    Hi so I have been thinking about getting a new case for my pc.

    I have been using the same one for the past few years as it was
    gifted to me and it has last through a few upgrades.

    Now though I'm feeling like something new and would appreciate
    if you guys could recommend something that is suitable for the
    parts I have.


    My pc currently consists of

    -i5 6600k cpu

    -hyper evo 212x cooler

    -z170 extreme4 motherboard

    - 8gb corsair vengeance lpx 2400(1 stick)

    -asus 6gb gtx 1060

    -some generic 500gb,its getting on in years at this stage.

    -I can't quite remember the brand of my power supply(would it matter?)


    My budget is 100 euro.

    Thanks in advance guys.

    I recently moved my build from a Corsair 730T to a Meshify C from Fractal Design.

    Really nice size case. Far smaller than the 730, and temps only went up slightly (only have it a couple of days, so not sure on exact numbers, but in and around 5° at most). I very much like the bottom dust filter being removed from the front too, means I stand a chance of actually cleaning it for once.

    Not a bad looking case at all,I assume the different C editions I'm seeing on amazon
    are similar enough?

    Yeah, just comes down to what colour you want, and if you want a glass or solid side panel.
    Amazon actually didn't have the solid panel one in stock when I checked, but Scan have it.
    Otherwise it's a glass version, and I think there's a dark-tinted one as well.

    There's also the define C, which is very similar internally, but just a different aesthetic outside. It also has noise dampening foam on the panels.

    Mine is a Fractal Design Define C TG. Absolutely love the case.

    Cooler Master MasterCase Pro 3 here (mATX beast the size of an ATX case).

    It's oversized but the airflow is phenomal.

    So I ended up going for a meshify c with a tempered glass side panel.

    I must say I am very happy with this,very quiet,noticeable drop in cpu temps
    by a few degrees and great cable managment.
