Case recommendation-midtower?

[ricleo2]

Hello all. I sold my computer I just built, so I am putting together a new one. I am going to use two HD 6870's (10 inches long) and a tall heatsink (120(W) x 50(H) x 159(D)mm ). Also will have 4 raptor hd's and one ssd. Could yall recommend a midtower that will fit this hardware? Thanks.

Full tower might be easier to build out of with 4 HDD's and two GPU's, but keep in mind, they get really pricey ($120+). I don't know many people who use full towers, but the HAF932 has always been a good choice. The Silverstone RV02 is pricey, but also nice, as is the 800/700D from Corsair.

If you want a mid tower, I'd suggest something really easy to build out of like the CM 690II. Of all the builds I've put together, that's been one of the easier ones to work with. The PC-K62 from Lian-Li wasn't too bad either. I would avoid the Antec 900 as space can get really cramped with all that hardware you listed. All in all, you should really pick what you think looks best.

Just ordered the CM 690II. Thought carefully over this because of an ongoing customer service issue I have with CM. But, it meets my needs. Found it 10 bucks cheaper than Newegg at Amazon because of free shipping. Surprised at that. Thanks all for the suggestions.

No surprise there. Newegg's regular pricing on cases and PSUs are not the best.
