Can anyone recommend a case?

[Simon Prater]

I am looking for a case to replace my corsair 750d. Could really use some advice as randomly browsing for cases these days is a pain.

My requirements.

• It needs to fit a Corsair H115i Pro AIO with a 240mm radiator (315mm x 143mm x 54mm.) Preferably top mount but front or back mount also acceptable if I can mount fans on top to vent.
• My motherboard is the ROG Maximus XI Hero. Has 2 large heatsinks on the VRM at top of motherboard.
• It has to have at least 1 external 5¼ bays. Preferably 2. Or a built in USB 3.2 and 3.1 plugs and a card reader.
  
• 4 internal 3½ bays. + 2 2½ bays.
• Big enough to fit the new Strix 3080 OC at 318.5mm (When I get my pre-order ).
• I also want a glass or perspex side. I am not into RGB but have set the CPU block to change with temperature and also like to see the QR code LCD on the motherboard.

If anyone knows of a case that matches my needs it would be appreciated.

I use a Phanteks Enthoo Luxe. It's a bit old now, but certainly meets all your requirements.
- 3x 5.25" bays
- 6x 3.5" drive bays, in removable cages.
- 4x mounting points for 2.5" drives, although only comes with two sleds included. You can also fit 2.5" drives in the 3.5 drive sleds.
- GPUs up to 347mm, or 472mm if you remove the drive cages.
- Up top will take up to 360 rads and (depending on drives, again) the front will take a 240.
- Fan mounts all over the place.
- Perspex window.

Has quite tasteful external case lighting, but you can turn it off, or just not plug it in.
The new Phanteks 719 (which is the Luxe 2 in all but name, due to some BS copyright claim) will also work, as will the Enthoo Primo.
