Hey folks, 

since i am planning on doing an upgrade i would like to replace my current case too. 

The new case should be as affordable as possible, ATX, support good airflow, support NZXT X61 280mm AiO unit

Aorus gtx 1080 ti graphics card, which has some length to it, full size PSU. Preferably a good big tower, but a normal ATX should be good enough.

it would be a big plus if you could mount the AiO on top as exhaust, but thats probably not an option. The front panel intakes need a dust filter that can be cleaned.

 

thanks in advance!

I got myself a Lain Li Lancool II Mesh Perofrmence (I have NO idea why they speeled it wrong)) :) 

It doesn't have a front filter, but the mesh acts like a filter. 

I have to wipe it of dust practically everytime I sit down to use it. (4 hoomans and 10 cats will do that.)

I hope that helps. 

 

But seriously, you can go with many mesh front cases to fill your desire. 

 

But what budget are you looking at, and what country care you purchasing in??

does it support top mounted 280mm Aio? Is there anything bad to know about either case?

p500A supports, p360A does not, meshify c does not support it.

I Use my knowledge as business owner and self taught technician aswell as an AI to help people. AI might be controversial but it actually works pretty well 90% of the time.

i guess intake is good enough

nono. No AIO on the front. it will make other parts run much hotter, since hot air is coming in the case.
