not an option as with being disabled, some days I stay in bed so it needs to be movable and compact
help with choosing smaller case

Sorry to read that, and noted.
Checking if NZXT do a panel without a window - with some of these cases you can buy a separate panel.
only problem is I'd have to lose the odd but not too worried as I never really use it
its available without a window
Thoughts?
It reviews well - and is comparable to the Fractals i like, from some reviews.
can I setup the aio and fans the same way
From description and pics i would have thought so - Clicky
Checking some more - does it fit the rest of you criteria if it does?
- AIO top
- intake at the top
- ANd rear fan
yes it does and the windowless version looks very nice and clean, would 2cm gap be ok for the side
Oddly enough that's the bit i'm looking at - it's its one draw back.
Would mean cable management would be a bit of a squeeze - but not impossible.
I meant 2cm against the desk side
I have my case flush to the inside of my desk - i would have thought 2cm would be enough (but you would be better able to asses this).
However, i can't assess the impact movement would have - although with the case being pressed firmly against the desk this should improve stability by reducing rocking when moving.
the pc should be very steady, I just wish the windowless version was available in black/red
You could buy a solid panel for the black red version?
are the panels available separately
I would have thought you would be able to - you can with most other quality case suppliers.
I would drop them an email/ticket and ask - Clicky
thanks I will
I've decided to keep my current case, all the case feet are on the wood and its very steady, thanks for your suggestions, 1 last question would it be worthwhile moving the bottom fan to the front and removing the odd
Given your setup (i7 7700 and GTX 1080) your temps are great.
And you're clearly achieving these results with relative silence as you didn't mention any issues within your posts. If this is the case I would personally leave well alone - as you have an excellent setup that's quiet and is cooling very effectively.
I just thought it would lower temps even further, I'm going to turn the PSU upside down so the fan is facing down
Ah, I assumed it was already.
As you're essentially on a plinth it's the way I would, personally, orientate the PSU - i.e. fan facing downwards.
As for your rear fan - there's arguments for both. But the PSU will generate heat and the fan right above it will help pull that heat straight out away from your GPU. Plus, you have 2 very effective fans on your AIO pulling relatively cool air straight out of the case?
I'm presuming your front 2x fans are pulling air in and the top and rear fans are exhausting?
