Lian-Li Case Upgrade Recommendations

[Kyo]

Hi

Been thinking a long time to upgrade my GPU but because i have a unorthodox case layout with my silverstone Raven02 (all connections are face top of the case), (pic isnt my case but very similar)

I cant install new GPUs (3080) which are at minimum 30cm plus in length so I dont have the room without removing the 180 mm fans at the bottom which defeats the point of having the case. Therefore its inevitably time to upgrade my case as well.

Been eyeing up Lan-Li Lancool Mesh II or even III. This modular case should have more enough space to fit a new GPU as well as be pretty good with the air cooling with all the fans you can fit. This should be just as good if not better for airflow right? Is it worth it to go with III over cheaper II? Also does this case support SATA Drives as it only mentions SSDs?

Thanks

3080/ti founders editions (admittedly harder to get) are only 285mm long...

As to storage:
mesh 2 - 3 x 3.5” HDDs/2.5” SSD - trays support both sizes plus an additional 6x 2.5 ssds
mesh 3 - 4 (2x2) x 3.5” HDDs/2.5” SSD - trays support both sizes plus an additional 8x 2.5 ssd's

As to which is best: honestly not a lot in it imo, the 3 supposedly 'fixes' some of the downsides of the 2 (can't remember which review I saw about it though)
