Hi guys!

I am currently looking for a new case, as I am moving from my current apartment to a new apartment (my old apartment is soo dusty, idk about the new apartment yet)

And my current apartment is soo messy (small af.) that I have to move my PC alot. And because I also love to swap in and out hardware, Test Bench was the best solution.

Now I'm going to move into my new apartment, I'm going to make my own rig, which I hope that I don't need to do hardware swap at all.

Therefore I am looking for a new case. Notes: The reason I go with Test Bench also is because there wasn't any case that have all the features that I want.

 

Here we go with my requirements for the case:

Spoiler

+ Tempered Glass (I hate plastic windows, they scratch really easy as I need to move stuff usually)

+ Good quality construction (Please, no case that can swaaaay or swiing when you touch it)

+ 360mm Radiator Support on 2 way (Top + Front, Front + Bottom, Bottom + Top, anything you can think about)

+ Has a minimal 5 3.5" Mechanical HDD (Like the Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ATX. Minimal 5 because I currently have 4 of them and might add more.)

+ Dust filter everywhere (I don't bet my money on the Fractal Design Define R5 or S because it has no dust filter on top)

+ Reservoir and Pump Mounts (More like.. Optional. I can always mount them outside of the case if there is no space in the case)

+ Vertical GPU Mounts with support for 3-slot GPU (I currently runs the Zotac 1080 Amp! Extreme. I am an idiot for purchasing that rather than the Thermaltake's WC ones) (And again, more like optional. I'm just too scared because it is way tooooo heavy.)

 

That was a loooong requirements. Hence why I never used anything beside a Test Bench. But now I need a case.

My budget is somewhere around 400-500 USD. And oh, don't list something that isn't too mainstream because they have 95% chance not getting imported here.

I live outside of the US so please bear with me. For your information, the NZXT AER or Corsair's SP Fan isn't getting imported. That is a mainstream fan (I think?)

 

I am waiting to read your ideas, suggestions and feedback!
