Build Advice Need help deciding my next pc case...

[James9002uk]

I have the following PC spec which I need to consider:

ATX motherboard,
i7 9700k with Corsair h100v2 240mm rad,
1x 1TB HHD,
2x SSD,
RTX EVGA 2070 with AIO 120mm 270mm long

Now I'm thinking of the following four cases:

• Lian Li PC-O11AIR
• Fractal Design Define R6
• PHANTEKS Eclipse P600S
• Corsair Obsidian 500D

Of course I've already done my own research on YouTube from the known reviewers but I was wondering if anyone else has moved to either of the above cases and liked/disliked their experience... As I'm really torn between them all...

I'd like the option to maybe go water cooling down the line so needs to be an option for that, I also like the idea of the two compartments that the O11 gives... I'd like the option to maybe mount the GPU vertical as well.

Getting the best possible airflow is important (as the 9700k and RTX 2070 do run hot) and also acoustics, obviously there are trade offs for all and I'm never going to find one for all of the above.

Any thoughts or advice or any other case would be great, thanks!

Some of my favorite cases right there. I'd go PC-011 I think. Tough call. Love the Obsidian's looks too. I'm a huge phanteks fanboy...

But the PC-011 is with that full front glass panel. Beautiful.

Oh, you're looking at the PC-011 Air I just noticed. That's got the front covered with fans. Tougher call now. I'm torn between the phanteks or the Obsidian, leaning towards the Corsair myself.

Thanks for your views @jimthenagual I'm still on the fence with all of them TBH... might have to flips a few coins or ask a magic 8 ball...
