I hope everyone had a great Christmas, and didnt drink too much!! I am now looking for a new case and wondered what you guys thought of my short list. Fractal Design R3 Fractal Design Arc Midi NZXT Phantom 410 (Bigger brother is too big!) These are what I am torn between. I like the R3 for the quiet operation, however I think it looks a bit boring and has only one USB3 port. I have always liked the phantom, but it was too big. So the 410 is a good idea, but lacks dust filters. And I like the looks of the Arc, but with only one USB 3 port its not a future proof as the 410. Also with the meshing, i am not sure how loud the arc will be in real life. If you have any other suggestions, please shout them out. I am looking for: Quiet operation (Doesnt have to be silent, but the quieter the better) Nothing too flashy Fan controller would be nice 2 x USB3 (My current setup doesnt support USB3 headers, but in the not to distant future I will be upgrading) Dust filters would be a plus Im not watercooling, so dont need the space Thanks for any help!! If anyone has one of these cases, feel free to tell the pros and cons.
The new R3 (USB3 version), is the USB powered from a internal Mobo header or passthrough cable? Thanks
