CiT Classic Midi ATX PC Case and 500w PSU Included, Budget Friendly Business and Office Solution | Black

Product Information

Building a system inside the 4000D Airflow is straightforward enough in our testing, with plenty of room where we needed it most. The channel in front of and behind the motherboard tray makes routing your main cables much more effortless. I found that the 011 Dynamic is great for a custom loop, as there are many excellent distro plates that can fit into the front of the PC-O11, but it's just as well suited to your usual AiO or air-cooled setups. You can install AiO and radiators up to 360mm pretty much anywhere you are on the top, bottom, and side of the case. The very first point of consideration when choosing a case for your custom PC is the size of the motherboard. You need your motherboard to fit in your chosen case. We like to think that at this point you have decided on all the major components of your build and are now looking for a suitable case. With support for an array of hardware and extensive custom liquid cooling, the Raijintek PAEAN Premium Mid Tower Case is a true gem. Its clever three-chamber construction and chic design is both an eye-catcher and a PC enthusiast's dream, able to accommodate up to three 360mm radiators. Constructed in both steel and aluminium with a front and side panel of 4mm tempered glass, the Raijintek PAEAN Premium is as robust as it is sleek. The Features of Raijintek PAEAN Premium Mid Tower Case at a Glance: This intelligent design divides the Raijintek PAEAN Premium into three separate sections. These include a large main chamber, a secondary side chamber, and a final base chamber below them. As a result, this makes for excellent cable management and keeping your gaming PC looking sleek. Additionally, it allows for separation between the particularly hot components and the rest of your hardware – a helpful boost to your cooling system. A Closer Look At The Chambers

The main chamber houses your core components such as the motherboard and GPU. With plenty of space available, the Raijintek PAEAN Premium can host up to an ATX form factor motherboard, a GPU up to 430mm long, and a 360 radiator in the top panel. What’s more, the motherboard tray has a cut-out for a distro plate, should you wish to include one with your cooling system. Intel created the ATX form factor and first introduced it in 1995. For nearly 25 years, the ATX design has been the predominant form factor for home and office PCs. All these features are crucial for any motherboard. The mounting points keep the motherboard away from the case’s metallic surface to prevent electrical shorts. The I/O panel and accompanying shield allow you to access your PC’s rear ports for displays, audio, and USB. Then, you have the power connectors and all the other interface points that must be in predictable locations to aid system builders. The CM SL600M is the first case we've tested with a vertical chimney design for its cooling that makes sense and works. Cooler Master went all-in with the SL600M, completely sealing the front and moving the entire PSU shroud and housing from the bottom to the front of the case. That newly opened space, combined with generous feet, allows the case to funnel the airflow directly onto the GPU.I have the bright red Hyte Y60 in the PC Gamer office, and it's a lovely case to build into. We even managed to stuff Intel Alder Lake alongside an RTX 3080 Ti in record time. That GPU was mounted vertically inside the machine, and unlike some other cases we've tested, it was rather easy to do in the Hyte, thanks to an included PCIe 4.0 riser cable. The thing to keep in mind when looking at the dimensions of a prospective chassis is the length of graphics card you want to put inside, and where you might be mounting any water cooling radiators, you might want. If those are going in the front, be aware that will cut down on the space you have for a GPU. How much should I spend on a mid-tower case? The Raijintek PAEAN Premium Mid Tower Case has an intelligent 3-chamber design with plenty of space for hardware, and is primed for custom liquid cooling. p>With support for an array of hardware and extensive custom liquid cooling, the Raijintek PAEAN Premium Mid Tower Case is a true gem.

Constructed in both steel and aluminium with a front and side panel of 4mm tempered glass, the Raijintek PAEAN Premium is as robust as it is sleek. The H500M comes with two massive 200mm RGB LED fans installed, which do a fantastic job of increasing airflow out of the box. Other modern touches include a USB 3.1 Type-C connector and tons of modularity, including the option to choose between a mesh or tempered glass front panel.

Whether you're pulling together a whole new PC, or just rehousing ready for some upgrades, these mid-tower cases will offer enough space—far more than the best Mini-ITX cases do. When searching for the best mid-tower PC case, keep an eye out for those with ease of access to your components, good fan and radiator support, great airflow, and high build quality.Of course, Corsair is no stranger to RGB lighting, and this PC case is covered head-to-toe in the stuff. That's because it's more than a PC case: it's three LL120 fans, six RGB lighting strips, and the Commander Core XT controller. And, yeah, a special PC case. The largest of the three motherboard sizes we’re looking at, the ATX measures 12 inches by 9.6 inches. The specification requires all ATX motherboards to be this size. It also specifies the locations of the mount points, the I/O panel, the power connectors, and all other various connection interfaces. Again, from biggest to smallest, here are the different PC cases to fit the four different motherboard form factors above. Generally speaking, a mid-tower PC case will house all, but the most extreme of system builds. If you're trying to cram in discrete water cooling loops for your graphics card and high-end CPU, you might find things are a bit too cramped inside. But for most high-end gaming PCs, a mid-tower case will be plenty big enough for your needs. You'll find easy-to-remove dust filters on the top, front, and below the PSU for easy cleaning. Popping off the front panel is simple, making installing fans or a radiator that much easier. This makes regular cleaning of your system less of a hassle.

