I'm looking for a decent case with good air flow and quiet accoustics that will take my Arctic freezer iii 420mm in the top. So far I've found Meshify 2XL, any reccomdation welcome.
Cases that will take a 420mm rad top mounted.

You might recall that I've got the Meshify 2XL.
IIRC the Meshify 2 does that, but check if I'm right.
The Corsair 7000 X and D variants seem suitable.

Yes I've just checked and I think I'd get the Meshify 2 over the 2XL, as I don't need such a massive case. I'll check Corsairs too thanks Vimes.
Sorted. Picked up the Meshify 2 for £130 so good price. Looking forward to top mounting my AF iii 420mm in the roof.

Great choice. Well done
If I was buying again that might be my choice.

My basket at OcUK:
- 1 x be quiet! Shadow Base 800 DX Black (SKU: CAS-BEQ-00771) = £159.98
Total: £167.98 (includes delivery: £7.99)
So just to update. I recieved an email from rainforest where i ordered the Meshify 2, saying ive been refunded. Strangely though its still showing as shipped. Anyway long story short.. I managed to pick up an ex display Corsair 7000D Airflow for £134 described as in pristine condition but has a damaged box. So its a pretty good deal considering they are normally £274.99 will see what turns up. And if the Meshify turns up too, well i dont know what i'll do.

Woah, that's one seriously big case you'll be getting..!
Great price
You could have the choice of side mounting, just because you can, as well as top. Probably too long distance from front mount tho.
Great case, really liked my 5000D, the build quality is excellent.
I'll watch out for the selling off of your Meshify 2, lol.

The Meshify refund was a total mystery to me. I certainly never asked for it. Was looking forward to it, but was kind of wishing I'd gone for the XL version. I can only think the 3rd party involved said to rainforest they couldn't supply it got damaged or something? Still I'll let you know the out come of this. Anyway here's hoping I get a surprise and also a bargain with the Corsair too, was to good a price not to take a punt.

The Corsair 7000D Airflow case is here and it is indeed massive. Looks like ive bagged a bargain here though. Lovely looking case, No idea if the Rainforest (Meshify) one will turn up or not. If it does i'll tell them it has and ive been refunded. I hear they normally let you keep it, so fingers crossed. 
I only bought this case to top mount my 420 freezer iii then use as my second pc, but the case looks good enough to relegate my number 1 case a Phanteks P600S. However when i had the 420 front mounted in the P600 it was a bit noisy for me. So im a bit worried the 420 will be noisy in the 7000D. Is the 420 known to be noisier than the 360? because the Arctic freezer iii is whisper quiet in the Phanteks.
My 420mm is very quiet ,
But mine maybe a bit more quiet due to it being front mounted as an intake so it will have the cooler air being sucked through it then one that been top mounted and setup as exhaust
But then my GPU fans will need to spin faster due to my front mounted 420mm so there will be no gain in the system being quieter setup one way or the other

I've got the 420 in the top of the Corsair 7000D now and it's much better now. I think the new case has made the difference. Happy with my bargain.
I wanted to buy the large case Asus sell to put my 420mm in but it won’t fit on my 60cm deep deskI've got the 420 in the top of the Corsair 7000D now and it's much better now. I think the new case has made the difference. Happy with my bargain.
