Title says it all, looking for a case compatible with EATX motherboards.

 

Looking for a big cpu cutout as possible, not to big of a deal if that can't be had. I have a dremel for a reason :)

Doesn't need a window, no budget ceiling.

 

And suggestions?

No corsair please, I don't want to downgrade in quality  :wacko:

 

Edit: Midtowers preferred

 

Editedit: I'd have gotten the Define R5, but it has no E-ATX support. That was really disappointing.

Specs: 4790k | Asus Z-97 Pro Wifi | MX100 512GB SSD | NZXT H440 Plastidipped Black | Dark Rock 3 CPU Cooler | MSI 290x Lightning | EVGA 850 G2 | 3x Noctua Industrial NF-F12's

Bought a powermac G5, expect a mod log sometime in 2015

Corsair is overrated, and Anime is ruined by the people who watch it

Hmmm, i like what i see. Thanks for the suggestion, It's very cheap too.

 

caselabs tx10 -d. Or if thats extreme for your needs, go with the fractal design arc xl also why dont you like corsiar? Corsiar has some verry good products. I build pcs for a lving and i can say that there deffinatly great. 

caselabs tx10-d: http://www.caselabs-store.com/magnum-tx10-d/

caselabs tx10-v: http://www.caselabs-store.com/magnum-tx10-v/

fractal design arc XL: http://www.amazon.com/Fractal-Design-Airflow-Tower-FD-CA-ARC-XL-BL-W/dp/B00ET0OFQC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1416864743&sr=8-1&keywords=fractal+design+arc+xl

Caselabs would be pretty overkill, no kidding :P

 

And i don't like corsair because i personally find them quite cheap.

 

But anywho, i'll add the arc XL to the list. Thanks for the suggestion

The only ATX Mid Tower case supporting EATX I would suggest is the Fractal Design Core 3500.

Very cheap and minimalistic case:

EDIT: did find another one, the Cooler Master HAF XM, is a little bit bigger. There is a current -30$ promo on Newegg, so get it while it lasts!

Would agree, most of them are from Corsair.
