So I currently have the fractal design define C, which I have had a couple of years and it's a brilliant case (looks smart, super small footprint, quiet and reasonably cool), however it's main selling feature at the time (small size), is now becoming it's biggest problem.
I thought I had 5 hard drives in this thing, turns out I actually have 7... but 4 of them are tension mounted (by that I mean hanging off the cables) and I've removed the HDD cage to fit more fans in.
I could do with a case big enough to mount the drives properly, or at least space to 3M them in place somewhere. I also have a rather large Noctua cooler on the CPU and the GPU is currently under an AIO with 240mm fan that has to be front mounted due to tube length. I was looking at the Lian Li Dynamic (circa £120) as this is about the limit of what I would like to spend and looked smart, however I've no idea if it's a decent case or if there are better alternatives. I would ideally like a TG window, room for a 360mm front rad/fan setup, quiet and with decent airflow. Any advice appreciated!
