Still looking for a case

[Owlman]

I have been looking for a case to do a custom loop in for a long time now, like the 900D, Dark Base 900 Pro, among others. If I could justify the cost I'd go caselabs and be happy but that's not the case (pun not intended). 

 

Recently I was looking at the Lian Li PC-D600 and thought that with a little modding it would be perfect, but after taking a closer look it seems i can't fit a 45mm thick rad in the front of the main chamber when using a e-atx motherboard and a asus strix 1080ti .  Are there any similar cases out there that have nice water cooling support? 

 

I'll take other case recommendations as well.

 

BTW not looking for any thermaltake cases

I don't really like the look of any of them, but by all means name some and i'll have a look

take a look at that:

No Airflow at the front at all, but you can make it "pretty"

Might be worth looking at (not sure if you like the square form factor)

I hate the no airflow trend. I much prefer a mesh front

I've considered that case, but I don't like that the tempered glass side panel covers the bottom section of the case. Thanks for the suggestion.

 

Know of any double wide cases like the D600? I've seen the TT one but it looked really flimsy

How about Cooler Master HAF Stacker 935? Or 945.

System in the bottom and radiators in the top.

And if I recall correctly you did not like The Tower 900 either.... hmm.....

Corsair Crystal 570X? Custom loops in that case are gorgeous

The tempered glass front does allow for plenty of airflow so that shouldn't be an issue. It also comes in red and white variants if that's your thing

Im sorry to say, but then there is no way around caselabs to get as close to "perfect" as possible. SMA8 is on sale on Amazon right now. Depending on your configuration you can save some bucks if you buy.

Won't be able to get that now as I'm in the planning and saving money stage atm. Probably 6 months at least before it happens. I guess I'll just try to save some more money or hope that another case which is more suited for me is made.
