I've had glass side panel cases for like... I don't know, 15-20 years by now. Never managed to destroy one, even when carrying those fuckers to LANs and shit. Unless they started using super low quality shit that breaks on any sort of contact in the last few years, I doubt this can be anything but user error.

Behind the motherboard tray, on its side most likely. There are a bunch of cases with that layout. Kinda sucks though, since the case is extra fat. Less tall than usual, but honestly tall is easier to fit than fat a lot of the time.

Depends on your hardware. 5090 with a Ryzen 9 X3D of some kind or god forbid an Intel CPU, then yes you do need 8 fans.

>>714575998
And how many intake fans?

>>714576286
don't be silly.
my 5090 and 14900k has 2 front intake fans , 1 rear out fan and a 280mm aio on the top, all fans running in silent mode.

>>714576495

>>714576492
intake fans?

>>714575604
No of course not

2x intake 140mm
1x exhaust 140mm
Plus good cooling on CPU and GPU
Decent space inside

Is perfectly sufficient
Especially with undervolted Ryzen and not OCing GPU

>>714575604
Meanwhile my PC.
Don't ever put radiators in your case. Biggest waste of money I've ever spent. Buy a single fuckhuge radiator and plumb it outside your case somewhere. I'm in the process of gutting every rad from my case and building my own custom mount for them. Learn from my mistakes.

Just don't be a retard and don't place it on the floor.

Is it possible to find a prebuilt PC without RGB and/or glass case? I don't know why they're so popular.

>>714578603
because pc parts have become aesthetic minded and manufacturers lean into that
>customize your lights to match your room or case
>see your graphics card light up and observe your well routed cables
microcenter might have some but theyre just so ubiquitous now that you might just have to accept a glass or acrylic panel and just turn off the RBG with software
on the positive side this also means you can observe motherboard error codes without removing the panel and keep an eye on dust

>>714578460
Where else do you put a PC??

>>714577047
Don't trust me much, since I have only had my PC for like a month so I'm still new to this, but this is how I have them set. 3 120mm intake side fans, 2 140mm intake bottom fans, 3 120 exhaust top fans and the Thermalright Phantom Spirit EVO 120 air cooler for the CPU. My CPU idles at around 50°C and my GPU at 30°C.

That's a very unfortunate situation.

Personally I don't like these glass cases or the RGB crap. My case is a big black metal box. My PC goes on the floor under my desk, and it even has a disk drive on the front. It's not outdated or anything (I just built it last year and I went all-out), I just don't like these reddit-tier meme PC's that go on top of the desk.

Personally I prefer to decorate the top of my desk with toys and figures of characters from games I enjoy. I have some amiibo of Nintendo characters (the Pikmin ones are super cute), a figure of Dr Eggman (classic version, in his ship), some Yugioh figures like Dark Magician Girl, Toon Blue Eyes White Dragon, Toon Summoned Skull, and the Millennium Puzzle, Gabumon (Digimon), some Touhou Nendoroid's, a figure of Knuckles that holds my DualSense controller, and then some random stuff like a radio/cassette combo player (it's really cute), Rubik's cube (I'm down to 90 seconds!), old ipod mini that I modded, 3d printed Pot of Greed, etc.

You can't out cute stuff like that on your desk if you have your PC tower sitting there. Also it would make the desk area become really crowded and I need space to put stuff (the figures are fine because they're on shelves beside the monitor).

>>714578957
>On your desk to the side (vertical)
>On your desk under your monitor, as they were originally intended (horizontal)
>On an end table near your desk so it doesn't take up space on your desk
>Mounted underneath your desk. This can either be Horizontal or Vertical depending on your preference
I'm most partial to the last option. My main computer is a toaster so I just have it mounted flat under my desk. A semi-decent one only costs about 20 bucks.
>but dude, my gpu
Either mount it with the motherboard on the bottom of the case or mount it tall instead of flat.
>but dude, my airflow?
Shouldn't really be an issue

>>714569987
And your PC. You're supposed to dust it every once in a while.

>>714578603
Without RGB? Yes, products tend to be both ARGB and RGB-less, but ironically enough, sometimes the RGB versions are cheaper, but you can just turn them off. Closed cases? They're becoming less common, but there are still options out there for relatively cheap, just keep in mind that they have good airflow.

As this anon said >>714578920 , PC building is now also about aesthetics and personalization, added to the fact that the USB ports on the cases are now placed on areas where placing the PC on the floor becomes inconvenient.

