So ive got a budget of £180 for a new case but....i dont want it to be toooo massive, needs to fit a 360mm in the roof and a 356mm 4080...

Currently have a 4000d and dont want to go much bigger than that if i can help it and dont want side mounted fans as case is on the floor near a log burner so potential dust pit...

only thing ive really seen is the CM td500 mesh v2 or the phanteks g500....

Lian Li 216 would be a good choice. Feel less cramped inside than the bigger Lancool 3, as you can adjust the motherboard according to the cooler used. The front fans, included, are decent. Bottom intake does help the GPU, specially when its fans are off.
The Phanteks G500A is also good, but bigger than the 216.
The problem with O11 variants would be the GPU, as unless you’re using a FE 4000 series would require a £40 angled adapter or vertical mount. There’s few exceptions, but all that would add to cost.
Also worth checking the NZXT H7 flow. Supplied fans are ***** but you can get the case for under £100 and get some decent Arctic P12 and then it in a wind tunnel.

Been looking at various cases all day. Meshify 2 came up trumps but it's just soooo flipping long!

H7 flow RGB seems to be the winner for sure. It's the littlest bigger case and I'm getting my hands on a nzxt kraken elite 360mm so should all match up nicely..
