Hi, I'm fairly new, read a lot and I'm constantly circling around the same cases until I find something I don't like or doesnt fit.
Basically the main problem is that I have a MSI Trio that is 327mm. I chose it because it was the cheapest, best cooling/lowest noise A-Chip I could get here in germany.
I bought it with a be quiet SP11 750W (which is 160mm) and a Define R6. This currently is coupled with a 7700K and a H150i, which is actually a very good performing combination... but obviously the future in gaming is 8-cores :) While I can't justify simply upgrading to 3700X/3800X or 9900K/S in my head, I feel like if I shrink to ITX to be able to put the PC next to my monitors I maybe would be up for it.

Are there any 15L~+-2 cases around, that are not the obvious choice that would fit 327mm?

Ideally I'm looking for a sandwich, that fits the trio with a vented panel, has the possibility to mount an eisbaer LT240 up top and 2x NF-A12x15 in the bottom.
Are there maybe any almost fitting open source files that I could adjust and have it manufactured myself?

Another option I discoverd was the classic line block EK released, which decreases the trio to the size of the PCB. (which reduces length to ~306-307) But then again I wouldn't be really comfortable with anything below 2x280, 2x360 or 3x240 while dispensing 500W of heat.

While I could live with getting rid of the psu/case I don't want to sell the trio. If that stops me from throwing money out of the windows then thats okay, but maybe I missed some? ?
