  @sepsuwee08
  
  suggestion ko sayo, get noctua u12s, di mag fifit yung u14s and d15 unless babaguhin mo yung orientation ng cooler para magamit mo yung 1st pci x16 slot ng Maximus Gene VIII mo..
  
  Im also using Asus Maximus Gene VIII with Cryorig R1 Ultimate medyo mas malaki ang D15 vs Cryorig R1. pero ni remove ko yung 1st fan kase tatama sa ram. medyo mataas kase yung ram na nabili ko. inaantay ko pa dumating yung 1 ko pang order na manipis na fan para sa replacement nung fan na tinangal ko

  Ano pa ibang option maliban sa r2 mini? Na same price or below? Basta may window

  @jahy420
  

  Ano pa ibang option maliban sa r2 mini? Na same price or below? Basta may window

  
  I don't think meron available na Micro-ATX tower case with window at the same price range. Yung closest I can think of is Corsair Obsidian 350D pero mas mahal siya.
  
  Kung hindi mo pa nabibili yung motherboard mo, here's what I suggest:
  
  Phanteks Enthoo EVOLV ITX for Php 3900 = Uses Mini-ITX motherboard but size of case is smaller and more compact than Fractal Arc Mini R2. Has case window and PSU shroud with direct air-flow cooling so no harddrives are blocking the fans. The case window is also resistant to scratches so it looks very clean. If you will only use 1 GPU then consider going for Mini-ITX motherboard to get a more compact case.
  
  NZXT S340 for Php 3500 = Can use Micro-ATX or ATX motherboards. Size of the case is about the same as the Fractal Arc Mini R2 so might as well go with an ATX motherboard. Has a huge window, PSU shroud, and direct airflow cooling (nothing blocking the front fans).
  
  Just take note na both cases don't have optical drive slots so you won't be able to use a DVD-Drive. Personally I would go for the Phanteks Enthoo EVOLV ITX kung hindi mo pa nabibili ang motherboard and thinking about a compact gaming build. Otherwise the NZXT S340 is your best bet :-)

  May board na talaga ako mAtx, lipat bahay lang sana sa maliit, case ko ngayon ay nzxt s210, parang malaki ang s340? Base sa sukat niya mas malaki pa sya sa case ko ngayong source 210

• sleepygeepy on 12 Dec 15 @ 11:36 AM #

  @jahy420
  
  To give you an idea of their sizes:
  
  NZXT S340 = 38.45 liters
  Fractal Design Arc Mini R2 = 41.16 liters
  NZXT S210 = 42.51 liters
  
  Among the three, pinaka compact parin ang NZXT S340 but not by much. Kung gusto mo ng mas maliit na case na hindi cube type, consider mo ang Silverstone TJ08-E or Bitfenix Prodigy M / Phenom M. Yun lang walang case window but I think may windowed variant ang Prodigy M.
  
  Silverstone SG09 and SG10 na yata ang pinaka compact na Micro-ATX case, pero wala silang case window at may kamahalan din.

• boy_android on 13 Dec 15 @ 12:58 AM #

  Share lang:
  
  Palit lang ng mas compact case, Silverstone SG10 from Silverstone FT03B... Same 3 year old internals (i7-3770, Asus P8H77-M, 8gb Corsair Vengeance DDR3, Palit Jetstream GTX760 4gb, FSP Aurum 550 Gold).
  
  
  
  
  Sana next year sulit na mag upgrade.

• Aricomambo_king on 13 Dec 15 @ 02:18 AM #

  Ano nga pala ang gamit nyong pang optical drive kung walang slot ang case?

• tidusjawo on 13 Dec 15 @ 02:26 AM #

  mga sir question po pano po lagyan ng fan ung rakk phantom x (wish ko lang meron po sa inyo nka try :) )

• adio on 13 Dec 15 @ 05:06 AM #

  Ano nga pala ang gamit nyong pang optical drive kung walang slot ang case?

  
  Your only option is an external ODD sir. Medyo costly din sya compared to an internal drive.

• xguinsoo on 15 Dec 15 @ 08:31 PM #

  Mga sir, good buy kaya ang Xigmatek Spirit M? Kasya kaya sa likod kapag kinabitan ng extension cables yung PSU? Parang maganda kasi eh.

• ernzt371 on 16 Dec 15 @ 01:23 AM #

  @nand2k
  
  Yep ganun ginawa ko kaso panget tignan kasi di mo malalagay sa likod dahil ung mount nya matatakpan kaya naka front mount sya.
  ito itsura nya kaya napapangitan tuloy ako di na malinis tignan hehe.
