> it appears I can only get aquariums instead of a proper PC tower like in the good old days. https://www.fractal-design.com/products/cases/define/define-7/bla

  That case is okay, but a solid front that limits airflow is still a bit tilted a bit away from proper in my mind. I like this case for the huge fan and having a bunch of drive bays: https://www.phanteks.store/collections/enthoo-series/products/phanteks-enthoo-pro?variant=31733951529015 https://www.phanteks.store/collections/enthoo-series/product...

    They also make several alternative options, such as https://www.fractal-design.com/products/cases/meshify/meshify-2/black-solid/ https://www.fractal-design.com/products/cases/meshify/meshif... or https://www.fractal-design.com/products/cases/torrent/torrent/black-solid/ https://www.fractal-design.com/products/cases/torrent/torren... for high airflow applications. Build quality of these is excellent, and they’re still reasonably unobtrusive solid black towers. I have a Meshify 2 for my main desktop with a 5800X and a 3090 for airflow, and a Define 7 for my home server with 10x HDDs, for quietness’s sake. The frustrating part now is opaque sided cases are lower volume parts, and usually more expensive as a result :/

  Some retailers on my European corners, nice.
