Preferably not a mini or micro atx case

 

A tempered glass side panel

 

Tasteful RGB (i want to see my rig, but not obnoxiously)

 

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I see you have the P350x listed in your "soon to be " spec list. I would then suggest Phanteks Enthoo Pro M SE or Mastercase H500 suggested above

Why do you have to wait 2-4 weeks?

Newegg has it now....  But the NZXT is more my style.  The CM H500 is gaudy with those massive glowing fans.

You're right, I don't have to get it from Amazon, but i have prime and i want to use it. 

 

Also, I think I like the design of the NZXT H500i more. So, that's what I'm probably gonna go with.

 

Thanks for the suggestions

To each their own, I love 200mm fans (I actually bought the same coolermaster fans to go into my Corsair 380T)

Yeah, it's just WAY too much RGB for me, but if ya dig it ya dig it.  I've seen some very well done and I've seen some that make me think I'm on LSD again.

I leave mine on red. I cant stand Rainbow puke myself (I was gonna get the Noctua 200mm fan but it apparently is just a bit too thick for my case)
