Hey everyone! I'm upgrading my gaming rig but I'm stuck on finding the perfect computer case. It's going to sit in my living room, so I want something modern that avoids all the flashy RGB lighting. The case will be positioned between a TV stand and a cabinet, meaning the side is what I'll mainly see, especially the glass panels.
I'm also planning to upgrade to an RTX 5090 GPU next year and I'll need space for a Ryzen 9950X3D motherboard. I have three HDDs that need to fit in there as well, even if the case isn't officially compatible with them.
So far, the only case that caught my eye is the Antec Performance 1 M, but I'm worried it won't meet all my requirements. I'd love to get your recommendations, especially if you know of cases that have a setup where the RGB can be turned off for a more subtle look, much like my current Lian Li case. Any thoughts?

Have you checked out the Fractal North or the Fractal North XL? They have a nice wooden look which might match your living room vibe. They are a bit larger, but they offer great design and airflow.
The Fractal North XL does look sleek for sure! Just a heads up though, since you'll only be seeing the side, you might want to consider how much you like the front design, as that’s what stands out the most.
