I have two NR200 cases in the house and love them, but I had a motherboard issue and thus one set of components is currently in a temporary and ugly case.

I have two spare z490 micro ATX motherboards (from Alienware R11 builds that we ripped apart), and literally all of the other components to make a full build.

I want to avoid paying £250 for a z490 or z590 ITX board so I am looking for a micro atx case that could take two thin (XSPC 240mm thin) or one thicker (Corsair 240mm) radiator and a custom loop (hard or soft tubing is fine).

Any good micro atx cases that support custom loops? This is for a living room build (VR) so aesthetics are important. The Alienware R11 case is a big hulking chunk of plastic and just looks out of place. Basically looking for a slightly larger NR200 or similar with full micro atx support.

Specs: rtx 3070 Ti founders (yeah, waiting patiently for a water block to be released), 10600K, 16GB 2933MHZ RAM, 512gb SSD, and then for the loop I would be using a DDC pump res (Corsair XD3).

Thank you!!
 
I found the MetalfishS5, but the Linus “review” kind of put me off. I think the correct approach is to just accept the financial hit and buy the B560i for £160. My white NR200 is custom painted, so desperate to get it set back up.
