Guys

 

I want to change my case which is at the mo is a Carbide 400R, its  to bloody big and i want to downsize but leave some room for expansion.

 

It needs to be ATX compatible and accommodate a EVGA 780 SC ACX card which will soon be replaced with a EVGA 980ti ACX i have no intention to use SLi

 

My cooler (Aska Venom  Voodo) is a bit large and i want to use it as its excelent

 

I am using a Corsar 760i PSU

 

2 x seagate 1TBHDD

 

1 x Intel 730SSD

 

I dont need any colour lighting shit

 

cheers

googled it, looked kind like a kind of "normal" sized case also if you didnt live in the UK i would have traded you my case, a Zalman GT1000 its nice but its not aveilable anymore :/ also it weighs 12.5KG... well i dont know what to recoment , it looks like you have only slightly more then the required vertical hight but silghtly more then the absolute minimum in length, and width seemed to be also about "normal" so i dont think your getting much smaller then that if your not going with a box case so i have no idea, maby mount it on the wall or something then youll have all the room you want for that cooler

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)
