S340 elite ANd mexternal. Mastercase 5 is pretty good(the one with TG) 

Hey, everyone! I'm looking for a good looking and good functionality case! I was recently looking at the In Win 805i but it seems to have terrible airflow, and is way overpriced for such bad functionality when the only thing going for it is the front infinity mirror. Anyways, I'm looking for a case that has a tempered glass side panel because I am going to be running a full RGB setup and I want to show it off. I will be running an ATX motherboard and have a gtx1080, I need at least 1 3.5" drive bay, 1 2.5" drive bay and maybe one optical drive bay. I could just use an external optical drive if I need to. Thanks for the help!

The Athena case may not meet JoeR's needs since it uses an acrylic window and actually has about the same amount of air intake as the InWin 805i (although it does have better exhaust).  Thanks for the recommendation though! :)

Although it'll be a couple months before it's available, we are working on a tempered glass case that's going to look awesome and have great performance!  You would probably want to replace the stock fans with RGB fans for a full RGB setup, but aside from the lack of an optical drive bay, it should meet all your needs.  If you don't want to wait that long though, there are some good tempered glass cases out there already.  The ones from Rosewill, Corsair, and Anidees are all good options for the full glass look.

 

That InWin case looks freakishly awesome.  It's a shame they made the common mistake of form over function though...

Sadly Yes In Win's design is very "Form over function" and your PC components will suffocate in that case.

Thanks, Vivo your company looks great! I may not want to wait until your cases come out, but I'll sure be looking at some of your other products!
