Hi, I am going to build a new PC and case is something that I am really unsure about.

I am looking for a case which looks really nice and cool but at the same time is really good for air cooling - has a lot of fans to mount etc. Price doesn't matter.

The ones that interested me the most is Cosmos 2 and Thermaltake Level 10.

Would there be any other suggestion? (also my CPU cooler will be Noctua NH-D15)
 
yes there is, but I am also looking for a case which also looks cool:)

MSI Z97 Gaming 9 ACK Motherboard.
i7 4790k 4GHz Proc.
Noctua NH-D15 CPu Cooler and Noctua NF-S12A Case Fans
MSI GTX 980TI, later on 2 of those for SLI
G.Skill Trident X 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Will go with some 850W PSU, not decided yet which one.
Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" and Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM
Not sure about optical driver jut yet
 
What you and me think are cool could be two completely different things :)

Here are some cases that might aid you:

YOUR BASKET
1 x Antec Signature S10 Full Tower Aluminum Case - Black £399.95
1 x Corsair Obsidian 900D Super Tower Case (CC-9011022-WW) £299.99
1 x Phanteks Enthoo Primo Full Tower - Black/Orange £199.99
1 x NZXT Phantom 820 Enthusiast Ultra Tower Case - Gun Metal £189.95
1 x Corsair Carbide 540 High Airflow ATX Cube Case - Black (CC-9011030-WW) £114.95
1 x BeQuiet Silent Base 800 Orange Case & FREE Pure Rock CPU Cooler Bundle £99.95
1 x NZXT H440 Midi-Tower - Black / Green £89.99
Total : £1,394.76 (includes shipping : Ex.VAT).



If none of those tickle your fancy have a look at Caselabs if money isn't a issue.
 
well all of the ones u sent me looks really cool.
I don't really understand why that Antec is so damn expensive, I might go with 900D at the end. NZXT Phantom 820 seems like a nice choice as well.
 
I've owned the NZXT 820 but moved to the Phanteks enthoo Primo for more radiator room, If your not planning on watercooling then it'll fit everything in you need easily.
 
Well this is going to be my first time trying to build my own PC, in my very first planning I wanted to go with Full Custom loop, but after doing a lot of research and reading guides, I got scared:D.

Considering i never did build a normal one, after I saw guides for watercooling, I am not really confident that I could do it. Also there was a lot of options for watercooling which I didn't understand at all. All different Reservoirs, tubes, Blocks on GPu etc.
 
If you want watercooling without the hassle of doing it yourself look at the AIO units, you can quite happily have a 240 or 360mm radiator at the top of a 820.
 
Well AIO units is watercooling specifically for CPU only right?Can't really do GPU cooling with it as well, and I have to like dig into GPU to put GPU block on it, which is scare in itself:D

Lets just say CPU only, If I use Noctua DH-15 vs. 240mm kraken or 360mm kraken Would there be a big difference? For Temp and Noise?
 
EDIT: I found on website that you also have GPU Bundles, damn didn't even know about it heh

If I buy OcUK Tech Labs 360mm Extreme CPU Liquid Cooling + OcUK Tech Labs 240mm Kraken Extreme VGA Cooling

Can I fit it in Phantom 820? and If I can, how hard it is really to isntall that GPU Block on my MSI GTX980Ti Refence Desing

Not fitted a GPU so can't comment. However if the tubes are long enough to reach the bottom of the case you can mount the gpu radiator there and the cpu one in the top of the case.
 
oh I see, well says instructions are in package and its ez, so might as well go for it!:)
anyway thank you for all great suggestions, seems like I will go for NZXT Phantom 820:)
