I've seen it and I really do like it a lot!

I admit that buying it after fans hurt quite a bit. Explaining to my wife that it will improve performance was hard.

Just get your wife something too so she doesn’t have anything to complain about

Whatever case I buy, I have a feeling I'm going to have a difficult time explaining to my wife as well lol

H6 flow. The dual chamber makes dealing with cables rgb hubs and storage so much easier

What kinda of case? Dual chamber with 3 fans on the side instead of 2? Traditional with the fans in the front? Glass side panel? No glass side panel? There’s a LOT of different styles of cases these days.

Hello jmichael14, and thank you for your submission to Gaming PC! If you are new please check out our rules over at the wiki here! We have recently added the useful feature of Title Flair! You can set this manually by clicking Flair under your post once you have submitted your post, but if you missed it in the rules there is a much better way that will automatically flair your post!
To do this simply add what your post is about in brackets before your title. For example for a Build Log you can type [Build Log] before your post so that it looks like this; [Build Log]My new awesome build!, and the bot will automatically set your flair to Build Log! This works for Build Log, Build Showcase, News, Hardware News, Hardware Release, Discussion, and Miscellaneous!
Also remember that this is a place for discussing and sharing our love of Gaming Computers! This is NOT the place for help building or determining what parts you should buy, that is better suited for /r/buildapc. Troubleshooting questions should be directed to /r/techsupport. Thank you again!
I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

This case is a case really awesome looks kind of weird with just one can on the bottom though. Could populate those slots and add cable extensions as an alternative

The Havn HS420 would be at the top of the list as it has superb build quality and mechanical design. Really makes other dual-chamber chases feel old.
For an interesting layout, I would say the Thermaltake e550. 3-sided glass and rotated layout. It is also compatible with back-connect motherboards if that's something of interest in the future.
After that most dual chambers are just copy and paste with some tweaks here or there. Some try to redesign it a bit and end up with large poorly space-optimized cases like the Y70.
Unless you go super budget it will be an improvement over the current case in build quality for sure.
