Looking for a new case

[Nootey]

Hey,

I have a Meshify C and am currently happy with it, but soon i'll most likely pick up a new graphics card and will most likely need a bigger case. I want a case that's still semi compact like my meshify, but one that could fit a 3080/4080.

 

First of all, my current setup: I'm running a 280mm H115i mounted in the front and a Gigabyte g1 1080 with an 120mm aio. The card BARELY fits, i can almost squeeze a finger in between the gpu and the fans in the front. I have semi limited desk space, so I'd rather keep it compact.

 

I was thinking of getting the o11 mini, but i'd need to get one of those smaller PSUs. I've been out of the loop with cases ever since I've bought my Meshify and there have been like 5 revisions since then, would any fit my use case? Any other suggestions are welcome!

 

Thanks.

A corsiar 4000D or 5000D would be fine, it has great airflow and space compatibility , o11 mini would be fine but it has less airflow. I think the new cards would spit out a lot of heat.

You don't have to replace your case,  there's 320+mm space if you don't use the middle fan slot on the front

3080FE is only 285mm, most AIB version are around or below 320

I'm running a 280mm AIO in the front, I can't mount it on top and I can't move the fans.

ok, then you either have to change the case ...or the AIO for a 240mm one. Both will cost you around same, but second option is much less work

You're right on that front! I was actually thinking of switching to a D15 anyway. I might just do that.

Makes sense to use a D15, you'll have better performance than a 240mm AIO ...
