Looking for recommendations for an XL case/full tower with good airflow and v-good dust filtering, please (That isn't the 1000D)

[Euphoria]

I've been searching for an XL tower that can fit or has the following:

• 2x 480mm radiators

• 2x 450mm pump/res combos

• Good airflow with V-good dust filtering (We live in a rural area that gets very dusty, and we have lots of dogs... so I currently have to do a proper clear of our PCs every 5 to 7 days)

• Ample room for hardline tubing (I don't have the skill for lots of tight bends)

• Vertical GPU mount with enough room for the largest GPUs

Does anyone have any recommendations, please? I don't mind buying new or used, I'm just struggling to find anything that fits. Everything I've found that is large enough to fit the radiators and pump/res combos has terrible airflow or no dust filtering.

 

I'm currently using a Thermaltake Core P8 which is a BIG mistake. I loved the look of it and it has a VESA wall mount built in. Then I received it and realized how massively restricted the airflow is, it's impossible to filter the dust, and there is no way on this earth I am trusting a 45kg/100lb PC on that bracket which is only held in by 6x M3 screws.

The Core P8 dimensions are:

• 660 x 260 x 626 mm

• 26 x 10.24 x 24.65 inch

I wouldn't want to go smaller than that.

One option is to buy your own dust filters and custom make it to fit the case.

Like these things, so all you need is good airflow and custom make your own filters.

There are of course other options out there, just showing an example.

Yeah, that's what I did in my current case but it restricted the airflow even more, and temps were already insanely high.

 

Of course, if I can find something new I can always do the same as long as it has good airflow and doesn't have lots of openings like this current case, where you can't filter it at all.

How high were the temperatures?

You may have to find something close and modify it. There is no perfect case. I know my last couple NAS cases I wasn't happy with the air flow, so I modified them:

 

 

There are custom case makers out there, but they aren't cheap. Most though that I've seen aren't big on the filters. So again, no perfect case.

5900X was hitting mid-80s during gaming, and a stock 3090 was hitting 80, both on 480mm radiators separate loops.

I removed the top and front glass and temperatures dropped by 20°C on the CPU, and even more on the GPU. Now the fans barely spin so it's Inaudible, whereas with the  glass installed, it sounded like it air-cooled

Thank you for the suggestions.

I did find the Lian Li V3000 Plus and I'm quite interested in that one. I also discovered the Corsair 1000D has been redesigned and released as the 9000D prioritizing airflow, which I really like but it is monstrously expensive in my region, about $750 equivalent.

But I haven't seen the Thermaltake Tower 900, I've never used a case like that so that's really quite interesting. Thank you I really appreciate the suggestion.

Shame, it turns out the Tower 900 is discontinued as it was released around 2017/18, that's why I hadn't found it when searching. Every PC retailer in my region doesn't have it in stock.
