Please can you help with advice before I order a new PC. I was really impressed with the looks and large cooling fans of the Coolermaster 500M case but no system builders seem to sell it anymore (Overclockers have it on order but unlikely to get one as it seems to be end of life?). Is that right? Is it no longer available? Amazon have an inflated price one but if I send that to a system builder and the PC has a fault, it will be hard to show if it is the case or the new system at fault - so its better to buy everything from the same company. There is a new HAF case but it has poor reviews as a budget case. As an alternative I like the look of the Corsair 5000X glass front panel case but I'm worried about air flow not being sufficient - the air flow grill version doesn't look as stylish to me. Have you any first hand experience of the Corsair 5000X Glass to cool say a new I9 13900K CPU with an Nvidia 4080 card using a 360 Aio please? It has taken over 2 years to save funds so dare not make a mistake - thanks for your advice :)

I have a 5000x with a AF2 360 AIO front mounted in that case... It won't fit on the top but other AIO's can. I also have a 13900k and a 4080. 6 intake 120mm fans, 1x 120mm exhaust and 2x 140mm exhaust fans. I have the fans running around 800 rpm. No issues with cooling.
