Small form factor case with custom loop

shea99

So for my new build im planning i want the case to be of a smaller form factor for portability back and forth from uni. Im planning on anywhere from an R5 1600x all the way up to an i7 8700k with a higher end cpu being more likely. Also the gpu will be a 1070 or above not decided yet. So my problem is what i can fit a custom loop into. Im going to be using the A240G watercooling kit along with the EK_FG 240 expansion. So im just cautious about being able to fit everything in. So the cases ive been looking at are the:

- Meshify C Mini 

- Phanteks Evolv Matx

- Evolv Itx

and maybe even the bitfenix prodigy, however a major factor is tempered glass which i dont believe they offer.

Any advice on which case or any other cases people recommend  or people with experiences with any of these cases with custom loops that have pics would be great thanks

I know it's expensive but I personally use the Ncase M1 and while I don't have a loop, a lot of people do put loops in it.

 

You can get a tempered glass side panel for it buying the case and side panel from sfflab

The evolve matx is about the size of a mod tower, so I wouldn't get it for portability, just leave or the meshify. The it's is also kinda big for an it's case. It has great watercooling potential tough.

I still wanted a more traditional desktop style aswell tho and would be more than im willing to spend on the case with my budget i would say £120 at most for the case

Define Nano S is great. H200I is also a good choice.
