i need best case for eatx mb as rock taichi?

"i want your opinion"

"OK, here it is"

"Screw you. You are wrong."

:kookoo:
 
The case will only impact noise is so far as if it's extremely restrictive or has odd fan blade passing frequency, they will produce more noise. There's a lot of good cases out there nowadays and it's mostly down to a matter of taste and what you need. It'd only say to avoid cases that put fans against solid walls, because that's obviously not going to work out well.

If you want silent, that's largely going to come down to getting high quality fans and tuning the fan curve. Best on the market are still the phanteks T30. You can really get a silent PC that's also performant with these fans.

You can retrofit any case with 5.25 inch bays with these to get more USB C / USB ports:


Although 5.25 inch bays are becoming quite rare.

Dark Base Pro 901 is this a good choise? vs fractal vs asus vs lian li?​


Dark base is good, definitely geared towards the enthusiast. It's not necessarily cooler or quieter than others though. BeQuiet fans tend to run best at low RPMs but have lower static pressure and worse performance than competitors, particularly as you extend beyond those low RPMs. Thermally the case didn't measure amazingly either in GN's test, middle of the pack. Not that such a thing is bad, you can do better with improved fans.

Fractal has some very good cases, the Meshify tops the charts in terms of noise normalized performance. Lian Li O11 started the whole fishtank trend, although you are buying that for the looks. The thermals are otherwise unimpressive. You can also look at Montech and hyte, both are making quality products at very good prices. No idea about ASUS cases, haven't heard anything about them.
 
@kevinflyn like the others have mentioned, there's only a single usb type-c header for the front of the case, unless you're adding in a pci-e expansion board with another usb type-c header. You're going to struggle to find one that's usb4 spec. (power delivery or speed)

Speaking of 5.25 inch, one of the (few) modern, modern-looking, EATX cases is the Fractal Pop Air XL, wonderful case with 2 5.25in bays. This is the case I am going to use for my next build as it is one of the few cases that fit my requirements. Also, decently available, and also exists in white. (I know white Optical Drives are not really available, but you can just go 2000s case-modder style, remove the bezel and spray-paint it white.)

If the OP was truly knowledgeable he would have gotten one of these 2 boards

1. Asus X670E E Strix

2. MSI X870E Godlike

At Computex MSI also showed off the X870E Ace Max.

All of those boards have a ton of USB C ports on the rear I/O and cables are inexpensive on Amazon even for high speed cables.

Too bad the OP seems to have come into his post with a pre-determined as it is glaring that the OP does not know that there is not a single MB that supports more than 1 USB C front port. Though I now think that there is one of those super expensive Asus boards that might have it. The truth is those onboard USBC take up too many lanes so MB vendors give you extra M2 instead. Or 2 USB Type A.
