  1. Enthoo Pro
  2. Swiftech Helix fans are good if you keep the RPM down. Cheap too.
  3. If you like the pro, the Enthoo Luxe is also good. It's got the same internals as the Pro, but has pimpin' aesthetics.
  4. I have a 360 Monsta in push/pull in the bottom of my Enthoo Primo. I cannot fit the drive cages in. I recommend that you use an adapter and put your HDD in the bottom optical bay. The cabling might be a little messy, but you won't see it due to the shroud.
  5. You'd be making a good decision with the Luxe. The primo would look really empty. I really like the look of the white Luxe as well. I have a white Primo and it definitely stands out. You should be able to fit all of your listed components, provided your 360 rad isn't thicker than 45mm.
  6. In a sad turn of events, the Gentle Typhoons have been discontinued. :angry: If you see them in stock anywhere, let me know!
  7. The only cases that conceal optical drives are the 330r, 550d, and Enthoo Primo. For what you want, the Primo seems like overkill. Aside from the optical drive situation, the Enthoo Pro and Luxe are superior to the 330r and 650d in terms of quality and features. I recommend the Luxe because it has some very cool rgb lighting and has the rad support you want. If you want to spend a little less, the Enthoo Pro has all the rad support, but without the lighting and sandblasted aluminum finish. I have an Enthoo Primo and have been very impressed by the layout, aesthetic, and general build quality of the case.
  8. It really depends what you are using the case for. Are you water cooling? How many drives do you have? What are your priorities for this build? Neither is objectively better without context.
  9. Looks good. You can't really go wrong with the d5 or those fans. You might want to also consider Scythe Gentle Typhoons.
  10. My name is Jed. My username is Jed.
  11. I don't think there are any OEM filters that are not the standard ones. It seems that it would be fairly easy to remove the foam and use individual fan filters, which are available from a wide assortment of vendors. You could also cut your own filter from a less airflow restricting material, if you wanted.
