New chassis to replace my Lian Li PC-B25FWB

[RamGuy239]

I'm looking around for a new chassis to replace my Lian Li PC-B25FWB which I have completely butchered when I tried to fit the Corsair H100 radiator in there.


Lets just jump to the basic:

Price: Not sure, I'd pay for quality but I want to know my option before I consider how much I would like to spend.

Size: Let's put it this way, like most people I don't feel the need for the chassis to be bigger than necessary but at the same time I hate tight spaces. I would like to fit my Asus Rampage IV Extreme, Corsair H100, perhaps two graphic cards, 4x SSD's, 2x 3.5" hard drives, 1x DVD-burner and I will be connecting a dedicated audio card, dedicated network card and one firewire 800 controller. All this should fit right in without too much hazel.

Performance: I'm going to overclock both the CPU and graphic card(s) and there will be several other components in there and all this needs sufficient cooling. So optimum airflow and cooling performance without too much noise is always preferable.

Weight: Doesn't really matter, but I don't need a tank of steel.

Design: Design is subjective, I for one likes thing stylish, clean, minimalistic and modern. I hate chassises that look their own miniature of a rave-party.


Which chassis would you recommend me to take a look at?

How about corsair 650D? It has nice brushed alu finshed front (after moving from lian li this should be nice), but rest is steel, case will be heavier obviously.
It is quite big, but not too large, ideal for mounting H100, plenty of space, and still a mid-tower. You could also go with cheaper corsair 500R and lower, but I would recommend 650d if I went for corsair case. Maybe new 550D.

I've been looking at the Corsair Obsidian 650D, but does it even support E-ATX in the first place? And I've read I might have a hard time fitting the Corsair H100 in there with a push and pull configuration.
Currently I'm looking at the Corsair 800D, Cooler Master Cosmos II and Silverstone TJ11.

The Corsair 800D seems very nice, but I've read about people complaining about it's cooling capabilities?
Cosmos II on the other hand might be a little too much, it seems like a tank and it got some plastic finishes to it that I don't like very much, how would it's size and pure mass compare to my previous Lian Li PC-P80?
TJ11 looks like the perfect chassis, but the price tag is damn hard to justify considering I could get the Cosmos II for half the price and the 800D even cheaper.

It's a shame its been butchered, it's overall a great case. After having a Lian-Li it's tough to find something similar in terms of build quality and sleek design. If you can wait the Lian-Li PC-V750 should be coming in the end of April which seems to fit the bill. Side question to anyone: Will a 280 rad fit the top mount or will 240 just be enough for the 25FWB?

I wouldn't really go for full tower case just to fit that pseudo little water cooling kit H100. There is no point in using it in push-pull anyway, it is just small and thin radiator. Full tower sure, but rather for full size water cooling loop.
