Question Seek Suggestions for large case w/ specific requirements (5090 Build)

[huskylawyer]

So retiring my 2080 Ti double reservoir separate loop gaming computer and building a 5090 rig. My current case is a Thermaltake "The Tower" 900. Great case and served me well but looking for something different (and some quirks i didn't like about it). The requirements:

1) Needs to be able to support two (2) Hardware Labs GTS Nemesis 360 radiators (as I'm reusing them for new build). This a dealbreaker as I love these radiators and don't want to buy new ones.

2) Needs to be able to support either two separate reservoirs (like the mid size corsair hydras) or a beefy distro block. (Still deciding which direction to go). Will be a soft tube set-up.

3) Can fit a Seagate TX-1600 PSU.

4) Can easily fit a 5090 card air cooled stock card. I will eventually add a waterblock on it when I start seeing the reviews on the blocks out there, but the first few months will just rely on the factory fans. DO NOT want a set-up where the fans are too close to the tempered glass (which IMHO impedes proper airflow).

5) I prefer glass sides to see the insides. Prefer glass not be too dark (and clear ideal, but not a deal breaker)

6) Dual Chamber. Generally easy access to both chambers for service.

7) Front traditional USB and USB-C on the front. Prefer 4 but I could perhaps live with 2 or 3.

8) Easy access to graphic card and motherboard inputs (I'm a flight simmer and audiophile so usually a lot of stuff to plug in, though I'll use USB hubs of course). The Tower was annoying as motherboard and graphic card plug ins were on the top of the case, which I hate as had to take off the top cover and practically needed a ladder to access anything as the case was so high on its desk stand.

9) I prefer "showcase" type cases and not the traditional Lian Li 011 cases and knock offs. (nothing wrong with the popular style just not my style)

10) MSI Z790 Ace Board.

11) ideally lot of fan mountable areas (and of course room for my radiators).

The Thermaltake AH T600 Full Tower Chassis is interesting. I've also even looked at the Alphacool Apex Pro Skeleton Carbon Case. Cost not really an issue and will pay a premium if the box checks all the boxes. Ideally not something over $500 (thus why the Alphacool Apex Pro is probably out - yikes), but if something looks super cool in my eyes and is functional I'll get it regardless of price. Not a big fan of Corsair based on my experience with their water cooling products, but could be convinced if people had good experiences with their cases.

I'm located in the US.

Thanks in advance.

Define 7 XL

The Define 7 XL sets a new standard for what you should expect from a full tower case in terms of modularity, flexibility and ease of use.

Not dual chamber but spacious enough to meet all of your above requirements(except the dual chamber part) and mobility can be had with something like this tray;

Might want to elaborate with #9. Corsair were the first to start with a dual chamber design case, if that's the sort of dual chamber case you're referring to. Thermaltake also considered the chamber design with their Spedo Advanced Edition as well, whereby they compartmentalized each heat area with shrouds/ducting which was later extrapolated to the Level 10 case(which was designed in collaboration with BMW Design Works USA. I now wish CaseLabs didn't close their doors and the revival project came sooner than later.

Singularity Computers have a couple of cases(namely the Spectre) in their portfolio and can ship anywhere around the world in spite of being located in Australia.
