I Need A huge PC Case!Bigger the Better!HELP!
Okay TPU ,I am so aggravatingly out of room in my case !The only reason I have not ordered my other HD4870X2 is because of my case being packed already! As it stands right now I have three of my four (Raid 0) harddrives in a cage in the 5.25 bays with my Blu-Ray player and one of the Harddrives is in the actual harddrive bays(This is the harddrive that is in the way of the Next HD4870X2)....
SO Now I want a Huge case ! It doesn't matter if its tower style or case(desktop) style....any design is worth a look ! I would prefer NOT to spend $200ish , but if the case is really worth it then maybe ...so please people some suggestions and recommendations is what I am looking for here..Links...to sales I can get here in the good ole USA Thank you in advance TPU as you all have never ever let me down! !Anything being sold here and brought to my attention is worth a look as well! Bigger is better for me in this case ... lol ...Ironic!

The antec 1200 is quite massive but I'm sure there are better cases out there. I am about to install a 4870X2 to bench so I will take pictures.

I have the same and i'm pretty happy with it. It's a bit difficult for cable managment tho. and if you planing to get some WC you have to put it on the top of the case(wierd!). otherwise it' big enough. 670mm tall. LOL

This one has everything I am looking for to and is awsome! Sorry this one has the 3.25 bays facing the mobo and in the end would frustrate me...It is nice though.

Interesting design and if it wasnt 35% shorter I would really consider it .
qoute from > http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...TCjCVqHCjCdwwp Shorter Body Depth Only 36cm in depth and 19cm (35%) shorter than the normal full tower case

I recommend the CoolerMaster 690, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...er+690&x=0&y=0. I have two 3870x2's in mine with no space issues so I know you are not going to have any since the 4870x2's is the same dimensions.

Having worked with the TT Armour and just getting a Coolermaster HAF 932 I have to say the HAF is wider and allows much more flexible cable management.
It's also pretty versatile, able to change out the side fan for 4x120... I changed out the top 240mm fan for a 2x120 radiator...only to find out a 3x120 would have fit. The biggest bitch i have with it so far is that with the hdd's sideways, 90-degree sata cables are a must Edit: TPU Review The other annoyance is the really bright power light...cut a square of electrical tape and put it over it (blue on/off light with all other case lights red )

I am deciding between these two.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811166005 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811160026 CHIEFTEC will probably win though.

If you can still find it, grab the Rocketfish case made by Lian Li. It's the case I use and its MASSIVE. My motherboard looks soooo small in it.
