I am upgrading an old system that is currently using a huge Dragon Slayer case and want to do away with it on this upgrade.
I upgraded my newer system with the Cooler Master H500, which comes with two front 200mm fans in front and one 120mm fan in the back. I added another 200mm to the top. The airflow in this case in excellent.
 
Can anyone recommend a similar case that comes without fans? I have two industrial Noctua 140mm as well as a couple Noctua 120. I would like to save a little with a case that has no fans and just use the fans I have.
 
Input appreciated.

    I just ordered the Lian Li O11D. Gonna move my build into it this weekend. But it has fan mounting options galore; looks like most of them are 120 fan only though.

    Although the article is a bit outdated (from 2019), GamerNexus reviewed and rated a large number of cases on thermal/noise performance and manufacturing quality, including both CPU and GPU thermal benchmarks. I'm not sure how accurate their methodology is, especially in terms of standardizing the number of fans and placement across cases, but still an interesting read.

    I ended up going with a Lian Li O11D XL for my in-progress build.
