Good computer case to buy?

I really like the new ASUS TUF 501 or something. Had 3 front fans and sufficient space. Plus I need to retire all my HDDs and throw in some SSDs so was thinking about shifting my build to a new case.

Any other better recommendations. I can’t find the Lian Li that everyone seems to be using here plus it is expensive as **** all.

Can someone recommend me a case from this website. Microless.com. Thanks
 
ive had really good luck with my corsair case over the last 4ish years after going with coolermaster for years before that. good fan filters are important for me as well as lots of space for wires, and this has it.

I have the same case. The lack of PSU cover is disturbing.
Space wise it is one of the best as I have so many HDDs cramped in it. But going with a full SSD setup in ASUS TUF will allow for 2 NVMe and 3 SSDs so it should be fine. Size wise it is comparable to the 760T.
 
That ASUS Tuf case needs another spoiler...

2 just isn't enough.

EDIT: Never mind that is Velcro.

Why?

This seems like a good build. You guys have better options?
 
AFAIK, the best cases with a normal layout are the phanteks p500a and the lian li lancool mesh II.

At least when it comes to thermals.
 
Ok let me check those. They are slightly more expensive but feel a bit smaller than the ASUS TUF and the 760T.

Those are the two I looked at recently as well. After a bit of research, I decided to get the Lian Li Lancool II Mesh. It's a fantastic case! Very well built, super easy to cable manage, very clean look, filters on everything, good access to everything, and quiet/cool.
 
My 13 year old Antec case is falling apart. The flat plastic fingers that hold the side panels in, they're become brittle so half have broken two months ago during my video card swapping shenanigans. The front dust filter press/release doors don't even work anymore, so the doors just hold themselves in place with gravity and a tad of luck.

If I could get this exact same case but more durable and USB 3.1/C in the front, I'd get it in a heartbeat. I get the impression modern cases don't want you to install optical drives and go overboard on the RGB bullshit, or they suck.

I thought about making a thread like this but meh computer still works, will limp along.

Subscribed to see what case KAC ends up with.
 
Man all the cases posted here except the Lian Li mesh are like 250-300 bucks. I am not going to have extreme water cooling or disco inside my case. I just need something that is basic and can do so with some RGB.

Only one slightly above the ASUS TUF is Pro 2.

Yeah, I was in the same boat...

I just wanted cool and reasonably quiet without all the RGB nonsense to go with it. The Lancool Mesh II fit the criteria. The others are great if you want to do water cooling and stuff it full of rads.

Thanks for posting pics. Yeah not for me. I think I like the ASUS TUF looks better than this and want to try out a 3 120 MM front fan setup. I already have a 2 140 MM front fan setup and while it does the job, it isn't the best in the world.
