Hello.

I just need some suggestions on a good case to get where i wont be restricted by room. It doesnt have to be massive though.

This is what i will need to fit.


asus a8n32 sli
2x bfg 7800gtx
cpu w/ large zalman heatsink/fan if desired
2x 74gb raptors,
at least 2 optical drives
xfi platinum sound card

EDIT: As i wont be watercooling, it would be nice to have room to hide/ziptie cables and enough room for a decent airflow. I would also like to have a see-through side door. Thanks!

Thanks for any suggestions! It doesnt have to be flashy or anything.

There is a Cases & Cooling section here... Move it where it belongs and I might reply.

That wasn't rude. This question does belong in C&C. And they would have torn you apart in OT most likely for doing something like that. Returning remarks like that just starts flame wars and other unnecessary stuff like that. If you do have a problem with someone that is being rude, just PM them, and ask them WTF? Clear it up there. Just my thoughts. Good luck on finding a case.

You don't have a lot of posts, so people were trying to help you out. And no one ripped you a new one. And if there were a million other topics with the exact same subject, why did you post another one instead of searching and reading? :confused: Nonetheless, I'm not posting about this anymore, cause I hate getting in these pissing contests. Everyone was just trying to help out. Take it as you will.

The Aerocool Masstige has lots O' room and isn't too expensive either. And I like my Silverstone Berserker - review here: http://www.techimo.com/reviews/ - find places to buy and prices with Froogle, etc .
. Plus the obligatory nod to the Kingwin 424 series - very sturdy and elegant for the money - best selection and prices on the 424 have been at ZZF lately. Easy to open out the fan openings for more cooling if needed.

Looking for something $250 and under.

EDIT: My only real concern for the case..

1) Having enough room for components and expansion slots. I need to fit at least 3 HD's.

2) Having enough room for decent airflow since i will not be watercooling.

Lian Li PC-7B Plus, Mid-tower, black. Can be had in silver.

Mke sure that you get the one with 2-120mm fans. Take a look at SVC.com.



...Galvanized

Edit: How could i ever forget the P-180! Weight MT equals most cases full or more, the PSU wiring can be tough to run neatly w/o using resistance building extensions and the door is hinged with fragile plastic. Aside from that, the best case ever offered bar-non. Anything else is a junk, so say the fanboys :D

Antec p180 period.The best cooling in any computer case i have ever seen so far and it is ridiculously quiet, heck the only thing i can hear is the fan on my 7800GT.
also, PLENTY of room, you could probably fit in 4 hard drives in there if u wanted too
