Narrowed the case options down.

As usual, looking for some input requirements are simple, appeal to my sense of aesthetic and support eatx.

 

I prefer the aesthetic of the pc-011 but my gpu is too large with the wb, I would need to put it in vertically (not a fan) or commission a cost wb mod

 

Pc-08 is just a EXTRA T H I C C version of the pc-011, not as much to my taste but still nice.

 

Define r6 is simple, the most "boring" thing on my list.  High rad capacity with 420 + 360 being a likely route.

 

Scratch build

Here's where things get dicey, it would probably cost more than anything else and have the highest risk - but conversely has the highest reward.

It would be a cube with 2 tg panels in the vein of the 011, but a bit wider on the system part and having hidden 5.25" mounts.  Maybe 200mm rad support on the back

yea i say so, imo it looks better and will have better airflow, they also have multiple case color options and you can always plastidip it, one more thing i would still like to buy those fittings

Obviously price isn't the biggest concern and the pc-011 with what ever mod you are talking about would be the easiest solution.  It looks like you are looking for affirmation to go ahead with a custom build.  Basically if you have the confidence in your ability to do a custom build then do it.  I know that I would prefer having singularity computers build my next rig over trying to get the perfect machine myself.  My point would be that there is value in having someone who is seasoned in the field do what they specialize in vs doing it yourself.

Have you looked at the SC spectre case? If you are looking for a perfect machine go check them out.

Just took a look, about 4x over budget.  Not my style but very nice.

Considering that the process of building is the sole reason I own a desktop paying someone else to do it for me would be meaningless, even if the end product is superior.

 

I am capable enough to make the case myself but it would take hundreds of manhours and many tools I don't have.  Maybe so can wait until I have access to a college's machine shop in 8 or so months.
