I'm looking for a case to start a new build around the rtx founders edition cards design.

I'm looking for a case that:

  • Is ATX or smaller
  • Has an open look with lots of windows, clearly showing the internals
  • Has the ability to install the graphics card vertically
  • Complements the clean, modern look of the rtx founders edition card (No gamer angles)
  • Isn't heavy or boxy looking
  • Isn't almost as wide as it is tall
  • Isn't seriously expensive

I serious dig the style of Thermaltake Core P3 Curve, however the lack of top and rear paneling and off-center position of the feet is a deal breaker for me. If this case had metal panels covering the top, bottom and side this would be my ideal choice and definitely represents the style of case I am looking for.

Unfortunately unlike the Core P5 there is no option for the Core P3 to come with side panels. I had considered the Core P5 but ultimately decided it was too big for what I need and way too expensive to be a good choice.

Lian Li PC-O11 Dynamic? 

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

Thats definitely a step in the right direction, but the white and aluminum parts being different colors really bothers me.

Its not a deal breaker but I would have preferred if the case was more like the H700 with the power supply located on the bottom covered by a shroud, making the PC taller and less wide.

Necroing the thread, I appreciate the recommendations but I'm just not satisfied with what I'm finding. If I were to describe what I'm looking for it would be a case that looks almost exactly like the Corsair Carbide 678C but with glass on the front that shows the fans (Also that case is way overpriced, what the heck!).

 

Here is my WIP parts list if it helps, I think I'm going to settle on black/RGB.
