need a new case

smogsy · 7 Jun 2019 at 15:46

I currently have a lian li 011 dynanmic

nothing wrong with the case, however
i went from an AIO to air & my Air cooler is larger than my case

Requirements
EATX support - ROg zenith extreme/2950X/ however would like it small
Good air flow
Left side support would be epic. (eg case being on the left of myself and showing internals)
needs to fit noctua NH d15 TR2

Open to all types

no budget

Sorry i can't help with a recommendation but i would imagine with 'left side support' you would just be looking at the back of the motherboard through a tempered glass side panel?

thats the point left side support you would be looking at CPU/GPU side with the case being o n the left

BeQuiet DarkBase 700 and 900 can be converted to "inverted" ATX layout.

I think the new Cosmos cases support that.

I see what you mean now! My apologies!

I just splashed out on an Anidees AI Crystal XL AR3, More than what i wanted to spend but at least it will accommodate my NH-D15 comfortably! Replacing my Corsair Carbide R300 which i've had about 6 years.

Stealing this topic to leave myself a reminder to look at some cases with inverted motherboard position
