Hi guys.... planning to refresh and build a new computer after 6 years.

Going for Ryzen and probably MATX...

Currently already hooted:
Zotac 1060 3gb itx
Crucial 525gb ssd
WD 1TB blue 3.5"
EVGA G3 650W
Corsair 16gb LPX 2666 rams

Planning to hoot:
Gigabyte AB350M Gaming 3
Ryzen 1600

Need opinions on casing:
Currently considering:
Fractal Design Define Mini C
Corsair Crystal 460X

Preference of casing is
1) good airflow
2) clean design (not gamer type look)
3) smaller than my current K62
4) Aluminium if possible

Will be putting it on the floor, so power button at the top will be good.
Currently got 2*$100 Lazada gift card vouchers to use so that might be a consideration as well. Price below $300

PS: OOT... how come like never hear pple hoot Lian li casing liao

Lian Li has clean lines.

Nowadays, people want bling bling RGB + tempered glass.
hmm yea.. tempered glass is nice... when it's clean....
That corsair crystal did look nice but i'm lazy to keep cleaning that's why hesitating

Imho, if putting on the floor then no point for tempered glass cos u wun really be able to admire ur build. Get a hardy one will do cos likely to get kicked or knocked Ard.

If u putting on the table then can get more bling

Thanks for the advice.

Just now saw the Phanteks Enthoo Evolv mATX Tempered Glass.. maybe tempted by that.
Or just stick to Design Mini C

Since u putting down on floor..No point paying extra for side window unless there no windowless option for the casing of your choice.
