I was actually going to suggest the Arc Midi R2. I really like that case.

Posted

I'm building another machine for myself with a haswell CPU and a GTX780(maybe a titan, but theyre the same size so w/e)

 

 

i need help deciding on a case.

 

im gonna watercool it so i'd like it to be watercooling friendly.

 

im looking at the arc midi r2 right now but are there any other good options for around 100 USD?

 

im gonna use a z87 sabertooth board
