Help :( I need a bigger case

[HexerPsy]

Hi :D

 

I am planning a GPU upgrade later this year (RTX 3000 series). I game, and do amateur blender stills / animations as a hobby.

This year I want to buy a RTX 3080 (Ti) and a RTX 3060, probably - and currently my GTX 1080 Ti and RTX 2060 will need a new place in the house. The RTX 2060 can still be useful as additional render GPU, so I am trying hard to build in a 3rd GPU... but I am having trouble there...

For some own reasons, I have decided to get a pcie riser board, turning 1x to 4 pcie slots, of which I am using 1 for even more storage and 1 for the GPU. I have a separate PSU to power the board and 3rd GPU.

 

But this no longer fits into a normal full tower build...

 

I missed the boat on gaming pc + streamer ITX dual systems, since most of those cases are discontinued and the market is moving elsewhere.

 

How i wish i could get my hands on a half stacker, caselabs case, or thermaltake core v9...

 

Do you guys have any ideas for any reasonable cases that could work? If its 400-500eu for a case... at that point, getting a mobo with a different pcie slots lay out would be a cheaper option.

System specs:
full sized ATX mobo
2 GPUs (atm, stuffed size by size in the bottom of the case)
14x17cm pcie riser board; 3rd GPU attached (cant fit it yet...)

2x ATX PSUs
plenty of drive space

 

Should i accept there s too much in the case and cut down?
