The most difficult part in building a hacintosh for me is choosing a good case.
Motherboards and cpu's have there specs and are rather easy to choose from.
A good casing must be silent, provide enough room for the graphic cards, fans and cooling systems.

My next project will have one of these Thermaltake Water 3.0 Ring RGB coolers (360 or 280)

But maybe it will be a NZXT Kraken x62

I already have a Asus 11GB D5X GTX 1080 Ti STRIX Gaming card.
I will use my current cpu i7 6700k but as soon as things are stable it is possible to swap it for a 7700
The motherboard will ba a ATX card (Asus Maximus IX - don't know yet which one exactly)
Preferably I would like to have room for a DVD-writer but can do without.

What casing would you advise for these components?
Size of the casing is not an issue, it doesn't have to be small. I even prefer a larger casing wit enough room to expand if needed.
 
I like my Fractal Design R5 case, silent, easy to install stuff, fair price. Don't know about big watercoolers though, don't like/use them.
