Recommendation for PC casing

[feixiang1106]

Hi, folks

can you recommend some good mid-tower casing within budget around 120SGD or a slightly more maybe 150? currently I own a 6 years old CM690 casing with side window, the side plates are shaking and make some noise, therefore plan to replace with a new one without side window and led lights on the casing. Basically I need the casing to hook-up 1x SSD and 5x HDDs, 1x DVD ROM, 1x R9 280x (plan to replaced with R9 390 or RX 480) and full size ATX MB.

thanks in advance for your recommendations.

Can fit any size GPU and screwless installation of peripherals.

It's monster size though, but you get all the interior airflow you need.

R5 user myself, minus the weight, everything is perfect! if you don't move it too much, i think it's fine.

+1. Not a bad deal to get via lazada now. Very close to TS's $120 budget with delivery included.

Normal price: $141 + $7.50 shipping.

10% with DBS code, 2% mobile shopback for free shipping

$126.9 - 2% shopback (mobile) = $124.36

I was looking at fractal today, a shop owner recommended the cosair carbide 400c. Seems very similar to fractal define s?

Any other things i missed out?

i believe thats the price for fractal S? 141, R5 is 161 iirc

just remembered the nzxt phantom might fit the bill too. recent ones look to be of better quality, fit and finish compared to some earlier batches.

it was one of my considerations too when I was looking at casing.

Emm Define S does not fit your requirement. R5 fits. Define S holds a maximum of 5 drives(3 3.5 and 2 2.5)and no ODD cage as well.

yes, as long as you don't put crazy loud/ fast fans, should be great. mine is with a windowed side panel, and still quite very quiet.
