fractal design arc midi r2

 

open front for air flow advantages, large enough to support dual graphics, future

options for cooling, compact foot-print for small desk real estate.

Oh, I read mATX when making recommendations earlier but yes. Arc Midi R2 it is then :)

The arc midi R2 is a failsafe option that can't go wrong, especially considering it's features for it's price. The NZXT S340 looks good, but I don't think it will be as good in the airflow department as others. If you don't mind a gamery look, then the RV05 is brilliant in the cooling department, is fairly compact and has a slim 5.25" bay incase you really want to use one. And if you aren't sure on the looks of that one, there will be an FT05 as well.

I need compact case that supports atx motherboards, has great airflow, and will support 2 open style cooled GPUs in sli.

I don't use 5.25 bay and can leave without 3.5 drives.

The most important thing is airflow, compactness, and look.

It pains me to say that I don't know. If it had been out when I got the raven, I'd have chosen that instead, but they keep postponing it. I assume due to either lack of demand or difficulties with production but I can't see that happening with either option.
