Leaning to the Evolv (one of the largest of the Mini cases/easier to work in), the Fractal Core 500, the NCase M1v3, or the Dan4 (Kickstarter).

NCase M1 is cute, but probably inadequate.

What cooling system are you looking to use? Air cooler or water? Any particular part you've picked out?

Will this be a blower 1080 or something else?

Corsair H100i v2 I'd like to use. (will fit the Fractal and the Evolv...don't know about the others).

Not sure which 1080 I'll get, but it will be an EVGA.

Oh, and I just got last week, the Acer 27" XB271HU monitor.... DAMN, it's awesome.

Actually, per the review, "the M1 achieves an unprecedented level of performance capability for its size, able to accommodate GPUs up to 12.5" and 240mm liquid cooling radiators."

My concern is the tight quarters make the build/setup tough. That's why I'm leaning to the Evolv.
