Case Suggestions

[tehee]

Hey guys,

 

Im going off to university this year and want to change cases. I currently have a 600T with an ATX motherboard and want to downsize the system because my dorm is not very big. 

 

What im looking for:

 

I would prefer to keep the ATX motherboard because I have the 2600K and its hard to find m-itx or m-atx cases with the 1155 socket. (Not mandatory but would be nice not having to buy another cpu/mobo)

Fits a 780ti acx (Mandatory)

Window side panel (Not mandatory, would be nice)

Fits an H100 (Not mandatory, would be nice)

Considerable down size from the 600T (Mandatory)

 

Do you guys have any suggestions?

Define R4? I think that fits most of your needs.

Corsair 450D, it does everything you need, albeit a little larger than a Define R4, which would also be a good choice (I can't confirm this, but from my experience it feels larger.)

will be smaller and maybe a little bigger , Corsair Air540, amazing case to build in.

Oh yes I agree. Gotta love the R4.

If you are ok with mini-ITX i love the EVGA Hadron Air because of it's looks, but some of your components might not fit in it. It is only 1 foot by 1 ft by .5 ft.

You could upgrade to Haswell, but it would cost $500 with a 4770k, Corsair 250d, and Gigabyte z97n wifi...

I really like the hadron but i dont know if the performance upgrade and downsize is worth $500...

 

what do you guys think?

I'm not sure if that is actually smaller than the 600T...

The Evolv is an matx case.

Probably the Air 540 from what I have seen it is great and I will probably get the Air 240 once it comes out in.
