So here's the deal.. I need case recommendations..

The specifics are:

Must hold full size PSU (160mm plus modular cables)

Must hold a 11,6 (12inch) graphics card in the first slot. It's 4870x2 w. AC 4870x2 extreme cooler..

Will be mounted with a mATX mobo with a low profile cooler.

Must hold at least 2*3,5 hdds, 1*5,25 drive and some sort of solution for 2*2,5 SSD's availiable.. This last one perhaps with some extra equipment, but the space must be there.. I've found a solution that requires a spare 3,5 bay.

Must be no more than 370mm in height.

The only one I have found so far fitting it all is a Silverstone SG02 with the hdd fan removed, and I've been scouring the Internets for more suggestions, but have come up short.. Ideas please?

I don't know if it'll fit your dimension requirements, but I'd recommend the NZXT Rogue.

It's BIG and HEAVY for a SFF case, but it has way more room than everything else out there. It fits a full-sized ATX PSU (some long 1000W+ units might be a tight fit), a 120mm tower CPU cooler (I've seen a TRUE mounted in one), FIVE 120mm fans, two 5.25" drives, and up to five 3.5" drives. It also has a removable motherboard tray (can't remove it with a taller heatsink mounted, though), brushed aluminum finish, and it even comes with a carrying strap. If height is the main reason you're going SFF, I'd definitely look into it. If you're looking for something that's very small and light so you can lug it from place to place constantly, I'd look into something more... plasticy.

Cooler Master Elite 341

It is 365mm tall and can take your graphics card. It can take 3x HDD, 1x FDD and 2x opticals (no special SSD spots but few cases will have those outside SFF). It can take a full-sized PSU. It can take any CPU cooler except for the tall 120mm tower heatpipe units.

I had checked out the Rogue, and it looks very nice. But according to the homepage it only fits up to 10,5 inch graphics..

I'll check out the Coolermaster one, thanks

The SG03 meets most of the criteria but it lacks your HD criteria I believe.
