Hi All,

I currently have an Antec Twelve Hundred v3 case which I am looking to replace with a smaller case which has similar or better airflow.

I have heard good things about the following cases:
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/lian-li-pc-o11-dynamic-midi-tower-black-window-ca-76s-ll.html
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/cors...-cube-case-black-cc-9011030-ww-ca-143-cs.html

With regard to the Lian-Li 011 Dynamic can anyone advise on how best to setup the fans E.G. how many to use, intake / exhaust configuration?

The case will need to be able to fit a Phanteks PH-TC14PE CPU Cooler and a Zotac GTX 1080ti amp extreme. The system is currently air cooled however I would like the case to be able to support an AIO when I eventually decide to upgrade.

All advice / other case suggestions are appreciated!

Your cooler wont fit in the PC-011 Dynamic, said case will only accept coolers up to 155mm high, your cooler is 171mm high with both fans according to the specs on Phanteks website.
Max CPU cooler height in the Corsair is 170mm. It might fit at a pinch but I wouldn't risk it. You may as well buy an AIO at the same time as the case.

Asthetics = The PC-011D, no question. In fact I bought one 6 months ago.
Corsair = no. Too wide for where I've put the 011D, it just about fits.
Coolermaster = probably the best case of the three for airflow if thats important to you.
