I currently have a ryzen 7 3700x with a 3080 ftw3

i have a good case for it at home but I want to bring it out on the road in my truck. I am look for a case to transplant over to that doesn’t have tempered glass I like the design of the o11 air mini but would like it without the glass for safety reasons. And getting one where I can vertical mount gpu would be nice to save the board on bumps. I was thinking about the cooler master lan case but want something more modern not wored about rgb.

Thanks. I like the be quiet cause. The legs make it more stable. But do you know any that are a little more on the husky side shorter/fatter that way it’s more stable in the truck and not top heave to tip over.

Fractal define meshify 2 - it is wider than the c version and it has good airflow. You can also buy a vertical mount from fractal, so the GPU has less stress on the slot.

Also the be qiuet Pure Base 500 - it's also a little wider, but it doesn't have the best airflow - with enough fans that shouldn't be a problem tho
