Need a big case!

[ShadeZeRO]

Hey All

I'm in a need of a new case. My Antec 1200 basically worn out now and decided to get something not so rice.

Looking for:
-Clean/sleek Case (Similar to Fractal Design Define XL or A71-F)
-Wire management (Similar to Corsair 800D)
-CPU Heatsink cutout (Simliar to 800D/XL)
-Must fit 9 HDDs (10 preferred).
-Going to install a Corsair H100 (Need space for 240mm RAD)
-Black preferred, but open to anything tasteful.

Suggestions? =)

800d with hard drives mounted in the CD bays? (anyone else remember when drives came with those rails?)

Would be nice to be able to put in another enclosed bay like this.

800D. That thing is a work of art. If you've never seen one in person, they're quite stunning, and have awesome cable management. So huge and roomy.

Some of these pictures make me want to order one right now, but, I have a soft spot for my Lanboy Air.

I have one and it has terrible air flow.

What are your load temps like? I haven't read much about their airflow. My CPU spends a lot of time at 100% usage, so I like a good CPU cooler coupled with a case that allows for plenty of ventilation.

10 internal drive bays, should be able to mount the h100 on top.

It fits most of your requirements. Might be worth waiting for if you like the styling.

I have a SR-2 in it. It is a monster case, and can fit a H100 in the top no problem. I have 2 H60's in the top of mine. Cable management it great in this case as well, just make sure that you have cable extenders as this case is huge.

I'm loving that case! Very clean, yet stylish. Tons of HDD bays, great wire managment. Too bad it isn't out yet =(

Any idea's on a release date?

Too much gamer/rice going on for me. I'm not into LEDs anymore. Sorry.

 

[Zargon]

ha its not mine, but I think all the LEDS are in fans, which is pretty easy to fix 😛

Case Labs M10. It's all the case you'll ever need. And then some.

 

[ShadeZeRO]

ZOMG, the m8 looks sick. Would be nice to run dual 360 rads... or even just 1.

800D is probably the best case I have ever owned... my only slight is that the plastic drive lock things break VERY easily as you can see

mine (older PSU, I have a AX1200 in there now):

I have 2 M10s. Best water cooling cases, ever.

 

[Lightflash]

I love my TH10. But that is normally overkill for most people.

I was looking at the T10 myself. Would be nice to get some Dual LGA2011 love going on in there.

Right now it has my SR-2 sitting in it and it looks small inside the case 😱. It gives me the room to upgrade from just watercooling my 2 cpus to watercooling my tri-SLI/tri-fire setup and a new dual S2011 board (basically a planned system for late 2011/early 2012 and will use basically every space available, but might have to go to the TX10 if I need more room 😵)