>>714579403

This happens when you don't have any exhaust fans, and the pressure builds up until it blows the side panel off.
Rookie mistake.

Depends which part of the cpu. HWinfo gives me temps between 35C and 55C for the cpu on idle depending on the individual component sensors.

>>714570642
I was retarded and bought the version with the glass pane. It's a big case but it also has annoying braces and shit so i'll have to dump it the next PC I build
Not bad for what will end up 10 years of usage though. Due to Noctua's kraut space magic I was even able to fit in a replacement 200mm fan on the top, apparently it can't screw in but the rubber inserts just werk. Pic related

>>714584550
I'll be honest with you and say that I don't know, it has been like this from the beginning, and I'm sure I applied the thermal paste properly and have the cooler well placed above the CPU. Hasn't caused me any issues nor throttling so I think it's fine, but I could always reapply new paste, since the one I used was the one that came with the cooler.

Can't really show more at the moment since I'm out of home.

>>714578969

>>714570642

Nowadays they are. It's been so long since I've seen a case with plexiglass. I guess there must be a massive stockpile of tempered glass somewhere because there's no way it's cheaper.

>>714586379
>muh negative pressure

>>714586394
And glass is more expensive, yet that's all you can buy

Even the shittiest $50 case I could find when I built my PC had a tempered glass side panel and all steel/aluminum construction. The only plastic is the feet and the front I/O.

>>714586656
Yes exactly. When I bought a new case in 2020 the only case I could buy that had no glass was a $350 mATX case from Lain Li.

You can still do it, but it'll cost you. Except for the motherboard. For some reason budget motherboards don't have RGB, but all other budget components (GPUs, fans, coolers) now do, I guess to try and make it feel more premium.

>>714587291
You can easily get a case without a clear side panel. For example, I bought the Bequiet Silent Base 601. No windows to be seen anywhere. I think most bequiet cases have no window variants, but there are many other manufacturers who make cases like that. I think fractal is one.

At least 95% of all recommended cases have glass. You have to go out of your way to find one that doesn't and it's fairly certain that nobody has reviewed it. Or they have and they said it sucks. Glass is the default, stray from the orthodoxy at your own peril.

>>714589118
I don't know about recently but over 30 years there's been several points that have obsoleted cases

1) atx itself is larger and more expensive than matx and everything the vast majority of people need can be bought onboard with the motherboard. If you forget something or don't predict something you need one slot.

2) Switch to bottom placement of the power supply is better so a real 140mm exhaust fan can go up top.

3) Disk drives / front bays fell out of use. If I need one I just use my USB one.

4) You don't need a stack of 3.5" drive bays anymore, most people don't need a hard disk at all. If they do it's just one you slap somewhere.

5) With all that shit out of the way you can get great airflow through the front of the case or front side corner.

6) Your graphics power cable will catch on fire if you case isn't wide enough

7) Your front USB needs upgrading.

Who gives a fuck? It's a case. The whole purpose is to keep the components inside safe and have something to mount everything to. If my PC can't survive a tumble down a flight of stairs, it's in a shit case. If it survives, the case can look like it was bombed for all I care.

That's because it's just a store that has to inventory a shitload of cases so they keep the version somebody will likely buy. Order the solid or mesh panel version on the internet.

it would still work with a mesh panel. It's frame rigidity that matters. The most fragile part of a PC was the hard drive and those are gone for most users now. Secure your video card with a table leg so it won't snap at the PCIe slot.

You literally have a co-CPU you can't control in your CPU that can connect to the internet and do all that, and the person that did the counter for that (coreboot) trooned out.

>>714591083
you're worried about the fucking walls of the case when the whole thing is held up by a few screws and everything has lots of wiggle room that can make it snap under stressful conditions?

>>714591809
It's "cool", but it only adds extra to the total cost, along the fact that you need an even bigger PC so the fans aren't blocked by the glass if the GPU is too close to it. Needless to say, it's completely worthless.

Remember to add a PC Speaker to your computer.
The PC Speaker is the way your computer tell you that it is indeed a direct descendant of the IBM PC, a clone that got freed from the clutches of IBM, a computer free from the brand.
It has in it's heart some implementation or emulation of the Intel 8253 PIT, and it will use it to beep, to tell you that it is indeed a real machine.
If you don't, your machine has no speaker and it must beep

I did actually along with an SR-2. The sole GTX 680 I had was dwarfed by the case. The case is even still sitting in my parent's basement because I tried to sell it and the guy who bought it just wanted the side panel, which was far cheaper to ship.
Now I have an MATX case and buy reasonably sized components because AIB GPUs these days are overkill for what they're trying to cool. It can't actually fit a 5090 or anything larger than the 3070 Ti I have in it.

