Hey guys,

I am looking for a good case (not too expensive ~100-150). I already have a Corsair H110 which I want to use with that so I'm looking for an appropriate case that wont gouge me for price. I was looking at the CoolerMaster HAF XB and the Fractal Design XL R2. I would keep the CoolerMaster HAF XB in a test bench setup - basically anything thats compatible with H110 without doing any mods unless its really easy (I have a drill but not too good with it). The problem is if I go with the HAF XB then I wont have the option of getting the Rampage IV Extreme (EATX mobo) and I will end up going with the Rampage IV Formula which I hear is still quite ok. I am going to shoot for around 4.2-4.4 Ghz with the hexacore (whatever keeps the temps low) and I am running a GTX 780 SLI setup

Get the fractal, it's an all-around better case. Looks, silence, room, and a fairly low price tag for the quality you get.

corsair 600T. old case(ish) but by far my favorite i ever owned!

or you could go with the crappy nzxt switch 810 or any of nzxt's newer cases which all could accomadate that motherboard. I got the s810 when it came out (first nzxt case) and wasnt to pleased by the quality. Personal opinion i guess!
