Recommend Me a Case

MadManMarsBar

Hi guys 

 

so i currently use a Zalman Z11 , its a good case but i need something physically bigger and with good cooling potential , i am currently running an 8350 , hyper 212 , gtx660 , 8gb corsair xms3

 

i will need a case that can hold a h100 and 2 gtx680's in SLi ( next upgrade ) also the gtx680's that im looking at are 12 inches long O_o , the z11 can only handle 11 :L 

 

im in the uk and i have a budget of £100

 

thanks in advance

Have a look at the Fractal Design Arc midi R2. it has space for a h100 in the top and good airflow.

I'd go for a 300R Windowed or a Define R4 Windowed.

a little bias because i like this case but a corsair 540 i like it because you can hide all your cables away and you can fit a 28mm rad in the top and if you wan to use a 360mm rad like a H320 (i think that is what it is called) you can fit it in the front of the case if the tubes can reach

This is a great case, it is mostly constructed of steel which makes this case very solid. It has very good cable management for a non-modular psu and it has many fan mounts.

I'm really digging the Cooler Master Storm Scout 2

Dimensions (L x W x D)23.1 cm x 51.3 cm x 52.1 cm. Linus and also Newegg have done review / unboxing on this. Search for it on YouTube. Only con is the big reset button (not that big of a deal) You can get it in black and white.

I am a huge fan of the nzxt cases. Very stylish, well designed, lots of mounting options. Personally I have the switch 810 and its huge and has great airflow. Mind you I do have 9 fans including the ones on my rad. The phantom series also has some great cases that have tons of room.   check out the 530 for instance which sells for $130 USD so well within your budget i believe.http://www.nzxt.com/product/detail/134-phantom-530.html
