Even if your setup is classical, your setup has specific points : fans, cable mangement, storage, etc, etc...
True, always some interesting details about how specific parts fit. A minor correction though; I do have cables. I don't have management
Regarding cables - was a bit concerned about not having any hidden spaces to stuff excess cable but then discovered front-mounted SFX-L is offset toward the open side and this creates just the right amount of space on the far side of the PSU to stuff some cables so a lazy tidy up is still possible. The small chassis cutouts on that side are also ideally sized and located to help with the cable handling too. Nice.
Otherwise why are you switching your corsair h100i v2 to ncotua c14s. I would bet that this corsair h100i v2 is never quiet (pump noise at idle and fans on load)
C14s is mostly to make it more travel friendly. Saves about a kilo and eliminates liquid. There is also something appealing about the nice synnergy that cooler has with this case.
I haven't found noise to be much of a problem with the H100iV2, I don't notice the pump and when the system is working hard enough to need fast fans I'm jumping around several metres away with a VR headset on and probably wouldn't notice if an aircraft crashed into the house.
While the H100i doesn't have particularly more heat rejection it does have the advantage of sheer mass for greater thermal inertia so I expect I'll have to pay more attention to tuning fan profiles on the Noctua. Variation in fan noise is as important as absolute volume. Lighter systems that heat up faster and cause fans to spool up and down all the time can be really annoying.
