Looking for a cheap 200mm chassis with a vertical GPU bracket.

Man

Basically a 'thick' mini-tower with a Solo 200mm at the front, 2 x 120/140mm on top (240-280mm AIOs) and a solo 120/140mm at the back and of course a vertical GPU mount with enough space for 12-14" tri-fan GPUs. Won't mind a fan or two at the bottom, either. 

 

I've searched Google quite a bit and it seems like a chassis like this doesn't quite exist. Hope I'm wrong!

 

Thanks!

Very few cases support 200mm fans these days.

If you can't find something with that exact fan configuration you either need to mod a case or build one from scratch.

Or maybe lower your expectations a bit?

It's a shame really. 

 

A single 550 RPM 200mm fan can ventilate almost as much air as a 2,500 RPM 120mm fan (~80 CFM), while at the same time being significantly quieter and longer lasting. Plus, they are aesthetically far more pleasing. 

 

For some reason, they remind me of jumbo jet turbines!

Yeah that seems to be the case today with trying to find cases with 200mm fans... I am looking for a newer case but every damn case out there has to be tempered glass and RGB all over it like a banana sundae... Even cases with 5.25 bays in them are becoming harder to find as they're not relevant in today's world but I got my pack of James Bond Blu-Ray DVD's I want to watch. I'm looking at the Corsair Obsidian 750D Airflow Edition and loved the case. (Actually I was between that case and the NZXT Phantom 530 I have right now).

RPM does not directly correlate to noise level.

You should be able to find 140mm fans that move a lot of air and are quiet.

Also there are some 180mm fans too from silvestone that are pretty good.

In free flow condition maybe, but with dust filter, 200x20mm or 200x30mm fans generally suffer severely due to their low static pressure.
