case to fit these requirements?

[gameboy3800]

Hello! I've been looking around, and i can't seem to find any good cases that fit my specific needs.

i'm looking for a good case with eatx motherboard support, big case window/tempered glass side panel, and enough space to support a 360mm radiator both on top and in front. i've been looking around for awhile, and it's surprisingly scarce out there. case budget is $300. the case needs to be a standart atx format (no cubes or gpus extending to the other side of the case).

the case can be new or old, just so long as it has a good internal view and has good clearance for both a top and front 360mm radiator setup. and looks clean. so a case like the dark base 900 pro is very nice, but because of it being so modular, the motherboard is too open, leading to a lot of visible cables. also good airflow is a priority, so a case with a blocked off top or front with only side vents like the h500p is not ideal.

i refuse to use anything from ThermalFAKE.

system will have 2 3.5inch hard drives, 2 2.5inch ssds, and one nvme m.2 which goes on the board. i also plan to expand, so good drive support is also needed.

It's a really fantastic case, well built, multiple colour choices and expand-ability for your requirements

when the time comes to build. this will definitely be one of my top options. any other cases that fit the needs?

One of these days I'd like to see a picture of a young kitten sleeping curled up on a dual or triple-fan video card (one with a backplate).  Of course not while the card is under load, unless it's like one of these - a lower TDP card, not like a 1080 Ti FTW/equivalent or Vega 64.

   

 

 

Oh, and btw, is there a hardware switch or similar to turn off the fan LEDs (or other LEDs, other than power & HDD indicators) on the 780T?  I like to keep a running list of cases I'd personally consider if I found myself needing to buy one, and I generally don't like ones that have the aesthetic LEDs always on, or require you to post / enter BIOS/UEFI / boot an OS before you can turn them off (using software instead of a hardware switch).
