We moved my 8 core ryzen and mobo into this case for my son a while back and I really like it. It's got closed loop water cooling, plenty of fans and pretty quiet too. https://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-Computer-Chassis-Pre-installed-CA-1D5-00S1WN-00/dp/B00PDDMN6S Since I built my custom

I've decided BeQuiet will be my next case, if I end up pulling the trigger on a new build. I'm sensitive to the noise generation though, so I figure maybe my requirements are different than most. On Mon, Jun 15, 2020 at 1:41 PM James Boswell wrote: > the BeQuiet dark base 900 is pretty damned
