900D or 750D?

HaydenMadeEm

I'm going to upgrade from my alienware m17x r3 (probably should never have bought) to a desktop. I want to do a custom water cooled loop. I plan to house a gtx 780 TI, 4930k, asus rampage IV black edition in the thing. I do plan on upgrading parts and possibly adding more graphics cards in the future. My problem is that I'm going to college next year (for Digital Media Production, in other words, heavy video editing schtuff) and I'm worried that if I get the 900D I won't be able to transport it or that it would just take up too much space in the dorm. Any one that has a 900D and has transported it, can you tell me if it was easy, or hard? Same with anyone that has a 750D?

If you are going to be transporting it only once it shouldn't be too much of a problem. Just keep the original box and all the packing foam. If you will be moving it more than once a year you should probably get the smaller 750D. If you are moving it more than once a month get a 450D

the 750d is a good case, but if your going to college I would suggest getting like a 350D for a small size and you can still fully watercool. The 900d is pointless if you are using one GPU, then it looks really empty. 

 

You can also consider a 450D, the perfect sizecase.

It will only be moved 2, 3 at the most times a year. The only reason I'm considering these two is because I will be adding more expansion cards in the future.

Might not be. If he does get the Black edt it'll need 8 slots not seven.

Might as well get either the 4 gene or jump onto Z97 or Z87.

If I were you I wouldn't have posted a thread regarding the case but the entire system I think maybe @_ASSASSIN_ would agree with me. 900D or 750D is not quite the thought out case you can think of.

I love my 750D it has ecxellent build quality and a very clean look, i think you will be fine with it, 900D weights almost a tone

Fine but like I wrote you should've wrote in the upcoming build guide not in this section. Go X79 but you didn't read my post correctly. 4 Gene is X79/lga 2011 compatible.

Sorry, I'm a newbie :D I would've written it there, but I thought that since my original question was just about 900D or 750D I thought it would've been better to write it here

Dude I would reconsider because you're going to eventually go to the http://linustechtips.com/main/forum/18-new-builds-and-planning/ section to open up another thread.

as you should probably know the 750D and 900D will fit this matx motherboard however you'll be overspending on a case that cost the exact same as the motherboard itself.

You'll be wasting 6 extra slot on nothing but thin air money wasted.

 

I will forget mentioning all that stuff and welcome you to the LTT Forum, enjoy posting threads talking to admins & mods.
