Looking for a case, RGB with connection to the motherboard, with glass, and not too wide.

[rul3s]

Hello everyone!
I am looking for a PC case that meets the following characteristics:

Requirements:

• 12 or 14 RGB fans with motherboard connection (MSI Mystic Light, Aura Sync, etc...)
• Tempered glass side panel
• Not too wide, 20-21cm if possible.

Optional:

• Buttons and USB on the front
• PSU "cage"
• Internal/front LED lighting also with RGB Sync

Currently I am using a Thermaltake View 31, but I have two problems with it: on one hand it is too wide (25cm) and on the other hand the RGB fans only work with their controller, there is no SYNC with the motherboard.

So I was considering the option of selling it and buying another one that meets these requirements...

For example, the Thermaltake View 37 RGB edition would be perfect if it were not 26cm wide... https://www.thermaltake.com/chassis/mid_tower_/view/c_00003205/view_37_rgb_edition/Design.htm

Do you have any suggestions? I am a bit tired of looking and looking and the one that has one thing, lacks the other...

Best regards!

Thermaltake View 31

I like the case you have, it's beautiful. The thing about it being wider, I understand that for putting an RL and placing the radiator on top is ideal. I always ran into that problem for not looking at it properly.
I'm considering the idea of looking for another case and leaving mine for another team for that reason, but I understand that you look at all the details so you don't regret the purchase later.

For now I can't help you, but if I see an interesting case I'll post it

By the way, I liked this one (after seeing the one you looked at): https://www.pccomponentes.com/thermaltake-view-27-usb-30-con-ventana
I love being able to see "the guts of the pc" and for the price I think it's pretty decent.

Regards!!

Hey, I agree with Neptuno. Of all the ones out there, I think it has a contained size and everything is very well placed, and it's 20cm wide. What it doesn't have is aura sync for rgb. But I suppose that if you have the rgb connector on the motherboard (they usually come with 2 at least) if you get RGB fans, you'll have to make a thief for the control cables. You shouldn't have problems with the consumption of the leds directly from the motherboard, because at most you'll put 3-4 fans. It would be a matter of looking into it.

Well let's see, I have news hehe.
After looking for a long time I decided on one of the new Thermaltake models this year, the Versa J25. It seemed to meet all my needs, to be narrow, to have RGB with Sync, tempered glass, etc... Only one thing bothered me, and that is that it seemed too cheap with all that for the 70€ it cost.

Well, it arrived today and it has been a real disappointment, although I will qualify the concept of "disappointment", I came from an Antec Twelve Hundred that lasted 6 years like a queen, changed out of boredom, then a Raijintek asterion classic, changed because it cooled little, and finally the Thermaltake View 31 which compared to the other 2, it was noticeable that it didn't have as much quality.

Well, speaking of the Versa J25... The platform is the same for the Versa J22, J23 and J24, the front panels change and little else.
The steel used looks "weak", the fit of the tempered glass is very loose, already new it has play, so I don't want to imagine the vibrations it will give over time.
The fans seemed noisy to me and not very well finished, things like looking at them for a while and not seeing a completely uniform movement.... So nothing, return and to something else.

Seeing the quality of this one I don't dare to ask for another thermaltake, not anymore. The view 31 didn't end up pleasing me, and it resulted in changing in less than 1 year, and this one is even worse.

So after looking and looking in the end I decided on the Phanteks ENTHOO PRO M Special Edition http://www.phanteks.com/Enthoo-Pro-M-SpecialEdition.html.
It seems to meet all that I asked for, it is a little wider than I wanted (23.5cm) but looking at the shape of the legs I think it will serve me since it is mounted on a wall shelf that is 20cm.

It arrives tomorrow, so I will tell you how it is with this one to see if it "satisfies" me.

Regards and thanks for the suggestions!

Let's see if you get lucky with this one. It looks good, but for me, the ones that never disappoint are the Lian Li. Even the low-end range is very good. But you also have to prepare your wallet

Well!
Today the Phanteks arrived and... what a change... I hadn't felt this way when assembling a case in a long time.
Quality of materials, well built, well thought out, beautiful, soundproofed.... In short, I'm delighted with the decision. Above all, well thought out, the way the disks are placed, the holes for passing cables, the removable top bay... Simply great!

I was hesitating between this one and the P400S but in the end I chose this one because it has a better front air intake, and I couldn't have made a better choice!

And now, some pictures.

@rul3s As long as it's half as cool as it looks, it's worth the cost.
A curiosity, is the front panel removable for cleaning?
On mine you have to take the whole thing apart and it's a pain in the ass.
