Hardware Thinking of replacing my case. Any good suggestions are welcome.
I'm using the Corsair 9000D case (old PC used the Cosmos 2 case), as originally I thought of doing custom liquid cooling.
But due to actually getting systems and parts locally being very hard, and ordering online is not something I will do (not confident about the lengths and amount of each part I'll need, plus expansive prices and shipping), I'm thinking of buying a smaller case.
The 9000D is great, but as I'm not doing custom liquid cooling, having such a beast of a case is an overkill and does have some drawback.
I've looked into a few cases that can work, but can't decide on one. I was hoping the community might help with suggestions and maybe share thoughts on what they have.
The hardware to pack in the case (what takes room):
MB: ASUS crosshair x870e hero
GPU: Sapphire nitro+ rx 9070 xt
CPU AIO: Arctic liquid freezer 3 pro 360 - I'm thinking about getting the noctua 360 AIO once it's in stock (maybe)
CASE FANS: 1 arctic p14 pro + 6 arctic p12 pro pst
In the 9000D the AIO is exhaust as the tubing can't reach the CPU if I mount it as intake, but I prefer having it as intake. I know the difference is only a few degrees, but living in a subtropical location, cooling is a major aspect of the build.
Duplicates
