I guess I'm falling into the marketing and hype train on tempered and hell, even RGB right now.
I'm going to be doing a build that includes the 2700x, 16GB of RAM, 1TB M.2 among other things. I'm trying to find the right case for the system and really think I love the Phanteks Enthoo Evolv. Something about the subtle but not square front of the case really keeps me coming back to look at it. I'm not sure how I feel about the backside being tempered glass, where you will see wires and all run. I suppose I could go even more all out and go old school sleeves over the bundles of cables.
This is going to be for a customer who will use the box for audio and some video editing for a radio station (video for their website). She is retiring an older i7 system that started to give her trouble and it seemed like a great opportunity to give her something nice to look at as it will be sitting on a very large and wide desk. I even think perhaps taking the side panel to another customer of mine who does glass engraving and having the radio stations logo or something put on it would be fairly cool for when potential investors come in for meetings with them. It would light up fairly nice in something maybe like the Corsair Crystal 460x/570x on the front.
Anyhow, open to some ideas if anyone has experience with these. I was trying to keep the budget around $150ish. I'd even probably go upwards of $200 and eat some cost in my build fee just to see it look that much better.
