The Boy's rig (2600X, B450M, RX590 Pulse) is suffocating in its current Jonsbo C3 Plus shellsuit - and I've bought him a 5700XT Red Devil for Xmas.

Since I had a brainfart and installed a PSU with only one GPU rail (Superflower Leadex III 550W), that's had to be upgraded (SF Leadex III 750W, arriving tomorrow), so I may as well go all-in and sort out a case that'll actually cool his components.

White, M-Atx or small footprint ATX, Vertical GPU with excellent airflow...
RGB/Fans aren't really necessary as we already have a bunch.

Currently considering:

Phanteks P360 *£103.90* :
(LxWxD): 455 mm x 200 mm x 465 mm

Corsair 275R Air *£89.98* :
(L x W x H): 457mm x 216mm x 455mm

LianLi Lancool 2 Mesh: *£124.98*
(LxWxH) 478mm x 229mm x 494mm

Fractal Design Meshify C: £87 (+£39 Third Party GPU Bracket) - pretty sure this is too small for the 300mm Red Devil.

(Prices are including the Vertical GPU kit/Riser cable)

Let's set a budget ceiling of £130 - what else should I look at before ordering?
 
Small footprint and vertical card, Thermaltake Core G3 immediately springs to mind
454 x 140 x 371

Looks great, but "dual expansion slot VGA of up to 310mm in length without front fan" is a concern. Also, no Snow edition...

The S300 caught my eye, but at 508mm deep, it's far too big for The Boy's IKEA Micke desk (1000×500mm)
 
Decided on the Lian Li Lancool 2 Mesh RGB, with the vertical GPU mount...

... slightly more than I wanted to pay, but it means we can consider a full custom water loop in the future.
My Son's not spoiled - I'm just a terrible parent! :p
