I've got another build coming up. I'll have an AMD 7800X3D cpu air cooled with either a Noctua D-15 or U-12a. I'll be using a full ATX (not EATX) motherboard, and a big 342mm (3 or 4 slot -- can't remember) sized GPU.

I'd like some recommendations for a high quality case. Not really worried about the cost as long as it's not outlandish. My last build used a Fractal North XL. It's nice but this new one is going to go on a desk rather than the floor and I think something a little shorter may be more appropriate.

I'm going to want something with good airflow. I know those cpus don't run too hot but I am kind of concerned about this 4000 series GPU. I'd kind of like something with bottom intakes so I could blow some air directly into it. I keep reading and watching these case reviews and they've got my head spinning. To be honest I'm probably over thinking things. The reviews are awful nit-picky and most of the negatives they talk about probably wouldn't affect me too much, but I don't want to make a bad decision.

Thanks that Lancool 216 was one on my list to check out further. I'm kind of iffy on the O11 but it's nice looking too.
