Need a longer Define C

Currently have a Fractal Design Define C.  However, I also have an Asus Strix 1080 Ti, which is 298mm in length and the Fractal Design Celsius S24.  This means the GPU barely fits in the case and I can't mount my the radiator up front where I want it.  I can mount it if I put the fans on the outside of the frame, but then they have barely any breathing room and I can't put the dust filter on.  I can't mount it on top due to ram clearance issues.  If only this case were just 30mm longer.  What's a good alternative to this case?  I want it to have a generally subdued external look, tempered glass side panel, ideally sound dampening, relatively compact, no 5.25" front bays of any kind (want it full mesh or solid front), and a PSU shroud.  The reason I originally got the Define C was because of its compact size, but I'm realizing it's a bit too compact.  I've been looking at the Phanteks P400S TG version and the new Corsair 275R (either in black).  The corsair seems to be very similar to the Define C, but just long enough to accommodate my setup.  The TG mounting system seems really stupid though.  Bafflingly stupid.  Seems like every case ends up having one glaring issue for my setups :(

Forgot to mention that I don't want anything with a front 5.25" bay. Want a fully mesh/solid front.

It's about 75% mesh! and the ODD by is removable so you dont see it on the inside
