Hi folks,
I've always been a fan of Lian-Li cases. They aren't cheap, but they always met or exceeded my expectations for the money I've spent. Great airflow when closed, very easy to work with, all aluminum quality and I think they just look nice! In the last 10 or so years I've use 3 different cases from them for various builds:
PC-60-Plus-II
PC-A70
PC-V800 - (used this in the living room with a Core-2-Duo build when we had a 1080p Projector for a few years, that was fun!)
I'm getting ready for my first new build in over 6 years around Coffee Lake, when I can track one down. I no longer have the PC-V800 or the PC-A70 cases, just have the PC-60 and I have a friend willing to take that one off my hands if and when I rebuild, so I'm considering a new mid-tower case. Requirements:

I no longer have the PC-V800 or the PC-A70 cases, just have the PC-60 and I have a friend willing to take that one off my hands if and when I rebuild, so I'm considering a new mid-tower case. Requirements:
- Mid-Tower size. Will be on the floor next to my desk.
- Will not be doing RGB LED type lights on my case or fans. Not my thing.
- I like solid colors. Silver or Black are usually how I roll.
- I will be making my first foray into a Liquid AIO cooler for the CPU, so will need a case that has a mount for rads.
- Would like a front USB 3.1 port, but I know that might severely limit options, so definitely not mandatory.
- Side Window is ok, but not required.
- Airflow is important, of course.
- Doesn't need to be all aluminum.
