Hello to everybody.

Im building a new PC and I'm looking for a case that looks stylish and smaller than the Fractal Meshify 2 XL I have. I have to move it often and its very heavy.

It'll go with a Asus Strix x870e-e Gaming, 9800x3d, NZXT C1500 Platinum ATX 3.1, RTX 4090 Suprim.

If possible, I would prefer to use it with 140 fans inside the case and the aio Artic Freezer 420 for the cpu. Since the 9800x3d is not that hot like the 13900ks I'm using, a Arctic Freezer 360 is probably not that noisy.

I ended up with this options. In order of preference:
Antec Flux (white), Lian Li 216 (white), Fractal Meshify 2 (black), Fractal North (black).

I never thought of getting a white case but it can look good in the living room.

Only the Antec Flux and the Fractal 2 can fit a 420 radiator. The other Lancool 216 and Fractal North fit 360 radiator.

I only used in the past Phanteks, Corsair and Fractal cases. Antec and Lian Li never used.

Which one do you prefer for my usage?

Thank you
 
It’s not on your list, but I had a similar problem - sometimes needing to move my PC. I chose the Stream BC1, it’s very compact and easy to transport.

Thank you Jaceq. It looks really good. Handy to move around and no problem with cooling sizes of radiators and fans.

I can't get it because the aesthetics is very gamer or basically open pc. In the living room I'm not allowed to have this. I'll get it for sure.
That's why I chose those "stylish" cases.

I decided for the Antec Flux White. I can but the Lian Li Lancool 216 easier here in Spain but for what I have reading the Antec should be a bit better quality. Both are very similar.

I did that during my youth, when everything was light as a feather. Now, I simply buy some laptops and carry them around for extra usage, whether at work or home.

PC's are generally large and fixed to their foundation, so no carrying will be allowed. Plus, having numerous 3'5 inch drives increase their weight as well.

In the end, time will sort everything out. Just my own personal realisation here :devilish: .
