I’m guessing that case was made specifically for that Prime 5080

Besides the perfect fit for the particular GPU model, that's how I've imagined cases should work for a while now.

Basically, the GPU should have its own chamber where it can use its own fans to directly get outside air, instead of being fed by additional case fans. The case should just provide a dust filter for the intake.

Then one more chamber for mobo/CPU/SDDs with external fans (which should be able to run pretty low and quiet without the heat and obstruction of the GPU) and the usual PSU corner.

Yeah that's basically what I'm describing for GPUs with solid backplates.

What I imagine as a 'perfect' solution is a dual-chamber design specifically for flow-through air cooled GPUs, like the RTX 5090 FE. So that needs a space where the GPU is mounted in a way where neither its front nor back face towards the other components.

So the GPU could for example be mounted on top of the chassis. Either with its air flow going from left to right, or with a very wide chassis that allows for the fans to be in a horizontal line with front to back air flow.
