Tough Customer needs a case

Go to solution Solved by slightlyjaded,

As an alternate I'm hearing good things about the phanteks enthoo pro. It'd be able to house this, I'd check on fan mounting however, looks like it has far less room.

I have a customer who wants these parts for a custom build and I'm having trouble finding good cases for the build. It needs to fit these parts and have filtered intake and not be a cube design. He also wants to use the NZXT HUE, so we're talking a minimum of 3 5.25in bays, thanks you to everyone who helps me out on this one.

DON'T get an OEM copy of windows, you can only bind that to ONE motherboard, and it can not be removed or reassigned to a different system.

Guessing this is not a work PC (the RGB lighting sort of gives it away) cosmos (coolermaster) or the obsidian 900D (corsair) are probably the obvious choices if they don't mind it being freaking massive.

 

Just wondering, Is the deluxe compatible with 4 way crossfire?

My vote goes with the 900D as well. Love the clean aesthetics on the Obsidian series.

he tells me it's going to do double duty as a work machine but it's really not... like not at all. The other thing I'm concerned about is routing the tubing and the rads for both of the 295x2's and the H110i

lol, 900D then. Mine's got room for 14 fans. (they advertise more but the PSU blocks at least 2 fan mounts.)

 

Word of warning though it's massive about 25 cm x 60 cm x 60cm. He's going to need a lot of space to house it.
