Hey guys, 

 

I would like to know which corsair cases would provide enough room for a Nvidia gtx 1080 ti with sli expansion in the future, an ATX motherboard, corsair h100i v2 liquid cooling, multiple hard drives, SSD, a 750w corsair PSU, Gskill 32gb v series. 

 

I'm not sure of the compatibility of the cases so any help would be greatly appreciated. I would prefer a case with lots of room even after putting all the components together for airflow.

Just curious, why Corsair? There's a chance that what you like is made by someone else.

We have a NEW and GLORIOUSER-ER-ER PSU Tier List Now. (dammit @LukeSavenije stop coming up with new ones)

You can check out the old one that gave joy to so many across the land here

What other brands do u suggest? 

 

I'm open to looking into other cases but I've heard the corsair Air series were good and so I thought I would go with a corsair case.

I like Corsair probably more than the next guy so I'd say take a look at the nee Carbide Air 740.

 

The Air 540 is nice too, I have one, but I'm not a fan of the drive sleds in the main chamber.

And the Air 740 have improvised drive sleds?

No no, it's that the Air 540 has 3.5" drive sleds in the main chamber that I personally don't care for.

I would have preferred that space were used for fan mounts or something else.

 

The Air 740, designed in an age where big, bulky 3.5" drives are going out of style in PC builds, doesn't have this problem. Instead, you get mounting points for up to a 360mm radiator and accompanying fans.

 

I modded my Air 540 to get rid of the main chamber drive sleds. I don't have any 3.5" drives in this PC.

So because of this, I aim to say to give a look at the newer Air 740 before and over the Air 540.
