Hello,
This is basically what I am trying to achieve:
And for that purpose I have been looking for a few days for a case that would allow for such a setup, but they have all fallen short in one way or another, the closest one I found so far would be the Corsair 570X, as you can see here:
I don't care for the fancy stuff though (RGB, tempered glass etc), I just want a dust filter on the front, top and behind without anything else in the way as to allow the most airflow for the fans to work with.
The issue with it is that for my build the 570X is too short, because as a CPU cooler I will be using the Noctua NH-D15S with a 2 fans configuration AND I will be using a Corsair Dominator Platinum 16 Go (x2 8Gb) and it just wouldn't fit with the fans on top and on the left, at least based on the video reviews I have seen on youtube.
Here are my chosen components:
OS: Windows 10 Home 64-Bit
GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Ti GAMING X 11G
CPU: Intel Core i7-7700
Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX H270F GAMING
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15S 2 Fans
RAM: Corsair Dominator Platinum 16 Gb (x2 8 Gb) DDR4 2400 MHz
Storage: Samsung SSD 850 EVO 1 Tb
PSU: Seasonic PRIME 1000 W Titanium
