I've been researching cases such as:
Deep Cool CH780
I think the vertically mounted GPU sits too snugly to the MB, and that last fan on my GPU would blow hot air on the MB, which could lead to heat issues with my M.2, among other components.
Hyte Y60
Checks most of the Boxes, but there are only 3 slots for the vertically mounted GPU. From what I have read, a 3 slot width GPU doesn't have much room between the fans and the glass, as such people have GPU's getting hot.
Hyte Y40
Really like the looks of the case, and it checks a lot of boxes, but my research has lead to the discovery of two problems. First, you can have problem fitting a 360 mm radiator (which most in that class are slightly bigger the 360mm) up top without removing the back exhaust fan. Second, a GPU with 3 fans (which is what I have) ... the last fan lines up perfectly with the bottom side mounted fan, and the airflow cancels one another, causing a dead air flow zone in the case and can lead to less cooling performance.
The only one I have looked at that seems to check all of the boxes(except afforability) is:
Hyte Y70
It fixes the problem of the Hyte Y60 by having a 4th vertical slot, and the extra space allows adequate air flow to the GPU. But it's A LOT more expensive (more than I want to pay for a case) and though the touch screen is cool, its not something that I think is worth $200 plus more than the Y40 ( which also adds 4 slots to rectify the Y60 issue).
As such, I'm looking for more options.
My criteria are:
1) Panoramic view glass.
2) Vertical Mounting of GPU.
3) No cooling issues.
4) Better accommodation of 360mm+ Radiators.
5) Affordable.
6) Decent cable management.
If anyone has any suggestions for similar cases that hit the criteria above, I would deeply appreciate letting me know as I've really spent a lot of my free time researching, and I just don't have a lot of free time anymore (kids, wife, job suck up most of it).
