Hi ya!
In about 3 weeks i will start building my new machine, and will be based on these:
MB = ATX (MSI MAG X870 Tomahawk)
CPU = R7 9800X3D
CPU cooler = Arctic Liquid Freezer III 360
GPU = Gigabyte AORUS NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 XTREME WATERFORCE 16GB (360 AIO)
Power supply: ASUS ROG Thor 1200W Platinum (15 x 19 x 8.6 cm)
These are important in the chassis choose, everything else doesnt matter in this decision.

So, basically, i'll have to fit 2 x 360 AIO in the case, and in my opinion the best solution would be both to be push out (exhaust), im not sure why but i dont like the idea of one being intake and the other outtake.
As i can imagine now, the best solution would be 1 x 360 AIO radiator to be top, the other to be side / front. Then, my job would be to equalize the flow pressure with intake fans in bottom / side / front / rear.

I never been so torn between so many so good cases. I like the dual chamber cases in same measure i like the old style "compact" chases and i can't decide myself. More than that im sure there could be things i dont see at the moment and here, some of you, with more experience, can come to help.
My options seems to be these 8 cases, 5 dual chamber, 3 classics (the order is quite random):
1. Lian Li 011 Vision
2. Lian Li O11 Vision Compact
3. Lian Li O11 Dynamic EVO RGB
4. LIAN LI - LANCOOL III
5. Montech King 95 Pro
6. Montech Sky Two GX
7. Fractal North XL
8. Phanteks NV5 MKII

Other things to take in consideration:
- the budget doesnt matter, more or less £150 for a case that i will keep for about next 4-5 years is next to nothing.
- the sound / noise it doesnt matter so much. Of course that in the end this could make a difference but if you have a good case / scenario in mind please dont be afraid if would be bit more noisy than usual.
- the case would be on floor, under the desk.

ANY IDEA MUCH APPRECIATED (but please keep it for yourself if you just want to say "why on earth you need 2 aio in a case"!)
CHEERS!
