So I have been planning the upgrade of my current rig from the Phanteks P400S to either the Exolv X or O11 Dynamic in preparation for my custom water loop...but I honestly can't seem to make my mind up.
I have always loved the Evolv X and have plans to do a custom inverted hex-cutout pattern like Gosumodz used to do on the front and top to increase airflow (and for badassery looks), and do either paint or powder coat the case itself white to match the desk I am currently building that is white with a natural wood desktop and stainless steel accents.
But the O11 Dynamic is incredible in its own right and has the advantages of already being white, but also has the power button on the front which will prevent one of my cants from jumping on top and accidentally hitting the power button when I am on my PC and turning it off at the worst possible time (as he did last night during a raid!).
So yeah...I've wanted the Evolv X since I first saw it, and love the loop design I have mapped out for it...but the O11 Dynamic makes adding a custom loop easy with the EK Waterboard for that case.
What would my fellow builders say to this conundrum?
