weird with black monitor/speaker/modem lol.

Actually I like those 3 cases cause they have pros for aesthetics like Acrylic got full transparent side, Deepcool nice front and psu cover. Fractal is just generally ok for me haha

EDIT: It was actually Moneyface haha my bad

yes deepcool is for tight budget user, but the differences between deepcool and FD is the material and build for it. iirc deepcool have plastic feel but r5 is metal feel. so in a way u are still paying for a premium case.

color wise still up to u. (cos u're the one to deal with it everyday not us )

Yeah probably either getting R5 or the Phanteks.. Just that the acrylic window might be easy to scratch :/
Anyone can tell me what is the difference between R5 and Define S?

Also if we buy all the parts of computer, will the wires be red and yellow? haha cause I'm getting windowed version for chassis

EDIT: Will my case look very bare w/o extra fans and stuff? Also using stock cpu fan.
Also, anyone know where to get Phanteks Pro M Tempered Glass?

 

[Rekraisa]

Anyone know where can buy PSU shroud? If getting R5 I want a cover haha.. Dont like how the PSU looks just sitting there

Will lend in my support for R5.

On top of being silent, has good protection against dust as well.

red and yellow? u mean the internal? dun think so...

still up to u want to add anything else beside LED, at fans need to install in a way that the air flow is balance the air inside.

as for phanteks pro m TG maybe can check with cybermind.

For R5, fi I remember right, it comes with 1 fan at the front and back. I recommend getting one more at the front, especially if you have a lot of hard drives since that's where they're located.

For CPU fan, stock is fine if you aren't overclocking, and if your case has good air flow to begin with.

Since this thread on casing, any full tower to recommend?

I love my R5 very much! silent, pretty and subtle, weighs a ton though, it's good if you don't keep moving it. and best is to get from lazada, the delivery is WORTH IT, I was perspiring just carrying it from the living room to my room.
