I’m looking for a case like the one in the photo.  What I like about it is that the fans are next to the motherboard, not behind the front panel, so you can see into the case from the front.

 

What I don’t like about it is that the side panel apparently needs to be completely removed to do any work inside the case.  I prefer a hinged door side panel.

 

So basically, I’m looking for a case with a hinged door side panel and a front panel that is not designed to have fans right behind it.

the lian li o11 is pretty much the only one. there is a corsair one, but it needs the side to be removed to access the hinged door (I guess you could keep the side off?)

I could use some help with this!

please, pm me if you would like to contribute to my gpu bios database (includes overclocking bios, stock bios, and upgrades to gpus via modding)

Sounds like an odd thing to nitpick over. How often are you really going into the case to do work?

the case in the pic is the lian li pc-o11-dynamic PC-O11DYNAMIC - Black Tempered Glass ATX Mid-Tower Computer Case (lian-li.com)

 

the corsair 5000x seems like the case you are looking for with the hindged side panel and can have mounted next to the motherboard. iCUE 5000X RGB Tempered Glass Mid-Tower ATX PC Smart Case — Black (corsair.com)

 

i would skip the lian li as its been proven to be a hot box with tempered glass on all sides meaning no ventalation for the fans or at least not too much of it.

I have no idea why you are going to be working on the pc to the point where it is an inconvenience to take the side panel off. I personally have the lian li 011 and cooling it has been no problem at all with an i9 10900k and a 3090. I should also mention I do have 9 case fans and a 360mm aio
