Help finding cases that support 360 and 280 radiators.

Hey LTTF,

Been away a long time. I come back seeking your neverending wisdom.

 

I want to upgrade from my Define S. It's a great case, but I'm really loving the full glass side panels I've been seeing. I also want to add a radiator to my custom loop and that's going to be a close fit. My pump/res is almost touching my GPU backplate.

 

My current setup is an atx X99 Strix motherboard and a gigabyte g1 980ti. I have a 360 rad at the top with 3 120mm venturis. I feel like my fans are spinning too fast, so I would like to add another radiator to get them to a whisper even when I'm gaming. I already have 3 140mm Venturi fans that I'd like to recycle by getting a 280mm radiator. 

 

So the TLDR is my perfect case is a classic atx tower, no cubes or flipped layouts. Supports a 360mm and a 280mm radiator in any config. Supports 140mm fan in rear. Bottom mounted PSU. Full tempered glass side panel. No 5.25" drive bays. I would like to spend between $125-$175.

 

I can't find this case anywhere. Help me LTTF you're my only hope.

Even though it has somewhat questionable air flow, the InWin 303 fits your requirements quite well. It's a well built case with some pretty good design considerations, definitely worth a look.

The New Machine: Intel 11700K / Strix Z590-A WIFI II / Patriot Viper Steel 4400MHz 2x8GB / Gigabyte RTX 3080 Gaming OC w/ Bykski WB / x4 1TB SSDs (x2 M.2, x2 2.5) / Corsair 5000D Airflow White / EVGA G6 1000W / Custom Loop CPU & GPU

 

The Rainbow X58: i7 975 Extreme Edition @4.2GHz, Asus Sabertooth X58, 6x2GB Mushkin Redline DDR3-1600 @2000MHz, SP 256GB Gen3 M.2 w/ Sabrent M.2 to PCI-E, Inno3D GTX 580 x2 SLI w/ Heatkiller waterblocks, Custom loop in NZXT Phantom White, Corsair XR7 360 rad hanging off the rear end, 360 slim rad up top. RGB everywhere.

The Enthoo Pro M is definitely my choice in that lineup. There's also the H700i, but it's double the price and comes with some unnecessary features like the machine learning hub thats mostly garbage in my mind

Well now there's also the Define R6 coming out. So I have a lot to think about now.
