It seems my Nzxt Tempest is getting a little cramped with everything I got bolted onto my rig. Especially since I want to switch to a water cooling setup and I see a HD5970 or something of the size heading my way soon.
I need advice about recommended Full Tower cases. The problem is I am a little picky on looks (Even before the lofty expectations I have of the whole thing). A black interior is almost a must, since I run my system with the left panel removed (I always tinker with my comp, and my Tempest is starting to annoy me with the way it looks - It stands on the table to the right of my monitor).
I would also like on the order or six 120mm or 140mm fan mounts (On par with my Tempest for air movement until I switch to water cooling) and the ability to mount a pair of dual rads (or a dual rad and a triple rad, but I am probably pushing it here). A hole to access the backplate of the CPU cooler is an absolute must, as well (My Tempest is driving me nuts here with my Mugen 2) as is the ability to fit huge video cards (HD5970 with room to spare is something I'd like. Fitting the HD5970 is a minimum).
Anyone with any ideas ? I have no real idea how to define a price range, since prices here locally are quite a mark-up over, say, the USA. But I think I can afford something that costs 200-225$ in the USA.
Thanks !
EDIT: LOL. Great. I just noticed there's a nearly identically named thread looking for a mATX case. Opps !
