650 watt is overkill much (its overkill for me and I have a 8700k and a gtx 1080)

Anyways what features do you want? extra space or as compact as possible? window or no window? how much does looks matter? how much does price matter? do you want included LED strips? how about PSU shroud?

When did you get a third?

 

Also, Meshify C and Phanteks Enthoo Pro M TG are also really good, probably the best IMO

Picked it up off Craigslist.  It was new in a damaged box.  Only damage on the case itself was a small scratch on the right hand side towards the bottom.  I picked it up for $10 USD.  That one is Anthracite Gray with no window on it.  I'm turning it into my media server computer with a 2nd gen I5 processor I got from a dumpster dive computer.  An old Lenovo.  I still have a masterbox 5 sitting next to me right now that I have no clue what I"m going to do with.  Got it for free so it has that going for it.

I love In Win cases.

 

While it would obviously not work for your application, I love my In Win 301, the styling is very clean and build quality is excellent (incredible considering it was like $60).  If their larger cases are built the same way you can't go wrong.

SFF-ish:  Ryzen 5 1600X, Asrock AB350M Pro4, 16GB Corsair LPX 3200, Sapphire R9 Fury Nitro -75mV, 512gb Plextor Nvme m.2, 512gb Sandisk SATA m.2, Cryorig H7, stuffed into an Inwin 301 with rgb front panel mod.  LG27UD58.

 

Aging Workhorse:  Phenom II X6 1090T Black (4GHz #Yolo), 16GB Corsair XMS 1333, RX 470 Red Devil 4gb (Sold for $330 to Cryptominers), HD6850 1gb, Hilariously overkill Asus Crosshair V, 240gb Sandisk SSD Plus, 4TB's worth of mechanical drives, and a bunch of water/glycol.  Coming soon:  Bykski CPU block, whatever cheap Polaris 10 GPU I can get once miners start unloading them.

 

MintyFreshMedia:  Thinkserver TS130 with i3-3220, 4gb ecc ram, 120GB Toshiba/OCZ SSD booting Linux Mint XFCE, 2TB Hitachi Ultrastar.  In Progress:  3D printed drive mounts, 4 2TB ultrastars in RAID 5.
