So basically the story lies in this. I had my box, upgraded two item, Proc heatsink/fan and videocard. Im have two Lian-Li cases, an old version of the PC-7A, back when it used to have 2x80mm fans instead of a 120mm in the front. I also have a PC-V1100, an older version of that as well.
Anyway my two upgrades are an 8800gts by eVGA and a Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme Heatsink with a Scythe fan. My problem is this I dont feel comfortable using my PC-7A case due to how crammed packed it is and how sucky the airflow through the box is. I mean my new heatsink/fan is gigantic and the fan will move more air through the case than the case fan will. I cannot use my PC-V1100 case because ... the new heatsink wont fit. The motherboard mounts right against a wall inside the case due to its inverted design and the new heatsink hangs over the edge of the motherboard.
So Im in the market for a new case and am heavily looking at the Cooler Master Stacker, and the Cooler Master Cosmos. My problem is that I dont want to order either without knowing if my new setup will fit in either box. I assume it will, but I was hoping someone could help me know for sure if it will or not. I appreciate any help anyone can provide, also i you need anything from me to help me figure this out, please let me know.
