I'm confused as in many reviews its practically stated there the same case. Except your paying for the premium of having glass on h500m and argb

PCS won't let you select the H500 ARGB case or the crystal as the H115 won't fit.
The obsidian appears to be cheapest 'full tower' case but damn it is fugly.

Also it flags the following per the power supply:

You have selected a 850W power supply, but based on our calculations you actually only need a 750W power supply. We have calculated your specification to require around of 690W power including a 20% allowance. Although it is not a mandatory requirement to select a lower wattage power supply, doing so will save you money and the last thing we'd like to do is over charge you!

I think sometimes you have to be careful with that calculation thing. As I noticed before when I went with the recommended score but then checked the order it flags up in red as being near the limit.

I'd look at external supplier for cases then and ship it to PCS, just select "have my own case" in the configurator.

The Lian Li's are the ones to go for.

Ignore that, we would always recommend 100W headroom to allow for upgrades.

Well, swapping out the RGB ram for regular stuff (don't think the rgb makes a difference) makes this case more affordable.. (£151) not sure why it wasn't showing up before:

Yeah that's what I'm currently doing..

Could it be that because my PC is a preorder (for the RTX3080) I can also select Out of stock cases?
I have a feeling that's a bug, they're not showing anywhere on the site other than that amendment.

But that case, the 680x would be the one I would have recommended, it's a fantastic case, very similar to the Lian Li I posted.

You can always try configuring that case if you're happy with it and see if it goes through.

I suspect there will be a load of new cases hitting the configurator fairly soon, they've pulled quite a few, they need to replace them.

Could be. I was messing about today with the 980 m.2 samsung memory. It let's me select it on my order on my account. However if I try to do it as a brand new order it won't let me. This is also the same for some of the power supplies

I'll proceed with the 680x then.. (y) Reading the link you posted am I right in presuming it has four RGB fans, three front, one rear.
Couple that with the two from the H115i platinum on the roof and theres only space for additional fans on the floor?
Adding fans seems to suggest they will ONLY install them to the rear/roof though.

If you proceed with the order see if the item has a orange dot or green.

Orange will mean its out of stock i think.

No it comes with 3 rgb one normal one.
You are correct you can mount two to the floor of chassis.

3 front RGB, one rear normal fan.

You won't need any more fans. In a decent case, overdoing fans will actually create negative airflow which you don't want.

Quite happy with this new selection, thanks guys!

Was I right about orange dots meaning out of stock?

They mean out of stock OR low stock levels e.g. they have it in stock but orders already reserved them.
Both are due to come into stock over the next week and my build will be pending stock of the RTX3080 which was a preorder anyway so I'm not really expecting this to come until next month at the earliest.
