Im sure this gets asked a million times. but what would you say is the best air cooling case on the market that isnt pure plastic cough cough silverstone.

It must support an h100 as well

currently i have a storm sniper thats seen better days and am looking for somehting new. maybe something with a window?

Arc Midi R2 is good. 750D is also a good choice.

NZXT Phantom series / Tempest series / Source 530, Corsair Carbide 300R / Vengeance C70, Fractal Arc Midi R2.

You're and your are not the same. Neither are their, there, and they're. Defiantly and Definitely are definitely not the same. Definately and Rediculous are not words, and you should feel bad for misspelling them. If English is your first language, you don't have a learning disorder, and you get any of these wrong, you are making the entire forum slightly dumber by doing so. Please take the extra three seconds to type properly, and have a nice day.

there is no such thing as overkill , but honestly i dont look at the 750d as an air case more as a water case. Might just be me.  Anyway  yes i was speaking of the hideous raven serious esp the more recent ones lol

Fractal Design's Arc Midi R2 is an excellent choice. Or if you like Corsair, their Air 540 is pretty much optimized for air cooling.

If you regard my facts as wrong, feel free to rectify it.

If you regard my opinions as wrong, feel free to ignore it.

Silverstone FT02, Caselabs Magnum M8 (I'll be getting this very soon), Windy Soldam (company is defunct now, so the cases are rare and quite expensive), Corsair 650D.....even run of the mill kinds of case can accommodate a H100 and GTX780. I have a Tt Level 10GT and it houses a H100, and 2x R9 290X easily (I also have a Corsair 650D and it's about the size of the Level 10GT as well).
