Reddit reviews Thermaltake Versa H15 SPCC Micro ATX Mini Tower Computer Chassis CA-1D4-00S1NN-00, Black

Because I'm bored and do this for a living I'm going to put together an alt build for you:

Nice entry level Skylake gaming Mobo (I've used this, it's nice, has USB 3.1 which will be very helpful in the coming years for data transfers)

Processor: G440

RAM (only 8GB but get 16 if you can afford another $40 or so)

no reason to spend more with this build:

Case:

total cost of build is roughly:


Mobo ($70)

CPU ($60)

GPU ($170)

RAM ($70)

SSD ($60)

PSU ($30)

Case ($40)

So total is roughly $500 and with this build you have a great upgrade path, which you won't have at all with the one you proposed.

My CPU is running 10 degrees Celsius cooler as well because there is a much smaller volume of air to cool down.

Here is what I have

Sweden? It's a $40 USD case my friend. If you want to pay the shipping, you're welcome to it but it's probably not worth it.

Its also a micro ATX. I was going small and stealthy.

Edit: looks like you'd save something like $4.00 US if all you pay is shipping... So PM me if you want.

I know with the Q300L you can unscrew the panel with all the inputs and screw it to the top side of the side panel. But I found this or this

Something like this, or this if you like cube cases. Case choice is definitely personal choice though, so whatever looks good and has good reviews

>I know at this point I am pretty much just being nitpicky, but will the yellow color of the RAM be apparent when inside the case? It'd be better if the colors matched a bit better. Would something like the G.Skill Ripjaws V in this 2x4GB alignment perform well with this setup of speeds at either DDR4-3733, 3200, or 3000?

Spending that much extra just so you don't have to paint ram is silly IMHO. Paint wont hurt cooling much and you can make them whatever color you like.

>Any suggestions for a case around that price that is microATX with a window (and if possible a PSU shroud)? This is the list of cases under $65 and to be honest not a lot of the cases on there are great, and those that stand out are more around $60.

Understood, but if we are being efficient, a mid ATX case is going to save money, and fit the PSU (referring to your post below). Going with the carbide 88R, define c mini or masterbox 3 would just be spending more money to be smaller, compromise part fitment and likely cool worse. If it has to be smaller, the masterbox would be best - comes with two 140mm fans and is widest for CPU cooler clearance. Fractal runs second coming with two 120mm fans and being a bit narrower. Carbide only comes with one fan, I wouldn't waste time with it.

>I did some research and found that the Thermaltake H15 case that you linked earlier is not sold in NA, but is sold in Aus, UK, LatAm, and more.

Strange, amazon seems to think its available. But no matter we're on to windows anyway.

Price is creeping up with this smaller case configuration, and we've already sacrificed 8G of ram in the name of looks and size...

Thermaltake Versa H15

Thermaltake Versa H22

If you plan on going micro-ATX, the Thermaltake Versa H-15 is a fantastic deal for $28. It has great airflow, just no bells and whistles.

Will do! I'll be off work in about an hour so I'll start working on it then. Case is this.

It's not a fancy case but I hope it will get the job done

Absolutely! I'm open-minded on it. But money is a bit tight for me which is why I'm leaning towards turning it down.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CLIZ698/?tag=pcpapi-20
You're positive this case will fit the build? I'm not sure about specifications or anything like that & I'm not sure how to test compatibility either rofl.

Good thread. I don't want glass either. It gets prints on it, costs a premium, has to be cleaned, can be shattered, is bad for the environment and sentient beings and is highly unlikely to be recycled. Although if you are a conscious person you can smash it up wtih a metal pipe, bricks or a 2x4 until it becomes sand like.

Glass is a backwards gimmick to indebt people more.

u/brentguthrie1996, I'm replying here because it's impossible to keep track of conversations in reddit's inbox.


Regarding Reviews:

• Motherboard has no reviews because it is technically brand new, but it is just a slightly modified version of the non-max model. It has plenty of reviews on Amazon and on Newegg.
  
• Memory is memory, and there's no need to look at reviews. They're all the same as long they have the same specs and come from a well-known brand.
  
• Case: has 1000+ reviews on Amazon.
  
• If you have any other questions about a specific part let me know.
  
  Motherboard Compatibility
  
  MSI's MAX series motherboards were specifically released to be compatible with Ryzen 3000 series cpus. PCPartpicker gives you that warning because all it knows is that it is a B450 motherboard, and most B450 motherboards require a BIOS update to be compatible. However, at this point most B450 motherboards have been updated to be compatible with Ryzen 3000. The problem is if you order online instead of going into the store, you don't know if you'll get an older version that hasn't yet been updated. That's why I'm recommending the MAX motherboard which is guaranteed to be compatible.
  
  Note on Memory
  
  3600mhz CL16 memory is now available at a good price. $85 G. Skill Ripjaws. You should get this instead of the 3400mhz memory in the original build.

Maybe the Silverstone PS08B or Thermaltake Versa H15

Okay good, one less thing to worry about lol. Yes everything is from Amazon Canada. And what do you think of this?

Maybe something like this, no side window, small, made of metal.

Perfect! Check out this guy. It' sthe Thermaltake Versa 15. Really good case for $40. otherwise here's a list of everything that fits your requirements.

Since you said he would like a smaller case this is what i recommend for a case is this: https://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-VERSA-Micro-Gaming-Computer/dp/B01CLIZ698 or if he wants a window and is willing to spend more i recommend this: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811352065 and for mobo: https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-1150-HDMI-Motherboards-GA-B85M-DS3H/dp/B00VX1GGWQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1488086026&sr=8-1&keywords=Gigabyte+B85M-DS3H-A+LGA1150+Motherboard

Found another full mesh front. MicroATX though, and no window. $45

Thermaltake Versa H15 is small for a mATX case, but not the smallest. One 5.25" external, mesh fascia, 240mm radiator support, cheap.

Yah Yeet

Thermaltake Versa H15 or DIYPC DIY-F2-O or Something better around that value? Having serious difficulty making a decision.

Don't get that old ass fx stuff bruh. It's not worth it as you can see.

(I just did this quick and rough btw don't hate)

Can someone give me suggestions on a cheap Micro-ATX case? The case I just built in has fans that have an old 2 pin male adapter, so I either need to buy some new fans or a new case. The case is also huge and ugly, so I've been looking at ditching it all together. My build doesn't need much room (1HDD, 1050 TI Mini, Hyper T2 CPU cooler, micro-atx mobo) here's what I've found so far Thermaltake H15, Cooler Master N200, Rosewill Ranger M, Rosewill SRM1
