So the Zotac RTX 4080 Trinity OC is too wide to properly fit in my Phantek P400A thanks to that giant power adapter.
I can’t even use one of those 90 degree cable mods because the fan shroud sticks out.
Can someone reccomend me a suitably wide case.

FYI, my PC theme is “Things that were on Sale”
I love that theme.
Cable Mod has several different adapters that would redirect the cable up rather than down that might work for you if you weren’t wanting a new case anyway.
Maybe that 180 degree variant B will work, but then my power cables will be sitting on the hot backplate, I think I’ll get that and the 90 degree B variant 3d printed and see how it might fit. Thanks.
Cool. Make sure not to get it printed in PLA. Even the heat from my Raspberry Pi Model 4 managed to warp the PLA case I made for it.
Okay sure, it’s just for fit testing I don’t think they’re functional.
Oh ok that makes sense.
Space heater feeling kinda sad there now the upgraded one arrived xD
In my recent build I went with the Corsair 5000D Airflow. Love this case. Plenty of room and has a decent footprint. Easy organization, practical I/O on top of the case, and premium build quality. Only thing I wish I could change was if it could accommodate three 140 mm fans for intake, so I had to settle for three 120 mm instead.
The goal of this case was having it for many years to accommodate any video card. I’ve been very happy with it. You might be able to use a 4000D to fit that card (I haven’t looked at specs to verify it), and it has a smaller footprint than the 5000D.
Edit: In case you’re looking for sales, I think I was able to get my case somewhere between $100-$120. It’s a bit pricey, but if you’re using it for 10 years it’s well worth the cost. The function is excellent and the design will age very well.
