Looking for a really good CASE

[DarkSmith2]

Hi, im looking for a case that supports Watercooling including my GTX h110i (280mm rad)

Ive been through several cases, for now im using a Phanteks Enthoo Luxe which im not very pleased with.

 

Reasons are: Its mostly plastic which is really bad because it makes noise and isnt good for sturdiness in any way. Also the case comes with alot of unnecessary cables almost impossible to manage. The case almost takes all the place for cable management by itself due to its IO/Panel, LED features and Fan Controller.

 

What im looking for is a really sturdy Case, easy to clean that supports all Form Factors and will last for a very long time. The only case ive found interessting so far is the Caselabs MAGNUM SMA8, but this is way overprized and hard to get in the EU. 

 

Im looking forward to hear your suggestions.

What's your budget?

 

Also, why the link to EN-DE dictionary?

Phanteks Enthoo Evolv Glass?

One of the Mastercase 5s, replace all fans with Noctua's new line once the 140s come out in 2018. Front mount the radiator because the benefit to temps for the CPU is significantly greater than the increase in temps for the card and motherboard.

The EN-DE link wasnt on purpose, wanted to write it without mistakes.

I would pay maybe 200-250€ at max if its sturdy and please my needs.

I dont think so, as i said im not very pleased with my Phanteks case, it does have alot of the features but lacks in quality on certain parts. If you mod your case you can get very happy with phanteks cases. But its alot of work to do, Most thing i hate is the cablemanagement, as i said allready i dont even use that weird stuff on that i/o pannel maybe sometimes one of the USB ports to charge my phone.. but the rest is useless for me. 

 

The idea is: Buy a case that lasts really long with a feature set that will also last as long, so if i would go full ham 420/480 custom loop i want to have the option without buying a new case.

This thing also looks just like a big Chunk of Plastic, and lacks E-ATX support.

AFAIK, the Evolv is awesome, solidly built (all aluminium and glass), only has a small front I/O panel, and supports plenty of water cooling stuff. @Mr. Whale has a really nice build in one, so he can tell you more about it.

The handles are hooked directly into the frame, and while it doesn't have official E-ATX most fit just fine. Some of the largest probably don't fit but otherwise you're golden.

Designed to offer builders a wide range of component layout options in a single ATX mid-tower shell, Cooler Master’s MasterCase 5 is actually a bit more than an ATX mid-tower, as it supports oversized motherboards up to 11.5” deep — far larger than the 10.5” to 10.7” that some premium consumer boards usually label as EATX. But what else can the MasterCase 5 do, beyond holding deeper-than-ATX motherboards?
