Best case recommendations for custom loops

Same boat myself. Got a caselabs th10a sat here but prefer my 011 dynamic due to the tempered glass front / side. Looking to get a (black) 011 XL but they're out of stock everywhere, don't know if that means they're EOL and a new case is due? Options for tempered front / back seem pretty limited with dual loop 360....

I have been using a TT view 71 for 2 years now and yes it been a good case but for my new build i have just got delivered a 011D XL in white.

Plenty of room in the view 71 but as most say i just wanted a change :) .
 
011 is a really good case tbf, probably why it's so popular. Had a look at TT cases but the airflow looks shocking. 011 has really nice build quality and finish as well.
 
That new Fractal Design Meshify 2 looks good (the Meshify S2's good as well), if you're into that more conservative look.

But the the O11 is really nice and looks great, it's a bit too wide for my desk setup but would have chose it if I had the space.
 
Would love a caselabs but since they’ve gone bust have u seen the price of used ones

Yeah, I've got mine on there for sale. Seems to be a small caselabs fb group who are really into caselabs as collectors items so probably driving price up. I've got a th10a but don't really have a need for quad 480 rads now on a single gpu... The death of sli has been the downfall of caselabs I reckon....

The thermaltake cases look decent (ht/xt) but after reviewing them, the airflow looks like it sucks balls. Sticking a glass panel infront of fans just blows my mind...

Yep the glass really does ruin airflow on the xt. The core X9 and WP100 don't have this issue as they are mostly mesh on the fan spots.
 
Level 20XT, can fit 3 x 480mm rads, plus a 360, and possibly a 240 at the bottom. Also features lots of tempered glass.

S'what I've got, along with a Barrow distro plate. It's enormous, and a two-person move when built!

I've taken the front glass off mine though. Fair to say there are a couple of design flaws, and that front glass has nowhere near enough clearance.
One day I'll get a piece of mesh cut for it, but for now I have two open 200mm fans just waiting to mangle the cat's tail...
