E-ATX Case worth buying?

Any E-ATX case that still has all the basics like a reset button and disk activity LED along with space for 8 2.5" drives and 400mm+ GPUs.

Besides lacking USB-C (easily solved by running a TB4 cable from the back to my desk) and being limited to 338mm GPUs, my Antec 1100 v2 seems to be better than any of the modern crap (I am not one for aesthetics usually).

Since when did a reset button and hdd led become optional even on high end cases?
 
I just got a BB plus membership to give me almost 2 months to think on the 5090 and a laptop I got, good use of $50 especially since I'll get more back in rewards and 2 month returns on nearly 3k worth of purchases. Something tells me 5090s go up in price now just the like 4090s did mid cycle but we'll see. I think will probably get the corsair 7000d and may be add a hdd led to it if I keep the 5090, that dark rock case seems to be flimsy and not well made at all.
 
The "super", 3gb per chip, upgrade will come end of the year.
5080 24Gb for sure.
5090 "super" ? maybe ...

So no sir, the price will not go "up".

The V3000+ has glass sidepanels but it is a toolless case, which makes up for that in my world.

Or go bonkers with a silvervstone case for .. well 10x more money than pendragons suggestion costs.

As somebody who sold a 4090 for 1600 in June of last year only to see it soar since, I beg to differ...

True. I have a 7000D and a 7000X in storage. They're nice, but I got bored with the look after a while, which I tend to do fairly easily lately..lol

I'd take one off your hands if you were near, shipping on cases makes it not worth it.

PA602 is a pretty nice case, I have one too. Just the plain black one though.. Niner has the wood. I had the Torrent Compact before the PA602, now I am in a full sized Torrent.

Feels kinda cheap.
 
Even shipping from Newegg can kind of suck if you want it fast. Nothing worse than paying a few hundred bucks for something and then waiting a week or so for it to come.

You are the epitomy of a sweet summer child if that's the worst outcome in your life.

I was born in January. Worst in my life cmon quit being so dramatic. Waiting a week sucks when you can’t buy local.

End up getting a NZXT H7 flow (2024) from BB for $10 after PM'ing to MC ($60 there right now) and using up some rewards. Will rebuild whenever I find time/am inclined but couldn't pass up the deal.

Yeah that's a good deal, and I've used that case in a past build. It has great air flow and is roomy.
