    I've been using a Fractal Design R5 for 7 ish years and looking to modernise / feel like a change. Budget max is around 200 euro.

    Recently put together a pc for a family member using a corsair 4000X which i found a little small but liked the aesthetics so I'm thinking the 5000X but open to suggestions for similar mid towers as I'm not that experienced with what's available/good now.

    Priorities, drive space (current set up has 3 hd's installed + 2 ssd's mounted, I'll be keeping some hd's for my plex), usb c connections , glass panels, some lights but doesn't have to be crazy. Using a Noctua D15s as a cooler right now so that takes up a chunk of space for air cooling but willing to change to something more low profile if i had to.


    thanks for any recommendations.

    I bought a Phanteks P600S recently, I researched for a bit before buying and I'm pretty happy with it. Got it from caseking.de. Seems to tick most of your boxes, but it’s quite big. I only have SSD drives but it comes with HDD bays (not installed in pic)

    Lian Li LANCOOL II Mesh C (without RGB / with RGB) if you want a case around the same size.

    Be Quiet Silent Base 802 if you don't mind larger.
