Recommendations for a PC case?

    Hi everyone hope you are all keeping well.

    I'm having a hard time deciding on a new PC case what's complicating matters is I'm using a noctua nh-d15 CPU cooler.

    None of the cases I have seen seem to indicate how much clearance they have for a CPU cooler, also I'm looking for one with good airflow and cable management.

    Appreciate any suggestions.

    Lilan li Lan cool 2 is a great case to work with and comes with a variety of fronts to suit all tastes, the 500DX is also a greatr case.

    What about the Lilan Li 011 mini?

    Pure Base 500DX. Yer only man.

    Can vouch for this (seen with panel off)

    Filters work GREAT, and the fans are right up (down?) there with noctua for noise. I bought a 4-pack of noctuas for my old PC to rebuild it (still waiting on a new GPU, ugh) and haven't yet been tempted to swap fans, literally no need. My cat sleeps right in front of the PC so filters were a must and it’s clean enough in there to trust my minis in.

    Thanks I've settled that's definitely the case for me and while I'm at it time for a few upgrades such as a bigger SSD and HDD and maybe an extra 16GB of RAM.

    now the fun part trying to source everything at reasonable prices with out getting ****ed on shipping (**** Brexit).

    I got the Fractal Design 7, man it's big, I didn't realise it would be so big.

    Just curious is the PSU mounted at the front of your case?

    It's underneath the shroud as it is in most cases.