There's enough space here for various radiators and cooling setups—you can fit up to a 360mm radiator in the front and a 280mm radiator on the roof. Although the latter can be tight against the top of the motherboard, it's still possible. The base chamber has been specially designed to accommodate radiators that will keep your Raijintek PAEAN Premium running at its optimum temperature. There are large air slots for natural airflow along with accommodating up to two 360mm radiators and fans. Raijintek PAEAN Premium Mid Tower Case Specification: Dimensions Though for some neat optimizations here or there, the actual layout of this case is a pretty standard one. That does make things pretty easy when it comes to cooling configurations. There is space for three 120mm fans at the front, or two 140mm fans if you'd prefer. Up top, you can fit the same again. The Lian Li O11 Dynamic Midi Tower standards slightly elevated on steel feet with rubberised standoffs to enable cool air to push its way through the bottom of the case which is equipped with dust filters. The chimney principle causes the warm air to rise upwards, whereupon it escapes through the cover which is also equipped with a dust filter. Two additional dust filters cover both perforated grids in the right side section. The elegant Lian Li O11 Dynamic Midi Tower is not merely a feast for the eyes that is easily capable of housing a great deal of gaming hardware, it is also especially suited for PC enthusiasts that want to create custom loops for cooling their hardware.

Mid Tower Cases

The MasterCase SL600M has to be one of Cooler Master's most beautifully designed cases. It features anodized aluminum with a sand-blasted finish and just enough attitude to make it look sleek, futuristic, and elegant, all at once. We were even more impressed once we opened it up to build in it. It is possible that a larger case can offer greater cooling, particularly with the potential for more airflow around the main heat-generating parts of the PC, such as the CPU and graphics card. But without sufficient fans creating that airflow, a bigger case can still lead to heat build-up without them being correctly positioned. This PC case is on the smaller side of those we've tested, but it's still compatible with motherboards right up to EATX. That's made possible by a clever internal layout that puts functionality and ease-of-use up-front for the user, as much as it makes everything look great. Out of all the neat features I like about the 4000D, the fact that it has both USB Type-A and Type-C ports on the top panel is pretty clutch. Though I did wish that same front I/O panel offered a little more. The Raijintek PAEAN Premium Mid Tower Case has an intelligent 3-chamber design with plenty of space for hardware, and is primed for custom liquid cooling.

The 5000T is a PC case for showing off your components as it is a home for them. The huge tempered glass side panel offers a window to its clean-cut innards and color-matched accessories. You won't find cable in sight with its clever cable management, either. Corsair has made some excellent chassis over the years, but the appearance of some of them was starting to take precedence over functionality. That changed with the release of the 4000D Airflow, which shows that the two schools can be combined for a great-looking case that offers excellent airflow. The ventilated front panel means the fans can run slower and quieter while providing the same level of cooling over closed-off cases.

The Overclockers Difference

The Raijintek PAEAN Premium Mid Tower Case was designed to accommodate large and powerful hardware. Made from steel and aluminium, it is robust and stable, with options for showcasing your expensive hardware thanks to the 4mm tempered glass front and side panels. The crowning feature is its three-chamber design. The Y60 also makes a vertical mount of your graphics card a doddle, with a robust riser cable attached to the chassis in two places to keep it and the GPU steady. The Lian Li O11 Dynamic Midi Tower can fit an E-ATX motherboard in the left chamber, a graphics card up to 420 mm in length as well as a CPU cooler that is up to 155 mm in height. When it comes to the installation of AiO- or custom water cooling, the case offers the possibility of installing up to three 360 mm radiators at the same time: On in the top, one at the bottom and one next to the motherboard. To that end the motherboard tray has been angled to the right in comparison to earlier designs. Air inlets are located on the front right hand side of the case. These ensure that heat produced by high-end components is dissipated efficiently and effectively. The different motherboard form factors and sizes are as listed below, starting with the biggest to the smallest: Granted, it's not the smallest mid-tower PC case going and one of the more expensive we've tested, so if you're looking for either of those attributes, then look elsewhere on this list. However, it is perhaps one of the smartest and cleanest on the lot. This thing is beautifully crafted from steel, plastic, and tempered glass, and while that means it's pretty heavy, it's a real statement PC case for a high-end PC build.
