Hi, recently I decided to buy a gaming case, I don't want to spend more than 100£ = 16k rp. The core features I am looking for are it shouldn't be a very big case mid tower size should b fine (I am using atx mother board) , should support all in one water coolers(radiators like h105) and It shouldn't look like a space ship,,,, elegant design and most of all good build quality.
I did search few cases cooler master n600, fractal define r4, fractal midi 2, nzxt h440, nzxt source 530, bitfenix Robin, cooler master cm 690 iii,corsair obsidian 450d,,, etc but it's really hard to pick perfect one this is where I need your help if u any other suggestions they are welcomed :)

go for the corsair carbide air 540 if you want a case with good airflow it is a bit large if you want a compact pc go with the 250d or a medium size pc go for the 450d

Carbide air is Abuses will lead to banin ugly, go with something premium and sleek like CM trooper or Obsadian 700d/650d

Trooper is "THE" perfect one

540 was in my consideration but it's massive. 450d I fell love with it when I saw it first time. 450d and fractal arc midi 2 I am struggling to pick one as I love both equally

yes the air 540 is rather big like two microwaves on top of each other 450d is really good u could also check out the fractal define r4 these are really popular abroad

R4 does not have good intakes, or does it? It is rather plain from front

it depends on how cool you want your pc to be for myself i wanted to have the most ventilated pc so i choose the 540 plus i like the window i made some filters for the vents which didn't have them and its good to go if you want a good looking case its upto you if i could buy another case i would go with the 450d it looks good has a window and unobstructed airflow

According to my research corsair 450d has bad made quality therfore I decided to go for fractal arc midi 2 case which has all the features that 450d has actually bit more Features plus it's cheaper, I can spend saved money towards water cooling ;)

R4 windowed is same price as midi r2 but the problem with that is front fans airflow is restricted and lack of dust filters. Midi r2 has better airflow and water cooling.
You can open up the front door while gaming + there are removable dust filters at front and botton, but its cool if you like the r2, from where are you getting it and for how much?

    BTW, i started Ghost of Tsushima, and it got me hooked within the first couple of minutes. I already know It's gonna be a memorable experience. This is how you make a proper Samurai game. Not that SJW game Ubisoft is making.

    That's still higher than it's total play length. A 5 hour campaign for a $50 game is downright scammy.

    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.
    The cross gen era really made people think 60fps would be a new standard lol

    Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
