Need help finding an E-Atx case

[DekaRanger]

Hello.

 

I am looking for a case that supports an E-atx motheboard, 360 front mounted AIO and preferably Tempered glass side panel. I have no budget for the case but don't want to spend like 300-400$.

The motherboard I will be using is the Asus Zenith Extreme which is 277mm/10.9inches in width. I was looking at the Enthoo Pro M and I know, it only supports E-ATX up to 264mm but I have seen some pictures with a 272mm motheboard and it fit but covered rubber grommets which doesn't bother me at all as long as I can get cables through.

 

If i missed anything important just ask. Thank you in advance for your help.

This is a decent budget option.

More expensive but it's a great case.

This entire list is full of EATX cases:

the unit I like the most is this:

but it's really expensive. i would also recommend this:

as a cheaper option.

Oh I actually didn't know that was that much  

The Luxe would fit the needs though.

I have the Thermaltake Core G21 on the way but I realized a bit to late that it unfortunately doesn't fit the motherboard. Am I wrong about that or? If it doesn't fit I can send it back since they are very kind about that here.

It says on Phantek's site that it can fit up to 272mm but then I can't use the rubber grommets. I know I said I have no problem covering them but, how will I now pull the cables from?

I wish I could to be honest but unfortunately it is the only one available for the coming weeks since Threadripper is so new. The pc needs to be built asap, that's why I went with it.

No the mobo is good, i need to make myself more clear and double check myself more often. I meant send the name of the mobo, then i realized you already did. Sorry. Now to answer your question the rubber grommets will probably fully covered and it would be a very tough job trying to get the cables through but its possible.

I don't mind it being more difficult as long as it is possible and can be functional. At second thoughts, it is a bit to much glass/acrylic for my use case since I will be in a sort of "gaming house" and I don't want to constantly wash it off since they can't keep their fingers or something like that off it. I know you didn't bring up this case but how about the Enthoo evolv Atx or the Enthoo pro m? As i stated in the beginning, I saw some pictures of the case with a I believe a 272mm motherboard(can't find accurate numbers). https://pcpartpicker.com/b/R2HNnQ

 

The Zenith Extreme is only a few mm longer, is it possible you believe?

Definatly possible as long as your cables bend well. I would not reccomend the pro m because its a dust manget. There arent any filters on the intake

Well there are technically filters and they look like filters but they arent fine enough to stop dust.

Thank you for that information. I didn't know it was a dust magnet. It only has a filter on the front mesh panel and not on the slits unfortunately. I can also sneak some cables through the hard drive slots since I most likely won't need them in the future. I bought the Corsair psu cable kit since I wanted som nice cables but couldn't get cable mod unless I wanted to pay over double the price of it since taxes and stuff like that. Thank you for your help!
