Need advice on a new desktop case
02/13/22 10:36 PM


It's long overdue for me to build a new desktop. My current is a 4790k, so no DDR4 (much less 5), no TPM2, and I sacrificed half of my PCIe lanes to install a card with USB C and 3.0 (or 3.1?) ports, even though I'm sporting an Ati 6900 XT.

Main issues: I MUST have a BD burner/player. I currently have 2, in fact (one BD, and a slightly faster DVDRW).

My current case doesn't have any USB C connectors or 3.1 connectors in front. It has 2 2.0 and 2 3.0. I would like to modernize that.

I also use mechanical 3.5HDDs. MAME alone is enough reason to not want a completely M.2 setup... and I currently use like 5 HDDs, and 1 SSD (no M.2), on top of my 2 optical drives. I guess I can live with 1 optical drive, but I'm not ready to get rid of all of that mechanical storage.

Current case is a beast, as you'd expect from 8 SATA devices running... Storm Trooper case.

So what would you guys replace that with?

EDIT: I Guess I can afford to get an M.2 to replace the SSD, and if I must go down to 1 optical, I could do that, leaving 6 SATA devices.


Just broke my personal record for number of consecutive days without dying!
