So my plan is to build out a new computer sometime after the launch of the 5 series cards. My leaning right now is I will go for a 5090 and just be done for a few years for my needs. With that in mind, I'm looking for a new case for this build and I'm thinking I may want to go full tower instead of mid tower. My current Meshify 2 doesn't feel like it would have much room if any for any kind of add on card with a 5090 shoved into it haha.
I don't necessarily need a full tower but here are my needs in priority order:
Fit a 5090 (Understand we can't guarantee until we know its size)
Quality (I know this is subjective, but I have not followed the case game in a long time)
Primarily Air Cooled, Will most likely reuse my Arctic Frozer 360 but will definitely have an AIO for the CPU.
Fit at least a sound card (this might be more Mobo driven, but my current board would struggle to fita sound card even with a 3080.
I know the modern motherboards sound is okay, I just find how they handle switching between headphones and speakers to be annoying. Or I'm doing something wrong but my sound cards usually let me really have separate settings.
Possibility of Watercooling one day.
I'm not super worried about price but I'm not an extreme overclocker heck I barely overclock anymore. So while I appreciate quality, I probably also don't need anything special like a case labs.
Edit: Hmm Fractal makes a XL version of the meshify..... The pop air xl looks pretty nice too.
