I am wanting to change my case and have 3 that I really like but can't decide between. If you could give me your opinions of the pros/cons or anything about these cases I would greatly appreciate it!

I'd recc meshify C for air/aio, Meshify/Define S2 for smallish-custom loop (1 thicc 360mm + 1 slim 360mm), and PC-O11 for serious custom loop (2x thicc custom loop)

The enthoo evolv has a nice internal design, and the removable front panel is neat. There are some creative drive mounting spaces of you don't like the drive sleds they use, but not many, so extra 3.5" drives might be unsightly, so I'd rather go for the Lian Like PC-011

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

To springboard off this comment, the P600S has the same internal layout as the Evolv X, and is very similar Spec wise to the Define R6 and S2 (I made a blog post comparing all the features)

 

Any of the cases you've selected would be great, jsut make sure if you get the PC-O11D than you get a couple of extra fans, as the only fans in your system would be the one on your AIO, so you'll want probably 2 intake fans mounted somewhere. .

Thanks for all the input, I have decided on the pc-011D and will pick up more fans as well as change out my old 280mm aio with (most likely) a 360mm

Good choice.

 

I have the PC-O11D and I love it. Building in it was great and the air flow is amazing. Enjoy!

What setup do you have for the fans? I saw where its best to have 3 bottom intake, 3 side intake and 3 top exhaust. But side intake looks bad, and that matters too

Don't mind the question mark.  I moved those top 3 LED fans to the side as intake and the bottoms as intakes and the rad up top.

 

I think it looks fine.  I want to change all of the fans one day to the same brand and some RGB just to make it look more uniform.
