Case suggestions

Dxer

While my giant HAF-X is still a pretty good case, I have had this thing for the past 7 years.  It is time to look at something else.

Something under $250.  Full Tower.  Preinstalled RGB fans with controller (optional).  Mounting for my 280mm radiator.

 

I am currently looking at a Thermaltake View 71 RGB.  

 

So I am just looking for criticism or other options.

 

Thanks

If you care about the longevity of your computer parts, just keep the HAF X, all the new cases tend to have poor ventilation, like the mentioned View 71, due to tempered, glass, plastic, and other trends. With the HAF X your fans/computer can actually breathe .

In search of the future, new tech, and exploring the universe! All under the cover of anonymity!

How dead set are you on Full tower? There's quite a few options in the Mid tower catagory that can fit your specs while being good for airflow, namely off the top of my head tyhe modern version to the HAF-X, The H500P Mesh.

I am not to terribly set on a full tower, but they do make a fantastic leg rest.  :)  A mid-tower surely isn't out the door either.  That could comfortably fit under my desk.  Your case does look nice.  I will look into it and thanks for the suggestion.
