So the verdict so far seems to be for the Phanteks...
My only concern I can think of so far would be the top ventilation on the Evolv with my 240mm radiator on my H100i, as the slots on the top seem quite small. Can anyone vouch for these? How much air can they exhaust?

Enthoo Evolv, or if you have not yet done a Parvum then def recommended.
I currently have a Parvum! Lovely case but I'm just a bit bored of it...
The Antec case is definitely interesting but that side window... Or rather lack of! I need to show off the goodies!
And yeah from reading reviews online the exhaust doesn't seem to be an issue from those vents on the top

Enthoo Evolv is the best case design ever!

Do a custom designed one, then you would have a one off model.

So guys, just reviving this thread... Guess what I ordered this morning?
Yep, went with the Phanteks in the end due to the phenomenal response on this thread in favour of it, and I'm happy with the choice I made.
My baby has been temporarily housed in a Fractal Core 1000 for the last month which is... a 30 quid case at the end of the day. It did the job but due to only having 1 120mm fan mount in the front meant I couldn't use my H100i and had to use my stock Intel heatsink which killed me inside slightly!
So over the weekend I will start the transplant, really looking forward to seeing how easy this case is to build in and interested to see what the temps come out looking like.
I will report back in a few days! Thanks for all your help with the decision making!

I actually really like that, it's almost identical size to the Corsair 250D (which I have) but seems laid out better inside in terms of cooler options.
The only thing I will say, is: Why only one USB 3.0 at the front? You have a USB3.0 port and a USB2.0 port - that is disappointing.
At any rate, I actually almost bought it but decided to scratch a Parvum itch I've been having recently.
