Mainly looking for performance (in terms of silence), decent looks, and some ability for expansion. It needs to be able to fit large graphics cards like a 980 Ti. I'm currently running a mini-itx motherboard though. It also needs to be able to handle multiple 3.5" hard drives. My PSU is closing in on 9-10 years old now but it runs fine. It's an old Corsair TX750. It's got lots of cables left over. I can trim some off or solder them off but I'd prefer to not.

Probably a standard mid-sized ATX case would be fine. However, I'm looking at the Enthoo Evolv ATX TG and the Be Quiet Dark Base Pro 900. Those both caught my eye. I can afford them but they are $$$ and I could use those $$$ better in my life. So, a case near $100 would be preferable but I don't mind spending more because I'll likely have this case for 10 years.

Thoughts?

Evolv ATX on sale at Newegg + MIR = ~$120. No TG, but still a nice case from reviews.

I see $130. It's not a bad idea but the case doesn't really make me enthused about anything. The tempered glass is so much more appealing.

Get whatever case you want to get the most.

If you are looking for validation or approval, go ahead and get either of those cases, they are both very good.
