what do you mean by unofficially? to make it work I would ghave to force it in or what?

It accepts some e-atx motherboards just doesn't say which on the site. But the c70 club should say which or answer any questions

Why do you need E-ATX? Especially with pascal where you can link max. 2 GPU's in SLI, so it's even more useless... Or do you have any special plan for it? And according to your plan to use a vertical graphics card you won't be able to use a lot of pcie devices anyways...

vertical graphiccard

That's actually a pretty easy mod, you just have to drill a hole and get one of these cheap pcie cables... So I wouldn't look for this and just do it myself if the case doesn't support it.

 

In the end if you go with my points I would recommend the NZXT Noctis 450. It has a window (which you can easily extend btw), good watercooling support (2x 360mm radiators), a built in fan controller and a nice psu cover. Also you can have a lot of space for hard drives (which I personally wouldn't need, but many people seem to have a ton of hard drives...)

btw I don't know if you're into modding, but this is a really cool build log in the Noctis 450, that I mentioned earlier: http://themodzoo.com/forum/index.php?/topic/2305-build-log-batgirl/&page=1

Some of these things may be extremely hard to do, but maybe just cutting out a bigger window and removing the hard drive cage might look really sexy with a watercooling setup :)
