Hey guys. I am looking for a good case to do a build for the wife. Something mainly black preferably with some purple on the exterior if possible (I can always Paint or add some graphics on the case in purple if needed). Lots of mesh screens to allow purple lighting from the fan lights to shine through. I also would like to note that I think it should be something "Water cooling friendly" I'm thinking that I have a spare 360mm x 45 x 120 rad and a spare 240mm x 30 x 120 rad to use for this build. (would prefer to use single 360). I've got a MSI Z97M Gaming and a MSI Z97S SLI Krait motherboard to start this build off not sure which one I want to use yet. Combine that with a Corsair RM850 Silence, Gigabyte GTX 970, Intel 750 / 400gig PCIe SSD, i5 4590 cpu and a xeon e3 1231 cpu (thinking she should get the xeon), 4 Seagate Barracuda 3 tb drives and two WD red 4 tb drives. I don't have the ram yet but I will probably go with GSKILL Ripjaw 2400mhz DDR3.
My wife doesn't do a lot of gaming but does do a lot of graphics and video rendering and a lot of 3D cad programs on her computer. That's why she is going to need a lot of storage. Her current computer is a MSI 990FXA GD65 motherboard with fx 8350 cpu, an r9 290x vid card and a Corsair Graphite 600T white case. She absolutely hates her computer! She thinks it's an ugly monstrosity. She thinks it's big ugly and loud. She would like something pretty slightly compact and black. She likes the NZXT Phantom cases but not the size of most of them. I showed her the corsair carbide 540 and she thought it was worse. She also liked the antec 900 but it's not so water cooling friendly.
I think what she actually likes is the mesh in the front with the glow of the fans poking through. (pretty colors) lol
Any and all suggestions welcome!
