 Which one is the better alternative? Will have two GPU´s in SLI. If you have better options - link (needs to be somewhat aestetically pleasing...) 

 

Ty for answers!

I'll take a look at them and then reply in a little bit comparing the two. Were you talking about the micro atx version of the FT03?

I'd say if you got the money go with the silverstone FT03 but the case does lack the airflow compared to the carbide air 240

Aye, the matx version, not the mitx. Yeah, and I also like the smaller footprint. The question is if the airflow restrictions in the ft03 is too much for a sli build...
