Workstation case recommendation

[HeyYouOK?]

Hi,

I'm looking for recommendations on upgrading from my current PC case to something that can support two GPUS. I'm practically converting my PC to more of a workstation atm. Currently I'm using a Meshify C but I was thinking of moving to a Lian Li O11 Dynamic XL but I wanted to know if there were better or comparable options. Btw I'm mostly moving into more 3D design and rendering so I was going to add my 2nd GPU into my system. Currently these are what I'm looking for:

 

• Separate compartment for PSU (will be upgrading to a 1000+ PSU later)
• Enough space to accommodate an ROG 2080S and an EVGA RTX XC3 ultra 3080
• Will not be watercooling it, but will be running on air, Currently I have 4x 140mm corsair LL fans + a single 120mm so having space to accommodate extra fans would be nice.
• noise isnt a concern, I just want really solid cooling.

Would really appreciate any inputs. Thanks!

The meshify 2 XL might be something worth considering. It has support for a sh*t ton of hard drives if you're into that, many, many fans, or large aios/rads, and it supports e-atx, or hell, even SSI-EEB motherboards if you want those. Plus, It'll match your current case aesthetic pretty well if you like that, as well. It looks like there's plenty of space for multiple gpus, and there's even three vertical mount slots if you want to go that route.

WOW! this is honestly amazing as I really like the Meshify C. My concern is that air flow to the GPU's might be limited being so close to the shroud at the bottom and I dont know if it would be able to pull in adequate air from both GPU's being close to each other like that. But this is definitely up on the list on what I want in a workstation case!

There's two fan mounts that support up to 140mm fans from the bottom of the case if you're worried about that, so the situation shouldn't be bad.
