Posted May 17, 2015 Ok im going to ask a question of the forum. I need to make a decision on a case for my rig 3 things to consider: 1: I have ordered a MITX motherboard, so bare in mind it has to be reasonably small 2: I currently have a 3 slot GPU which is 310mm long so I have to have an MATX case, but still want it reasonably compact (no full towers please) 3:I dont want to spend over $200 NZ dollars max really Any help would be appreciated Cheers Project Devils Delight Mobo:ASUS B85 PRO Gamer CPU: Intel Core i5 4670k RAM: 8GB Kingston HYPERX Beast 1600Mhz GPU PowerColor Devils 13 Dual Core 290X Case: Corsair Air 540 strips Storage: Samsung 256GB SSD and a 1TB WD Black (2013 Model) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 20, 2015 Yeah, tj08-e should work, I'm not up on the PS series so I don't know the case. I have the entire fortress and tj series memorised The PS07 is basically the TJ08-E but with a rather stylish front and plastic door, plus two 120mm fans instead of the single 180mm fan in the TJ08-E.
