facepalm.

No problem. I am quite a nut for cases and oddly have spent more time researching cases than any other component. <--- what a n00bie move hahaha. What are some of the requirements you need in a case and what kind of aesthetics do you like(any examples)? Maybe I can come up with some decent suggestions. Do you really need a mammoth like the 900d? All that storage and all that space..... just seems overkill to me unless you are going to do MAJOR water cooling and quadfire or tri sli.

You are definitely too picky! I'm not sure why it needs to be aluminum or can't have much plastic. If it doesn't have plastic it is likely brushed aluminum which your fingerprints will etch into the case. Nothing worse than that imo. Since you are confident in modding pick whichever case you like the aesthetics most and roll with it. Fine tune and customize to your needs! I guess my tastes may be rather cheap in your eyes but I switch my case quite often. IN the past 2 years I have went Corsair Obsidian 650d > Fractal Design Define Mini > Bitfenix Shinobi Window > NZXT Switch 810 > Corsair Carbide 200r. All of them I have been more than happy with I am just upgrade happy and a nut for aesthetics. Honestly I'm lovin the 200r. It was so inexpensive, it's light and small and has some decent features for the price. Also very modder friendly.

I'm not sure why this is even a question. They are not at the same price point and obviously the dual 760's will win.

I sell on kijiji and hardwarecanucks buy/sell/trade forum. I prefer to sell online because I don't like shady random people on kijiji coming to my house. craigslist killer no thank you!

That is all.

If you are looking for a cube style case I would highly recommend the Corsair Carbide Air 540. XB is hideous and as mentioned above it is a terrible idea to put your "PC on your desk without it taking a lot of room".

I think the fractal arc midi would be the best/smallest case for watercooling. The offset mounting for the top radiator makes all the worlds difference and helps the case not need to be quite so tall. That being said it's hard to have excellent water cooling support and have a case still be small but with some creative modding almost anything can be accomplished.

Oh man I got a good laugh from that. It's hard to take one such as yourself seriously after making a comment like that.

Buy whichever brand offers the best support for your region or is closest to you in the event you need to RMA.

I would definitely buy it again. The controller seems completely fine to me and have no problems whatsoever. I play online games and never have a problem. TBH I have never noticed a difference in the controller of any of my motherboards though. :P

I have the z77 mpower and I can attest to it's greatness! :D Excellent overclocking and rock solid, haven't had a problem. Of course there is always the risk of getting a lemon but that shouldn't be a problem since they do a prime95 stability test with every single motherboard.

STARCRAFTUUUUUU TWUUUUUUU! I don't know how many hours but over 10k games played...... and I still suck. :P

YEs that is real but all 760's won't look like that. That is just the EVGA lineup. MSI 760 was pictured as well and looks the same as the 770 gamer edition.

Cougar CHALLENGER, has no challenger for this contest. Easily the ugliest case I have ever seen. Even worse than all the apevia and chieftec crap.
