I’m about to sell my old pc and upgrade. I have already decided on other parts .
But still can’t figure out what cabinet to choose. Budget is 6K . **The one i like right now is Adata XPG Defender Mid-Tower for about 5.2k. **
Looks are must. I really want something that I can show in my video RGB and stuff.
The Cabinet should have good airflow and removable front panel to make it clean easier coz i get a lot of dust in my room.
Glass panel sides are optional. Will buy separate ARGB fans.
Fans color is not changeable *(this might be dealbreaker for some, but I don’t care about it) → *you can buy fans of your choice if you need configurable RGB and it would still be much cost friendly.
It doesn’t have magnetic dust filter (I did a ‘Jugad’ for that though)
I’ve used both the 4000d and the 216 from lian li.
XPG one looks very close to the 4000d feature/size wise.
4000D is actually really small.. and there is no airflow for the gpu.. whereas lian li 216 is very big in size compared to 4000d and has 3 very big decent and espically silent fans included.
u can opt to put 2 120mm below the gpu for better airflow and it can also accomodate a 360mm aio in the top.
its a no brainer and quite honestly looks way better than 4000d or similar cases with good looking fans.. here is a picture of when i had it:
Cooler master TD Mesh 500 should fit your budget and your requirements. Comes with 3 preinstalled ARGB fans, and support for a 360 AIO. I have been using it for over an year, and I absolutely am impressed with the case. I bought it for around 6k from hotshiftpc.com
I am currently using it, and the airflow is exceptionally good, even with the stock fan configuration, it has oodles of space on the inside, along with a generous fan/RGB hub and excellent cable management.
OP, stretch your budget by a bit, and you will feel the difference in quality and functionality. You can now get it for as low as 7.8K.
The 4000D is tiny next to the 216, comes with only one fan, and is inferior in build quality.
