So i was looking into upgrading my full system and i need to know a couple things.
First i was looking into getting the Antec lanboy air (blue version or red if newegg gets new stock in) does anyone have this case or experience with this case i personally dont want to go into it super blind cause it went that way with my nzxt m59 case which i love but there are definitely some things i really dont like about it!!
second im also looking at getting this psu and mobo for the upgrade do you think the mobo will fit in the case well and will the psu do what i need it to? im gonna try and run the full 15 fans with an antec khùler h2060 psu cooler

The upgrades will fit in there for sure but I would go for a different case. I just think that the lanboy with 15 fans will sound like a jet engine and will need constant cleaning. Just my opinion but I think that the max fans is kind of a gimmick. It looks to me that you will just get lots of air in there and not a good front to back airflow that will quickly get heat out of the case. Maybe I am wrong.

IMO I would look at something like this.

2 200mm fans that promote a good front to back flow as well as the spot for mounting your cooler. There are also spots for 4 additional 120s to be used in the side panel. one should do the job just fine but that is up to you.

Just my thoughts.

well i like the customizability of the lanboy and its marketed to be a case that you virtually never have to clean because the fans are all supposed to be intake fans which creates static pressure inside the case which will expell hot air constantly from every open nook and cranny in the case which is why its all mesh and that constant airflow makes it super hard for dust to settle and i intend to use fan controllers so its not super loud and noise reduction mountings as well! im jsut trying to figure out the over all dependability of the case and if its shoddy or is it a pain to manage in cases of the actual modular pieces.

Fair. Just wanted to tell what I was seeing.

It looks like it is a well constructed case. having it so modular does bring up the opportunity to have the movable parts break. In general that only happens if you are changing it a lot. Probably not a huge deal. The cable management does not look amazing but I can see a few places that you can tie cables back.

i agree with the fact that by increasing the number of times you customize it it is more likely to break. the main reasons i like this case so much are the air suspension hdd mounts and the multi-directional drives bays because i like my case to sit perpendicular to my eyesight and that way it is easier for me to monitor my mobo leds and be able to access the side panel easily.

The new case(Antec lanboy air) you are thinking about is not bad, but it would get real dusty if i had it,it does have alot of options and it should for that price. Make sure you spend time looking at a bunch of diffrent cases.

I actually like your old case(nzxt m59) much better.

well im looking to try and find a bigger case preferably with handles and the lanboy fits the bill. and since cosmetics dont really concern me i was going to order a b-stock version from antecs website. it runs for only 77 us.
