Fractal Design released the Epoch XL mid-tower case that fits cards stretching out to 425mm and can hold either a 280mm or 360mm radiator up front or on top. The thing ships with three Momentum 14 fans already installed, and you can cram in seven 120mm fans total if you really want to go wild with airflow. CPU clearance maxes out at 176mm, and it handles E-ATX boards up to 275mm deep.
The front panel pops off without tools, and the top slides open with a fabric tab for easy access when you're building or swapping parts. Cable management gets rubber grommets and fixed straps to keep things tidy, plus the front I/O throws in a 20Gbps USB-C port on the top panel.
Fractal went with a minimalist vibe, using mesh panels for ventilation, and offers a lightly tinted tempered glass side panel if you want to show off your components. The TG Light Tint version runs around 100 euros, which seems pretty reasonable considering you get three decent fans out of the box and solid hardware compatibility for both gaming builds and workstation setups.
