Thinking about it for a few more seconds, I would still have to buy a PSU as I doubt the one from Dell would be able to handle 6 hard drives.
Today I finally swapped out my 5900X/6800XT build from a mid-tower because a Noctua NH-U12S with the secondary fan attached couldn't keep the CPU cool during heavy load no matter the paste amount/layout/type or fan profile. I've been chasing the problem for weeks with many paste changes and factory resets of all components to no avail. I even used a spare Wraith cooler with the same result. I was getting creep up to 95C and my video card wasn't far off under load. I had all six fan slots in an ASUS TUF Gaming GT301 case populated with high quality Antec fans. Simply put, there isn't enough volume of air for air cooling to work well. This combination was adequate for an overclocked Ryzen 2700 (@4.1Ghz) and 6650XT but not what I'm running now.
I switched to an $80 Musetek case (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CP7SQ58Z) and a $65 360mm Thermalright AIO cooler https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BKK78R71) with Arctic Ceramique 2 paste, along with 5 of the Antec fans and suddenly I can't make the CPU go past 70C under a stress test nor does the GPU break 78C during full continuous load.
This CPU only uses 105w and I'm not overclocking. Many AMD and Intel CPUs are actually pulling 250-425w now and I don't see how midsize cases with heatsink cooling is adequate anymore. I didn't seem to have this problem when I was overclocking Piledriver CPUs on cheap coolers but I also didn't have a higher end power hungry GPU paired with it. Did I simply miss that "quality" heatsink/fan combos aren't cutting it?
Some positives:
Some negatives (nitpicks):
- The open front panel can get noisy because there is ZERO sound dampening (obviously) and the air being pilled through the plastic mesh can create a mild vacuuming suction sound while the fans work.
- The front mic and headphone jack are easy to mix up unless you're looking at it in plenty of light. Would have been nicer if there were some tactile bumps or color indicators that were clearer at a glance.
- The front buttons (like power) feel cheap, but "clicky")
- Too cramped for a lot of liquid cooling solutions (I use air and heat pipes)
- The only top cover included is mesh, which means you will get plenty of dust and harder to control airflow.
- I've never been able to use the front side USB ports because they short every time I pop in a thumb drive or controller receiver.
- The HDD light is on the opposite side of the window, and recessed behind the front mesh, making it impossible to see without leaning over to look directly into it.
Despite my gripes it is a fine case. The lack of sound dampening inherent to the design is my biggest problem.Great case, 4.5/5, will probably buy again when I upgrade soonish
