Hi there!

I am looking for a case upgrade. Currently I have a Corsair 270R but I am looking for something more modern (Tempered glass) and maybe with better airflow. I currently have 2 2.5inch drives and one 3.5inch. The motherboard is an E-ATX board. so a lil bigger than usual (Asus Rampage VI Apex 2066)

 

This is how It's looking currently (sorry for the horrible quality lol):

This current case is closed on the front which is not ideal for my 2x140mm radiator in push & Pull. I would love to mount in the top of the case. Which was sadly not possible. Let me know what you guys think!

I have been looking at it for a while now. I am thinking about going for the XL tho. Because I am planning on custom watercooling my system soon when I also have my RTX cards

How many radiators/sizes are you planning on using?

I just decided to order the fractal meshify s2 good airflow and think it said it holds up to a 420mm radiator in top. Worth a look down sizing from coolermaster haf x case.

Unless you're doing dual GPU's, the Original version can easily handle all of that unless you just really want the space for some reason.

That is the plan, going big this time. Getting the i9 10980Xe (Already had the 2066 board otherwise I would've gone Threadripper) and dual RTX 2080.
