Ok so im finally upgrading my rig after 5+ years and im having issues finding a ^Good Looking Tempered Glass Side Panel Case^ where my gpu can fit, (It is a zotac GTX1080 AMP! Extreme) i was initially going with fractals design Mechify C because i fell in love with that case design, however my gpu doesnt fit in there, then i was going for the Define R6 wich is out of stock everywhere they send to mexico, so any recomendations besides the Phanteks enthoo evolv? <this case is a bit expensive thats why im looking for more options.

By me mentioning those 3 cases should give you an idea of how i like cases to look, OH ALSO, i was also checking the 570x from corsair but the front fans are RGB wich look nice xcept when you dont want them on (putting some music when i sleep is an example where those fans suck) if i could turn the rgb off from them i could consider but ive since did some research and the RGB can not be turned off. (other than unplugging them i guess)
 
Solution
So the graphics card is a 3 slot high, 325mm long card and you are looking for a glass side panel case with relatively good airflow. How about these:
Enermax Equilence
In Win 101C
Lian Li Alpha 330X
Riotoro CR500
Thermaltake Core G21
SilverStone Primera PM02
You can use Fractal Design Mechify C with your GPU also (if you move front fan to upper or lower position).
Also Phanteks Eclipse P400 is a valid option.

yeah a user named urbancamper suggested this to me but wouldnt that make the card run like super hot? like not having any fan blowing on the card itself?

A full tower like what i want would be 2 expensive, and umm idk i gave you 4 cases wich designs appealed to me a lot idk of any other.
 
Why would it?
You move existing fan to lower position and add another one for upper position (leaving middle position empty, so graphics card can fit in there).
Airflow will not be an issue.

I shall give these ones a look in the morning as my internet is slowing down a lot at this time for some reason, in the meanwhile if some1 can tell me if the suggestion of moving a fan to fit my gpu on the mechify C is a good idea? like how many centrigrades more would it run by not having a fan hit it directly?
