Hey, I am looking for ideas for a good and sexy case for custom loop. So far I am thinking about the Be Quiet! Dark Base 700 or 900 but the full tower might be big too big.

 

Any ideas?

 

edit: lets specify the price range - under 200 euros

MSI MEG X570 Unify

32GB DDR4 Corsair Vengeance

RTX 3080

Dark Base Pro 900

Corsair RM1000i

my bad, should have write the price too... something under 200

Phanteks Enthoo Evolv X, it's $199. Freaking gorgeous IMO, and an amazing case according to reviews. I have the original Evolv, the X kept the same look but improved it a bit, and massively improved the airflow. Plus with Phantek's PSU you can run an ATX and mITX system in there if you wanna go nuts and watercool dual PCs in the same case...

do you know if you can fit 420 rad in the front and 360 rad on top at the same time? Because after a fiasco with define s, I dont trust the manufacturers anymore...

I think you can do 360/360, but IDK about 420...

According to Phanteks it can, though it'd be a tight fit unless you had the in/out at opposite ends from each other.

I asked Phanteks and they said it wont fit... I wish manufacturers would specify this on their website
