Hi all,

My question is around the ease of builds and overall quality of the cases. I have had a 900D in the past and currently own a Phanteks 719, the latter bugs the hell out of me for building in as everything is just a little too tight when trying to max it out with hardware. For reference I will be putting a Threadripper system in here with full custom watercooling and then possibly a second system later.

The reason for such a large case is simply that I like huge cases with ample room that will take everything and anything you can throw at it. Plus I hate uber-cable management and just like the extra space to shove cables :)

So if owners of these cases could give me the plus and minus points of them I would be most grateful. I have watched every review on YouTube of each so am up to speed but would love to what non-reviewers think and if they had any issues with hardware or came across odd design decisions that were not apparent from the reviews etc, you know what I am getting at.

cheers chaps
 
Guess no one got anywhere with this. What did you go for? I've got a 1000d still sitting in its shipping crate im going to use for my next build. When all the parts arrive.....

Did it fit through your front door okay? :D I've been really tempted by a 1000D as I've always had a secondary mini-itx box hanging around, but it just seems massive! I built a mini-itx system in an NR200P in the end.
