Help deciding on a case

[107x]

I have been looking for a case for my new build, cant decide on what i want, im looking for a mid tower with an open interior in which will be very flexible, and i want a simplistic design on the outside of the case, i wont be needing any 5.25 drive bays and wont need many hdd slots. The case i have now is the corsair carbide 500r and i dont like it to much, for reasons such as you can see the drive cages, there is no side panel window, it isnt very flexible with water cooling and the interior has too many drive slots. I will be running with a 1080 ti and either i5 or i7 kabylake that will be watercooled in my new case, ive been looking at the phanteks p400s but want to know if there is any other case that would better fit my needs.  Im going with a red and black build so a case with this color scheme would best work otherwise i would probably wrap it with vinyl colored wrap. Money and space is not an issue. Any suggestions are appreciated thanks.

also a psu shroud would be nice unless not visible.

What size of mobo?

CoolerMaster MasterBox 5.

 

I prefer the case over the S340 any day.

It's a budget friendly and clean case

MasterBox, sure you can go for MasterCase if you want to waste money.

i think the mastercase is definetly more watercase friendly with the pop up top and front,

But, you could have two drives and two cool adapters that add functionality to your case, like these:

Personally I don't care for the minimalist cases, I think a computer should be covered in buttons and ports and fans and other cool stuff, but if you like that kind of design the case you choose looks pretty cool, I suppose.

From what I've heard from the P400S it is horrible for water cooling temps

P400 is so restrictive at the expense of looks.
