Need help finding case.

[Liracto]

Hi, it's been a long time since I've posted here and I really hope someone could help me solve my issue.

Because of the layout of the room where I am installing a PC (see picture below) and because of my desire to be able to see inside of it I require a PC case which has a large window on the right side panel (from the viewpoint of looking at the front of a case). The desk is also limited so I am trying to avoid cases over 200mm in width, depth is also short in supply

So far my best solution would be a thermaltake core G3 with a modified side panel to improve the view, however I am worried about cooling due to limited fan mounting options, I am thinking of having a single 120mm all in one water cooler for the CPU, an additional 120mm front intake and a 120mm top exhaust.

I am also trying to avoiding purchasing too much additional hardware, the main issue being that the case is designed for a 130mm max length PSU and I have a 180mm RM750 and SFX PSU are expensive. I have considered mounting the PSU externally under the desk and feeding the cables in through the hole left by having no PSU internally mounted but this seems rather messy.

I also considered relocating my SSD somewhere out of the provided bays and having my HDD in the top bay and somehow managing to get the RM750 into the case, making use of the space in the unoccupied bottom HDD bay.

The hardware I am installing is as follows.

Motherboard: Asus Sabertooth 990fx R2.0
PSU: Corsair RM750
CPU: AMD FX8350
CPU Cooler: Not chosen yet, open to suggestions.
RAM: 2x8 DDR3 Corsair vengenance
GPU: MSI GTX 1070 Quick Silver 8G OC
SSD: Samsung 850 Evo Pro
HDD: Seagate 3TB

I look forward to peoples suggestions.

Have you taken a look at the NZXT S340? It's about 200.0 x 445.0 x 432.0 mm (WxHxD) and 180mm PSU should fit inside with no issue.

Hi, the window is on the wrong side to what I need thanks.

I've scoured the product pages of nearly all the big and medium case manufacturers, and there's really only two other cases with right side window and they are both $200+ and oversized: the be quiet! Dark Base 900 Pro (243mm (W) x 585mm (H) x 577mm (D)) and the Silverstone FT04 (219mm (W) x 546mm (H) x 482mm (D)).

The Thermaltake G3 cannot take your Corsair RM750. It's not just the 130mm depth, but width and height aren't enough also. The design description clearly stated that it's for SFX PSU and that mean a completely different form compare to your ATX RM750; tl;dr: your Corsair RM is 140mm wide and 83mm tall, SFX PSU are 125mm wide and 63mm tall; it will not fit inside.

Hi, yes you're right in both of those matters. I've decided to order the G3 and I will then test the system with the RM750 externally and if the system is able to cool my components sufficiently I intend to order an SF600 and an ID-COOLING FrostFlow 120L (only decent looking 120mm AIO with an LED I can find). In addition to this, one Corsair SP120 and two Corsair AF 120 to replace the stock fans.

Although this is straying off the original topic could you, or anyone give some feedback on this cooling arrangement, keeping in mind that the side panel will be replaced by a none vented custom panel.

Many thanks.
