Once you have chosen a motherboard, you also have to make sure that you have an appropriate case for it. They’re more affordable than a mini-ITX setup. One way you can save money is by going for micro-ATX motherboards. If you have a big budget, you can go for the best of the best on the market, but there are still ways to cut down on costs. This is beneficial for those who need powerful CPUs and GPUs for gaming or heavy tasks like video editing or 3D animation. These days, things are different because more and more people are building their own PCs from scratch. This means that you didn’t have control over the hardware that came with the computer, and all you can do was choose any upgrades the store might offer. My MB itself is limited in the headers so this will be another thing I'll be upgrading soon enough, probably with a B450 or X470 or similar.Back in the day, people were limited to picking whatever computer was available at a particular store. I want a high airflow case (~$150AUD) that will still allow me to show off my ML120's and AIO and be able to keep temps down with lots of fresh air blowing over the GPU and MB. She got noisy but temps stayed low-ish in a 27deg room. GPU temp peaked at 68deg on about 80% fan and CPU peaked at 72deg, with PWM profile on CPU1 and SYSFAN1 headers on the "aggressive" profile. I've only just installed the H100x today and have given it a quick run on Metro Exodus on ultra. I live in a hot climate and this upstairs room will be blasted by sunlight in summer which is coming (australia). The top intake fan has air coming in from the side vents only and it's air flow is very weak in comparison. The bottom intake fan has access to the best fresh air and is pumping half of it into the PSU/HDD tray and a little bit into the main area for the GPU fans to pick up. The issue is the front facade on the case - it has a perspex panel in front of the two fans, with vents on the side and bottom of the panel for fresh air to be drawn into. I also have a Corsair H100x with 2x SP120 fans on the radiator at the top, pushing air (exhaust) through the radiator and out the top of the case. I have 3x Corsair ML120 fans, two intake at the front and one exhaust at the rear. If there's cases that have larger fans on the front (140mm->200mm) that will then allow me to put my ML120's elsewhere (or use them for the AIO instead of the SP120's) would be beneficial. TLDR: Any options on mid/full size cases for $150AUD that have room for 3x ML120's + 240mm AIO are welcomed. I have a very cheap case which works well enough but airflow for the front intake fans is pretty poor. Hi there, hoping for some advice/options for PC cases to suit my build.