To run DOS and older versions of Windows.
The 8235 is not only used to control the PC Speaker but it's a general timer that can be used for preemptive multitasking OSes and all that shit.
On Win 95/98/NT etc.. it is programmed to "interrupt" the CPU 512 times per second.
Basically, the PIT will tell the CPU to jump back to Windows after the time is up, so no program can kidnap the CPU forever.
On modern computers there are more advanced fancy timers that do exactly the same shit, but if you remove the PIT, you break old windows.

I still have an HAF 922 case
Heavy as fuck, all metal construction, could drop it out of a second story window and it'd probably survive (although it's a gamble if the components inside do)
They just don't make cases like this anymore though, which is a shame

>>714595782
Also i forgot but the PIT is used by basically all modernish (286 and up) DOS games to run the game loop.
You can configure it to run the loop at any frame rate you want, and base all the timming and shit off that.
Unlike consoles, the PC don't have a video interrupt thing, so you use the PIT instead.

The mini, mid, full tower distinction has stayed more or less unchanged for the past 20 years, no? Hell, this case can fit a 355mm card inside, and an RTX 5090 is 342mm. I don't know, newer upper end cases might have some propping-up solution for heavy GPUs, maybe?

>>714595408
>it was probably screwed on too tight & hit pretty hard
That case doesn't have screwed glass panels, you just slide them from the top and they get secured with the top sheet of metal.
This nigga just tried to slide it and didn't properly line the prongs with the holes and the rest is history.

Yeah I realised I should have gone with mesh, I'm suffering this summer, oh well, you live and learn.

Wanted the smallest profile case that still supported ATX so I ended up getting a Tower 300 despite being a disgusting showroom style case and just finessed an ATX board inside. Could have gone for a more small profile ATX-style chink case, but finding one that supported a full sized PSU was fucking impossible and I wasn't about to buy another.

I have a Define R3.

If you take out the bottom front fan you can make it work.
It is a chore trying to find cases and parts without glass sides and RGB these days. I keep my PC on the left of my desk, so it's not in my eyes all the time. I wouldn't want my PC case sitting on top of my desk, the fan noise would bother me if it wasn't the RGB.

>>714597406
1 TB drive can be pretty tight if you want to play more than a couple of modern games at a time.

better for cooling too since the bottom fans can actually pull air

I've only got 96 games installed on my PC, maybe 8 from the past 5 years, and I still use up 3.5TB of the 4TB I've got. Definitely go for as much storage as you can afford.

Yeah, you and literally every other person on the planet. The Fractal North is the most popular case in the world and other manufacturers are making wood accented cases to compete.

It's not the best performance per price ratio out there, but it's good enough for most. Of course there are far cheaper cases out there, but they look more boring and might lack in terms of build quality etc.

kek did the same with my case. Only cost me an extra $70, but it was worth it to not be seen as a glass sided normalfag.
Smashed the glass panel in my back yard hulk style.

>extra 70

I hope you're using speech-to-text and meant 17 otherwise you got raped

>>714605854
Nope, $70. Well worth the price. The case was $210, so very little extra.

I could maybe see it if they were fake disc drives instead, since you might've gotten a brand new DVD reader that's a finicky piece of shit that you absolutely wouldn't want to use for making copies of PS1 games over your semi-reliable CD drive. But disks, yeah get the fuck outta here.

Would mod a Fractal north front plate into my meshify compact with the solid panel, if it's possible and not too difficult.
I doubt I could get one that just snaps on.

I don't understand how people can be so clumsy with something so fragile. Just take the glass panel and lay it flat on something soft. I just laid mine on my bed whenever I needed to open my PC. Doesn't matter now though since went full blackout on my current PC. No rgb to karma farm means no reason to look inside of it.

It's not the 5090 that's the problem, it's the founders edition
Also try power limiting, it pulls 575W at stock but can easily function at 400, why they're shipping these new cards with the crappy small fans instead of larger 120s or 140s without the gay plastic covering every inch of the heatsink is beyond me, would cool much better
