Looking for case recommendations for a build I'm planning.

 

I've been looking at the Thermaltake Core X9, so please hate on that if there's anything I should know.

 

Requirements are:

  • EATX Mobo (MSI X99 XPower Gaming Titanium)
  • 8 PCIe slots (Might expand to Quad-SLI)
  • 2x 2.5" SSD Bays
  • 6x 3.5" HDD Bays
  • 2x 120mm radiators (But would like 4)
  • 1x 240mm or 280 radiator
  • At least 2x 120mm fan mounts for case airflow in addition to radiators
  • Would like 3x 5.25" Expansion Bays (2x for fan controller, 1x for HDD hotswap bay) but if there's a better way to do this, I'm all ears.
  • I'd like to be able to sleep next to this while it's under load, so big fans in addition to the radiators are a must.

You can't do quad SLI, and even if you could it is a horrible idea.

Stick to 1 or 2 GPUs only, just buy better ones.

the 230t doesnt have the radiator mounts tho and are not as good as the 760t

the enthoo primo is a lot bigger than the enthoo pro/luxe and the latter has the radiator mounts he is looking for i believe
