Welp too late at night. Definitely meant Fahrenheit. Curse you imperial system

If you're in the US it's actually the US customary system, not imperial. :eng101:

e: That looks like a nice case though. I have the Bitfenix Prodigy M and it's just a huge gigantic thing and I remember building it up was super annoying. I've been thinking about just replacing the case. Not even to upgrade the PC or anything, just replacing the case.

Yea, it's a shame they don't sell a mesh panel to replace the window on that. I hate them too. They do sell them for some other cases.

I had one of those. You can put the window as the top panel so it doesn't look stupid. Alternatively I guess you can buy 2 and use the mesh panel from the extra :v:

I think I wanna transplant my current system into a smaller case yet one that provides better cooling/airflow. Here's my current setup:

code:

MSI GTX 970 (stock)
i5-4690k (overclocked to 4.3 GHz) + Cryorig H7
fully modular ATX(?) powersupply
BitFenix Prodigy (the mITX version)
1-2 SSDs (don't need space/room for a optical drive or regular sized hard drive)

In my UEFI I like to set my system fan speed to "silent" because I don't like noise. My GPU gets up to ~75 C playing wow this way on stock settings which seems like, rather high I think. The CPU stays lower than that. Anyway, I'd like another mITX case that's a lot smaller than the one I have and has better airflow for my GPU. It would also be super great if the thing was filtered so dust doesn't get in. Another plus would be if I can keep using my current power supply, but if I have to get another one in a smaller form factor then it's whatever. Other nice things is sound proofing/better acoustics. The reason I leave my system fan on "silent" mode is because it's a bit loud at "normal" mode and this computer is now running my Plex and nzbget so I tend to leave it on overnight and it's set up in my room at the moment. I also want to 'mildly' overclock the GPU as well but I just haven't because I don't understand why it's hitting 75 C playing wow when wow is supposedly non-GPU taxing.

I probably can't have everything so in order of importance for me: smaller size > better cooling > less noise > filters >>> able to keep using power supply and CPU/case fans
