Im gonna buy a New case, as im tried of looking at my AIR 540, but I just cant find one i really like.

Thats Why im asking you Guys to tell me which case you like the most, and why you like it :-)

My needs:

- mounting for 3x 120mm fans in front

- space for a bequiet dark rock pro 3 is required.

- Window is a must

- great airflow (i know yes, Air540 has plenty of airflow but I want something else)

- from a well known company

- grommets for cable management is needed

Thanks in advance!

P.s: i dont have custom loop anymore :-)

Bah Heresy!!!! There is nothing better than the Air 540, except maybe some of the Lian Li cases... but those costs near as much as a gtx 980....

I know mate, but im just sooo tired of looking at it :-)

I'm using the Phanteks Enthoo Luxe (for watercooling, I know) and it's great

Yes! Phanteks is a very very strong option to consider. I'd recommend the Enthoo Pro M or the Luxe, depending on the money you want to spend.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Don't get me wrong though, Air540 is still my second favorite Corsair case next to our 800D. I had used mine for about a year and a half, then it just got to the point that I needed a change, no issue or what so ever, just wanted something new, that's all. 

 

Good luck finding a new case :)

the define s and the H440 v2 can handle that bill..

The define S could possibly do, im not a fan of the h440 though.

Like them or not, they're the best on the market for functionality, build quality and price. Fractal design cases are just a plastic box

H440? It maybe not have the most awesome airflow but still its pretty decent. It looks awesome imo and has a beautiful window and is quiet.

the h440v2 has pretty much addressed the "airflow" issues with larger intake

openings and the top exhaust now has an opened back vent.
