New PC Case, need some suggestions! :)

[Spectre_0]

Hi folks,

 

I'm looking to see if I can get some recommendations or advice with a new case. 
I'm looking for something to replace my Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ATX Tempered Glass.

 

In terms of the hardware I have in their and I will be transferring into a new case I have as follows:
MSI Seahawk X 1080Ti (with the inbuilt AIO)

Asus ROG Crosshair VI

Ryzen 1800x

Corsair Rx850 PSU

Corsair H110i (default fans)
Corsair Dominator Platinum 3200Mhz 16Gb kit

 

I know looks are subjective but I appreciate other folks opinions or experiences with cases.

Thanks in advance guys and girls :D.

My mate had the Omega and struggled gettting 1 AIO in with his motherboard nevermind 2 xD. The 570x is nice, I nearly got that before I picked the Enthoo Evolv TG.

Define C is my personal favorite

That's a shout actually, I had the Define R4 and it was very good case.

What's the limitations of your current case? AFAIK the Evlov TG is a very capable case so are looking for a different look or more space?

I'm looking for something with a different look really, the cooling could be better in this case too.

 

Also with the current layout out my Hybrid drive is kinda just laying around in the case. The two RADs tubes interfered with one another when the 240 was at the top and I moved it to the front and lost my 3.5inch trays, so my hybrid SSD is kinda laying around in the bottom of the case.

Well for looks the Lian Li PC-O11 Dynamic wins it for me and it's a decent performer and it's also very well priced. I like the H700i as well especially if your look at the side of the PC more than the front very clean interior.

Damn the PC-O11 is nice... I like the cube style cases, I've owned the Corsair Air 540 3 different times haha. Though I don't see where I'd mount the 2 RADs...

2 slots for triple rads hehe

Lian Li outdone themselves this time given their track record of poorly ventilated cases. Working with Der8auer definitely helped

Yeah that ones definitely on the list! My 240 and 120 rads would go in there easy peasy. I regret the MSI Seahawk X now tbh, it's keeps cool and all but mine isn't much of an overclocker so it's a bit disappointing and the RAD limits cases sometimes.

Not the PC-O11(Right), The PC-O11D (left)  

They improved everything about the case and reduced the price. 10/10 IGN

 

There's also the Define R6 at $150

 

The Modular Storage Plate on the side is movable if you want a more Open layout

Got to have a good think now, thanks folks! Not sure what I'll go with.

Got say though I am awful tempted by a desk case.

Desk cases can be good, but they're also very limiting. 

 

• Limited height
• mediocre arflow
• attention to detail is paramount; no untidy cables!
• hard to move if the system needs to be transported without dissassembly
• is usually not adjustable; prebuilts might not sit at a good height or might be too small as a desk
• significant expense

Most of these issues can be fixed by going DIY, but then you have to make sure you plan out EVERYTHING and it's usually more than what people are up to the task of.
