Doing a refresh once the new Ryzens are out. Planning to downsize from a beastly HAF X to a more compact midi tower.

Thoughts on these cases or alternatives?

Essentials things are:
Compact midi tower
Full size window
Don't need any external bays
2x 2.5" and 1x 3.5" drives
Kraken X62 280mm AIO

Yea the NZXT does look great but i thought the front panel seemed to lack vents.

I plan to front mount the rad so extra front fan and vents on the corsair seem decent.

NZXT don't do aftermarket spare parts - Corsair do.

For this reason, I've changed my recommendation.

(I'm not bitter, honest)

However their support has been excellent the one time I used it, two of the fans on my H440 failed, I let them know and had new ones within a few days.

Why don't you look at Antec P6 Case?
Sounds perfect for what you want if you are up for mATX sized motherboard.

Actually decided on the S340 Elite after all. Built it last night and very happy. Looks great, easy to get tidy cables and everything fitted smoothly.

Figured the Ryzen's don't get too hot generally so not going to notice a few c here or there.
