Need help picking a suitable pc case

Hello!

 

Im trying to get some practice in building a low cost custom watercooled system. Dont even question me..

Picked a mAtx motherboard to change things up from my main build. I am having trouble finding a case that will fit a custom water cooled pc without looking too dumb and empty.

Preferably a black case. Could you guys please give me some help here?

Im not big on mainstream cases, but ill surely consider it if it allows for custom watercooling loops.

I looked at the NZXT Manta, does anyone know if there is a possiblity for a custom waterloop to be installed?

There is. Several videos have been done on it.
