I plan to build a new gaming PC which will be used for both gaming and video editing. I have researched PC cases, but the only case that seemed promising was the Thermaltake Core V71 TG ATX Full Tower Case (https://pcpartpicker.com/product/wG...lass-rgb-atx-full-tower-case-ca-1b6-00f1wn-04), though I would like the built-in fan controller to control all of the case fans. I found some cases that met my specification needs from Cooler Master and Fractal Design, but the reviews didn't look pleasing. I am sure there are other reliable cases out there that would meet my needs. The list of specs I am looking for are as followed:

Required
- Mid- or Full- Tower ATX case
- Aluminum or steel casing
- Has good airflow
- Supports ATX and/or E-ATX motherboards
- Six or more SATA III ports (for two HDDs and two SATA SSDs with room for more if needed)
- Six or more PCI Express slots for components such as Wi-Fi, GPU, and USB expansion cards with room for expansion)
- Dust filters that can be easily removed for cleaning
- Good cable management features
- Built in USB-C ports (if possible, two or more USB-C ports) or an external expansion bay to add on a USB-C expansion card
- Either a built-in fan controller that controls all case fans or has an external expansion bay to install a fan controller [I have an Aerocool F6XT Fan Controller (https://pcpartpicker.com/product/B6TmP6/aerocool-fan-controller-f6xt)]
- Cost up to $200, but I am flexible going up to $250

Can take or leave
- RGB lighting
- Glass side panel
- Expansion bays for optical drives (I plan to use external enclosures for my optical drives if the case I choose doesn't have those bays)
- PSU shroud
- Hot-swappable hard drive bays

I would appreciate any suggestions that you can provide.

Thanks.
 
I don't think I've ever seen a case with 2 USB C ports. OK there is one:


But I don't know how you would hook it up to most motherboards which only support 1.

There are so many great cases these days. You have a LOT of requirements though.

One that checks off most of them is the ROG Hyperion GR701. The person above is correct in that not many cases have 2 USB C ports on the front.
