GammaGlobulin Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 (edited) So, anyway, I returned to Amazon USA to buy a case. I found one that seems good. But, the shipping cost from the USA is almost as much as the case, itself. What is the best case for my motherboard? I do not like glass on the case, just because I see no reason for this, and it looks CHEAP. I am OK with this price: I was just about to CLICK .... BUY.... But then, I saw that the shipping cost was CRAZY.... So, anyway, if anyone might be willing to chime in here, then I would be grateful, as usual. TV is really good for helping members to find better choices. My budget for the best case I can buy in Taiwan is about USD140.00, or so. Still I would like to save a few dollars/pounds, if I can get something better than this for LESS. Thanks to anyone who might reply in a helpful way. Tks, and , regards, Gamma Note: I like my boxes big. I have plenty of space on my computer desks. Even a full tower might be acceptable if I could get some sort of special discount. I just need reliability on the switches, power buttons, ports, etc.... Thank you again. Note2: I do not use a GPU, a discrete GPU, and so I will not care too much about the width of the box, simply because I have only a CPU cooler (air), and no cooler will be required for the GPU, which I never use. Note3: FYI... I have this motherboard sitting in my desk drawer just collecting dust.... I need to buy a case for it, and then I will assemble it.... Tks, once more....

ABCDBKK Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 TBH, I'm ok with whatever the case may be! It's really a case of up to you. In any case, whatever floats your boat. Let's just put this case to rest. Is anyone else even following this case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, somebody already made a very good suggestion concerning the best/most-efficient/quietest fans for my box. I am, indeed, indebted to all the good support I have received from TV members. TV members have never failed me, in my times of need. Thanks to all! TV is a wonderful resource. And so, I do my best to contribute, in kind, as my way of paying back for the fruits that I have been given. NOTE: I purchased the CPU over a month ago.... The i5-13600K....

If you live in BKK I would suggest taking a trip to Rangsit ZEER lots of computer cses and friendly people to help you. Bring the board and tehy will set it up for you. If not check out JIB or adviceit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I will opt for the Fractal R5, which has fans included. (I hate the glass window. But, beggars can't be choosers.) Thank you for your suggestion, however. Maybe, I will find an even better case for less money.... Hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Pantip Plaza had changed radically, recently. But, yes, about 8 years ago, there were many computer shops there. Still, at Pantip Plaza, the best computer shops were actually not there, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you assemble your latest project, I trust you are aware of the Thai penchant for not earthing electrical circuits. My son found that out when he was putting together a desktop for me, and the case was live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, normally, this issue is not a problem. The main concern is static electricity, if one is assembling a computer in a very LOW humidity environment. Just stand on a stone floor.

Expat4life66 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Check out Advice PC, either link below or on FB. they have a huge inventory of all PC parts, and very responsive to FB Messenger and LINE. I bought my latest DIY rig from them, same motherboard you post above and about same processor. I'd recommend my glass case but you said you don't want that. https://www.advice.co.th/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I have nothing against them. I will look for a Fractal case, given our link. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
