Hello everybody, I've been browsing threw many many cases but still didn't find the perfect one for me. 

I hope you can give me some Input. 

 

I found two cases that I like really much. 

One is the Corsair 450d with the side window and the other one is the phanteks Enthoo M Tempered glass. 

Corsair has the better Airflow, since in the phanteks case one radiator gets pretty much blocked but the phanteks overall looks better. 

 

Since I want a case that looks similar to these but I can't find more of them I hope you can help me out :-) 

 

Greetings

i like the fractal design define s and define c series, meshify is cool as well.

 

i own a define S

 

they are simple functionnal cases, well built with decent airflow, you should'nt have issues with one.

define S have more space for reservoir, define C is standard atx with psu shroud and tg, meshify is the new front look with psu shroud and tempered glass

 

define s is older, define c is middle and the newer one is meshify, they also have other models with a lot of similarities to those, and smaller/larger cases, good case company overall.

Components are: Z370 Taichi Mobo, 8700k with NZXT x62 AIO, MSI 1080 Ti Trio X, 16Gb Ddr4 

Check out the Cooler Master Mastercase series, they have good support and mounting for AIOs. Airflow is good, and they also have windows and good cable management.

I've enjoyed building in the CM Silencio 652s a lot.
It doesn't look flashy, it seems like you are into that.

But thermals are very respectable and noise is excellent!

Even my next build will most likely stay in this case or move to a new but yet the same case (2 of my USB ports shorted out, user error)

Again it looks like business/work, not flashy.. at all.
Also build quality is top notch! :)

Too bad with his 325mm card, Define C series isnt even an option really (He'd have to front mount the 280mm AIO) But the Define S would be!

Not necceserally, you just shift the RAD down (photos from pcpartpicker) That, or you could top mount it

Personally I'd go with the Enthoo Pro M TG, it hits all your check boxes
