Need help deciding case

DekaRanger

Hello.

 

As the title states, I am in need of help deciding on a case. I was planning on getting the Thermaltake Core G21 but unfortunately it can't fit the Asus Zenith Extreme which is 277mm(10.9 inches) wide. Are there any cases that can fit it and aren't overly expensive. I was looking at the Phanteks Enthoo Pro M TG but it can only fit up to 264mm wide. The case must also fit  360 aio.

 

Any ideas on a case and thank you in advance for you suggestions!

I was looking at the S340 but decided not to go for it since it didn't have 360mm aio support. I forgot to add it but i edited it now.

Oh yeah that could be tough. If you didn't mind the look of it, the front panel comes off and you could mount it in the front of the case, the two side panels come forward to where the front of the front panel would be (the side panels make the sides of the front piece as well, it sits between them)

My point being that it wouldn't stick out and be too much in the way

I don't want to do alot with the case. I just want to keep it in its original state. Do you think it is the same for the enthoo pro m or any other mid tower cases? I'm just asking theoretically.

My guess would be that most mid tower cases will not have room for a 360mm rad and an eatx board. That is one upside to the s340 is that the front just pops off for filter access and fan maintenance, it doesn't even have screws.

 

Isn't the entroo pro a full tower case? that would have room I think

Thermaltake Suppressor F51

 

It's really a solid modular case , whit good sound dumpening material and dust filter everywhere . It will fit your EATX mobo and also your 360 rad , you can find it for around 100 bucks . If you're not int rgb i'd suggest to get the no windows version of it , then you do really have a soundproof case ,and most important every single air intake hole is covered whit a removable dust filter, that will help keep your pc and rad really clean . I own it , and it's arguably the best case i've ever bought .
