So im trying to swap my case for a smaller one (currently using a 5000D) but there is a problem...

One chonky GPU - Gigabyte WINDFORCE RTX 4080

It not just the length but also the width, i had originally wanted to use the 4000D but it was which technically suppose to support it but the card is so damn wide the cables were pressed against the side panel, and there isnt a "width" spec on cases, so if anyone has any case recommendations i'd love to hear them, or if you have any other ideas that would help filter out

Do you have a specific look in mind? Like do you want a mid tower or would a fish tank style be ok? If you dont mind maybe a raijintek paean C7 would be good as its a minimalistic fish tank that should be ok or a montech king 95 if you want some rgb or color variety

I edit my posts for so if you saw a typo.... no you didn't, you are just crazy

Clean for the most part , which is why i liked the 4000D and 5000D, true they arent that unique or "sexy", i personally like the clean look

Im actually looking for something that's more Airflow friendly (using a NH-D15 )

Maybe lian li lancool 216? mesh front 2x160mm fans and 1x120mm in the back and the non rgb variant if you dont want looks makes imo really nice without being extravagant. Or a lancool III which is a more traditional midi tower. They are 5mm and 8mm bigger respectively. If you want a mid tower id say these are nice and logically be better at the very least. Otherwise you might want to look into a fish tank case which yes most would accomodate your card wires but idk if its a look youd want
