Posted December 19, 2019 Good sized isn't a descriptor that helps us. Good to some: Huge. Good to others: Tiny. You also haven't given us a budget, or where you're buying from, both of which change options drastically. Though either way your options are tiny. Welcome to the forum.

Luxe 2 though) or most varieties of the Enthoo Pro. Bigger (and more expensive) would be the Phanteks Enthoo Primo and Elite. If you just want a mid-tower with 1 bay for an optical drive, the Phanteks Enthoo Pro M would be a reasonable pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wholeheartedly agree with the Enthoo Pro M pick here. Gorgeous case, not too big. We have a NEW and GLORIOUSER-ER-ER PSU Tier List Now.

Posted December 19, 2019 The old standby, Fractal R6. Lots of room and has a 5 1/4 drive bay. I didn't use the bay because it seems that they're not used as much as I used to use them. I just got an external drive for the times that I need one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 20, 2019 I picked up a Thermaltake Suppresor F31 (looks like a copy of a Fractal Define R6 TG) and it has 2 5.25" bays. HEDT rig is in a Thermaltake Tower 900, which has a single 5.25" bay at the bottom front. Gaming-only PC is going into a Cooler Master Cosmos C700M which has 1 5.25" drive bracket built in but looks like you could add a 2nd below it if needed. I guess my question for you is more along the lines of 'do you have a particular case design/style you want to stick with?'

Posted December 23, 2019 I decided to buy the Corsair Obsidian 750D. It's a really nice case, lots of space for components and it offers everything I need. As far as optics go the Phantek Enthoo Luxe was my favorite but the weight of the empty case (14 kg) is a no-go for me. There is no replacement for RGB except more RGB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
