P500A would've been my suggestion. If you cant wait:

-P400A Digital

-Meshify C

-Coolermaster TD500

 

-Lian Li Lancool II Mesh is also an option but it only just fits a 360mm rad and Im not sure about availability as its very new

 

I am building a new computer for 3D animation and need a case, as well as upgrading my current pc's case, so i want to buy 2 so they will be matching, but i have yet to pick the case. i have all the parts for the new build as well as my current pc. i am currently using a Corsair 680X, but find it too space consuming due to its box shape. im looking for a white case thats got good looks and airflow. It being white is the only requirement. i would prefer to pay no more than $160 USD per case before tax. I was looking at the Phanteks P500A but its not in stock and no ETA so i wanna have other options. good choices?

 

the parts, for clearance concerns, are as follows:

 

1st pc

  • ATX mobo
  • 360mm AIO
  • EVGA RTX 2080 SUPER FTW3 Hybrid
  • x1 2.5 SSD
     

2nd pc

  • ATX mobo
  • Noctua NH-D15
  • Sapphire Radeon RX 580 PULSE
  • x2 3.5 HDD

I have a white Fractal Design R6 that I am very happy with.  I have three hard drives and two SSDs and have had no issues at all.  I swapped out the Fractal fans for Noctua ones so this PC is dead silent which is good as it sits right on my desk close to me. 

Workstation PC Specs: CPU - i7 8700K; MoBo - ASUS TUF Z390; RAM - 32GB Crucial; GPU - Gigabyte RTX 1660 Super; PSU - SeaSonic Focus GX 650; Storage - 500GB Samsung EVO, 3x2TB WD HDD;  Case - Fractal Designs R6; OS - Win10

As @marmour already mentioned, the Phanteks Eclipse P400A is a good option. You'd have to mount the aio in the front, but then you could use the included fans to fill the extra slots in the top and back. I used a Phanteks case for my build and it's been great thus far. Excellent build quality for the price.

 

It's currently sold out on Amazon, but they at least have an eta for when it will be back in stock. I'm sure there are other places you could buy it too.

After looking at those cases, especially the P400A, i decided to spend a bit more then the P500A would have cost and bought the Eclipse P600S which i was able to get for $150. Thank you for the recommendations, they really helped lead me in the right direction!
