Fractal Define 7 isnt a gaming case, its a quiet build case...and has very good thermals for a case like that/with soundproofing.
You might use it for things like audio recording etc.

Far as I was aware, you can still choose to send in your own case.
You need to be careful about if its will fit though, so check things like fan capacity and dimensions to ensure GPU can fit and stiff like that.

It's a pity that PCS don't do the "Submit Your Own Case" option any more. The one I'm thinking of going with (Corsair 500D SE) seems like a really good case but is quite colourful with the RGB fans. For someone who doesn't do any gaming it might be a bit much. The Fractal Define 7 case looks stylish but from what I've seen elsewhere has poor thermals. Given that my previous PC died after less than 3 years I would definitely be concerned about temps not getting too high. The Thermaltake Core X7 case also looks stylish (and would accommodate a Blu-Ray drive) but is getting pretty poor reviews on other sites.
PCS do "submit your own case" option, but it's just not available on a non-uk website, but if you got through https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/ and choose your country, it's available.

They do still do the send in your own case option? It’s still the same as it’s always been?
