Suggestions on PC cases fractal R5 won't fit both my dual fan AIO and the SD card reader in the front. It would be nice to have the DVD in it too but not necessary. I have thought about a NOctua cpu cooler or a single fan AIO but not sure. Currently using the CM Storm Stryker. Looking for something more of a square shape for in my Skoolie that I could possibly mount to the floor.

Can you please clarify what AIO model do you use?

Corsair H100x

There are many cases that support 240mm radiators up front, but I am not familiar with cases that support drives such as card readers etc. Sorry 😞

I was thinking the cooler master xb evo not sure tho.  my old PC is being setup as a NAS. I need good airflow but it would be nice to have a bit more of a silent case than that.

have you looked at the Fractal Focus G and the mini? 240mm AIO will fit in the top of both of them. The mini will take a 240mm up front if you were only using 1 5.25 bay.

Especially if I'm recording music in the bus.

If you're recording on the bus, wouldn't you just want a laptop?

I'm not actually trying to be as grumpy as it seems.

I will find your mentions of Ikea or Gnome and I will /s post.

I keep the laptop for other small projects.
