I just upgraded my cpu and with it a360 cooler that my case support(on paper) but i cant fit it cus the case is quite small, i was thinking of switching anyway cus of that same reason it is a nightmare to work in, i want a mid tower but a bit bigger now i need it quickly so my option are slim
I tought on maybe the o11d evo but to be honest the look is great but i am not such a big fan of it cus i like to mount my gpu normaly and not verticaly(i heard that today gpus are quite wide and when normaly mounted you dont have enough room to connect the cables in those kind of cases), and i like the standard case looksbut still the fish tank design is quite pretty so..
I tought that if i am getting fish tank case i will probably take nzxt h9 flow because its wider than the o11 evo but i still on the fence to just get normal looking pc and mount my aio on the front.
And maybe get the be quiet shadow base 800 dx
Which is big with mesh front and cool rgb lights in the front and i heard it has one of the best airflow while still being quiet
or the classic corsair icue 5000x

Not sure what's stopping you from mounting your GPU normally in an o11d evo? The vertical mounting kit is optional, and distance to glass you can just check dimensions and compare with your GPU (and estimate cable stiffness).

Another fish tank case to consider might be the Phanteks NV7 or NV9

I wanted to get the nv7nbut they don't sell them in my area, thx anyway i went for the 5000x in the end cus i can get it by tomorrow and i have good history with corsair
Also most of yhe reviews are good and its quite moddable if i want to change stuff
