Case Recommendation

Hey folks,

 

I am looking for the perfect case (or the next best thing :D) for my PC build.

 

I am going for the msi z370M Gaming pro AC m-atx MB, so would prefer a mini tower, but not too many options out there. Considering the fact that I would be putting in a 1080 or 1080ti and liquid cooled i7-8700k, mid tower is probably the smallest I can go. 

 

I do like the Aerocool Strike-X Cube Mini-Tower and the CM h500p , but not quite sure on neither.

 

To sum it all up, the requirements are,

 

1. mid tower or smaller, mini tower if possible

2. water cooling support for CPU (probably CM masterliquid pro 240)

3. MB supports 4x3.1USB, 1x3.1(type-c) and 4x2.0USB in the front alone. So would like as many I/0 in the front as possible.

4. No need more than 2 or 3 HDD bays

5. Not a fan of RBG, so no preference there

 

Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks

If the Meshify C isn't too big for you go for the Meshify C

Mention me if you want to summon me sooner or later

Because from a glance look i thought it was mAtx case, but Phanteks Enthoo Pro M or Shift (not this) can be other options
