For real now, new year, new case:
Revoccases' MIT1-XXL. Okay, not really that new, as I do have the XL, but decided to get the XXL for some better hardware compatability (front 120mm/140mm with 120mm mounting holes fan, slightly longer GPU support). Full album link is
here.
As it's pretty much the same case, the build quality is superb as usual from Revoccase. Thermals, airflow and noise is great.

The Intel i5-11600K performs alright, hitting up to 86C in Cinebench R23 with CPU Package Power hitting 155W at 4.6GHz all cores, according to HWinfo64. While gaming in Mechwarrior Online, the CPU goes up to 70C, while the GPU at 72C.
I also tried a different layout and cooling option before I got the 11600K, with a 11400 cooled by Thermalright's AXP120-x67, with a 120mm fan on the side panel pushing air in.
And just to see what clearances you get when install the front fan and the motherboard:
