Phanteks, NZXT or Fractal Design

[gadddy]

Hi guys, pretty new to the forum as well as into the custom PC world, so do be forgiving!

Anyways, just want to hear your views about a few PC case from the above mentioned brands! Currently, my ideal options are as followed (order by their price, from low to high):

Phanteks
- P300 TG (~S$85)
- P400s TG (~S$125)

Fractal Design
- Define Mini C (~S$140)

NZXT
- S340 Elite (~S$160)

However, as I'm unable to decide as of now which to get, I would like to ask if any of you on the forum has any experience with any of the above listed case. If so, can you please share your "mini review" on performance of each case, especially on areas about the case's acoustics, cooling performance/airflow, cable management, or even the aesthetics of it.

Thank you!

Go watch youtube reviews of each case. I would recommend hardwarecanucks. He is quite detail and anal with cases. I would also recommend meshify C.

 

[Swiftbladez]

Choose the one which looks you like best

 

[gadddy]

Yup I've been watching reviews, and even so from hardwarecanucks. However, most of them briefly touch and go on the topic. So I was looking for a relatively more "localised" in depth perspective.. But nonetheless, thank you for your comment!

 

[shadow84]

For me, if on budget, P300. For looks define C or meshify C.

 

[gadddy]

@Swiftbladez I think all of them looks really good! Just a tad worried about the cooling performance only ahhaha

@shadow84 I agree too! I think the p300 TG is the most bang for buck! But still, I'm slighlty worried about the cooling ahahha

Meshify C. No need to worry about cooling anymore.

These are all well reviewed cases, so just go with the one you like best.

P300 and S340E are almost identical. I myself is using S340E and the temp i got is so-so. So if you intend to have high overclock you should look away for these. P400 should have better airflow as it allows for more installation of fans.

 

[jeff119]

Take note that p300 got no front fan.
I only realised when I bought it for my bro.

edit: can look at Silverstone RL07B-G too. Looks very pretty.

What do you mean by so-so? I am currently not planning to overclock anything even tho my GPU is capable of overclocking

Yeah, but I also realised the p400 might look a little tad too big for my mATX mobo..

Yup I know that the p300 has no front fans included. So I'll be purchasing some aftermarket ones to include. How's the temp and cooling performance so far for the p300?

 

[Coool11]

So-so meaning average temps, nothing to shout about. My 1080ti is running 70-75 degree for graphic intensive games on ultra. Cpu on average on 50. So if you don’t intend on overclocking, by all means go ahead.

Ahhh.. The reading sounds good! I guess I might not have to worry too much.. Thank you for sharing!

No worries about P300 TG bro. We have sold a few containers of this casing already. So far so good.

Lazada selling at $99. If use HSBC code, can get $10 off.

 

[sp0inK]

Where to find S340 elite at 160? Cheapest I saw is 165 on a SLS pricelist
