Case Recommendation

I've been getting a lot of good feedback from the forums and I would like to get help with this as well.

Im looking to get a better case for my PC, I currently am rocking an NZXT Phantom which I like but hate at the same time, it has iffy water cooling support, I blew up a capacitor(?) in the fan controller trying to mod a connector, it's too big for my desk, no window, odd fan sizes, and a lot of other annoyances.

The specs for the build are in my sig, but basically I need a case that can support:

  • Full ATX MoBo
  • 240mm Rad
  • 120mm Rad
  • Side Window
  • Black
  • Full length graphics card (980Ti Hybrid)
  • Mid Tower

I really would prefer a fan controller or hub as well but it's not a huge deal if it doesn't have one. I originally was thinking about the master case but I'm not sure, I really appreciate the help and feedback everyone!

just gona say one thing here;

cardboard box, try finding something it dosent have lol

 

on a more serius note tho something like the Enthoo pro maby

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

That corsair air 540 in silver looks really nice, I think a red/silver/black scheme wouldn't look bad. And from what I can tell it seems to have what I need while being in a small enough form factor to actually not overhang my desk by 5 inches. I can fit a wider case on my desk, just not a longer one lol
