Hi everyone, building my first machine so looking for info on cases or possible problems with my front runners at the moment.

Looking to use a SilverStone SST-RL06WS-GP - Red Line Midi Tower since it's got a bit of flexibility in relation cooling options (looking to go air cooled first but move to AIOs later on) and lay out.

I also like the Cougar Panzer line and Corsair's steel cases.

Brand spanking new to all of this so any help is welcomed!

Best case ever made according to LTT forums!

Ha I feel that's a bit of a jab there! Not a fan of the angled look on the front mesh.

Define C is the closed front panel with side vents version. Quieter with decent cooling, vs louder but great cooling.

Is the R6 in your budget or aesthetics parameters?  

I would like a mesh front for airflow to be honest

I like the Enthoo but is a bit more expensive than what I would pay for the Silverstone. Would it be worth it? BTW cheers for the Ireland link!

I personally think build quality in the Enthoo Pro M TG is better. The only reason that the RL06 is so widely regarded as "Best in class airflow" is because it comes with 4 fans by default and the dust filters aernt super restrictive (A problem found in some cases like the Lian Li PC-O11 Air). That is simply my somewhat biased opinion, but either case would serve you well. Though, the Enthoo Pro M TG would give you more better support for watercooling due to having multiple spots for radiators.
