Hello, I'm in the market for a new case. my current NZXT phantom original case is start to fail me. So now I'm looking for a new case, so any recommendations would be great and helpful. But I am looking to stray from NZXT... I'm looking for something that has noise dampening stuff in it, is windowed, is a full tower case, and support a custom loop and/or an AIO loop. Like I said before any and all recommendations are great and helpful. Thank you!

Fractal Design R4:

The non windowed one has better sound proofing but you won't be able to see the stuff inside, obviously.

if you want to spend a lot of money case labs cases are durable and made for watercooling.

I can't help but notice that most people here have recommended mid-tower cases despite OP having specified that he/she wants a full-tower case.

 

The Phanteks Enthoo Pro matches your needs and goes for about $100 right now.

Although not a full-tower, the Define R5 from Fractal Design will perfectly fit your needs. You can also look into the Define S - same as the R5 in everything, but loses the HDD cages, 5.25" bays, and front door - this is to facilitate the placement of custom water-cooling parts like reservoirs, pumps, etc.

Nothing to see here ;)

Does it have noise-dampening foam? I didn't know about that!
