I have upgraded my home pc a tiny bit but am slowly coming to accept the fact that I need to upgrade my case as well.

My two biggest things though is that I am not much into the whole rgb thing (makes me feel like my pc is a Kpop Demon hunter extra, find it distracting).

I have two monitors on it and due to the tiny table I am using, the one sits on the case which in turn stands on two side tables.
The table and side tables are sentimental, my grandfather built the side tables and I built the main table for my daughter, then it went to my son, now it is back to me.

Excuse the cable management, or lack thereof, it is a physical representation of my indecisiveness.

Anyway, any suggestions for a solid top no glass case that is relatively wide/deep?

I am actually at the point where I feel like just building a case.

I have had this case for 14 or so years and most of it's contents are between 2 days to 6 weeks old.

In case it is important:

MB: MSI PRO B840-P WIFI AMD Ryzen
CPU: AMD RYZEN 7 8700F PRO
SSD: Western Digital 500GB WD Blue SN5100 NVMe Internal Solid State Drive / M.2 2280
GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 5070 12GB Shadow 2X OC
RAM: KLEVV CRAS V RGB 32GB 6400MHz Gaming
Psu: DeepCool PN750M 750W 80+ Gold ATX3.1 Modular PSU
Primary monitor: AOC Q27G4/D/73 200Hz on Displayport 1.4 cable

Secondary Monitor: AOC 24b3x 23.8" 1080p 144Hz on HDMI

Yea seems the solution is to just get a case with glass and tint it.
 
Pretty much all hardware come with options to turn off RGB, you just need to install their relevant software/drivers as needed.
 
I also hate RGB. Previous pc I build had this big glass side case. I kept everything black, including black fans without rgb/lights.
Then I just put one discreet white LED strip in it. You cant see the strip just the light. I like it as I can always see if my fans are spinning and also if its getting a bit dusty inside.
 
Just disable the RGB? The case brand that I recommend. 1) Montech, 2) Antec, 3) Deepcool, 4) Lian Li, and 5) Phanteks.

Cases are also growing on the more expensive side. The question is more how much you are willing to budget?
