A Case Question For You All

[Serrix]

Hello everyone, I have a question for my PC build; the case.

Would this case- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...D=ii8b515b5f38

hold these parts- http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=26543028

Without a problem?

Or should I stick to my original case- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811119197

No need for another thread about your build, you could simply have posted this question there.

Yes, that case would hold those parts. Rosewill Challenger is a budget case however. Your original choice HAF 922 is more in line with the 'class' of the rest of your build. And for $55, it's not as good as the discounted CM 690 II Advanced I posted in your other thread.

The 922 Should work, But not a big fan of losing all internal HDD's if the vid card is too long. This isn't even an option in the Rosewill. The 912 might actually work better for this. Almost 100% chance of having to remove the HDD bays but it has two where you can remove the middle one and has a seperate bay location for 2.5" SSD's.

You're absolutely right, GTX 680 may not fit in the Challenger (for that matter, 212+ may not fit either; I didn't remember this case was so small). However as GTX 680 is 10" long it will fit in a HAF 922, no problem.

I don't think it is that small perse, like a lot of people say, for the most part people only really need something the HAF 912 size. I say that as I just built up a HAF X system. The real problem is for a case it's size as a mid tower enthusiast case, they used a mounting system meant for cases 30% larger then it. Meaning that if you get hardware that fits well in the case, then its a pretty decent easy to use case, if you don't, then its too cramped, and it takes a lot more effort, time, and modding to get it to work.
