Gaming Case Suggestion?

[Necrosaro420]

Anyone have any good ideas on a good case to get? Im sure it will get hot, as its going to be for gaming, so alot of high end cards in it etc. Probably not going to do water cooling. Thanks!

I sort of like the new B2 by InWin - not too ricey. And, knock me over with a feather, there is no PSU included. Still kind of old-school and pricey as you can get what's in the B2 for a lot less money in the Rosewill R5600 series. If those aren't in your ballpark, then you'll have to give us more info to go on.

Cooler Master Centurion 590. Huge mofo of a case and very heavy once you load it all up. And it's good quality for a case that costs less than $70 out the door if you can find it locally.

This case also can mount something like 8 120mm fans and 1 80mm fan if you find the need for uber air cooling

I like my Cooler Master 690. It looks nice, is fairly cheap, has room for 7 fans + back CPU tray fan (comes with 3 x 120mm), can do SLI and water cooling, and is also a tool-less step (no tools required). I also thought the HD rack was a pretty neat setup - the plastic HD trays reduce vibration. Actually, I love the case overall There is only a slight issue with grounding on the top ports (solution found here).

Yep...in fact, it can handle four 140mm fans on the top and side panel. A 120mm in the back and three 120mm in the front. The 80mm fan has to be a slim profile one and from what I remember, that's hard to find.

In practice, I doubt many people will actually mount three 120mm fans in the front. I can only use one fan because I actually need 6 bays for devices. The vast majority of people need at least an optical drive, so they might be able to mount two fans in the front.
