New case must be black and be able to hold 2x 480mm rads comfortably as I will be re using most of my old kit and be no more than 650mm tall. Run a m.2 2x ssd and a mech storage drive. No real budget in mind but nothing that's over £600 ideally

Thanks

Not many cases that will fit that bill.

Maybe the Fractal Define 7 XL? - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/frac...black-dark-tint-tempered-glass-ca-08p-fd.html

Why will I struggle? Is it the 2x 480 rad support? That case looks nice and clean but in pretty sure I won't get a 480 in the front and top at the same time.

Fractual define 7 xl no restrictions stated if 420mm fitted, could email fractual.

Front radiator support - Up to 480/420mm
Top radiator support - Up to 480/420mm

I've just looked at some build and max 480 top and 360 front dual 480's would clash. Maybe I need to drop to a 480/360 combo to open up my choices. I'm pretty sure the difference in cooling will be negligible.

No 480mm support unfortunately as they are a lovely case

Still searching for that elusive case that fits the bill. Wife won't let me change desk or location so stuck with 650mm height clearance
