Did some research into this very subject.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811139010


it will hold a 2x 120 or 2x 140 rad on top and has good airflow

Easy smezzy side window mod if desired and it will acomidate 4 dual slot cards if you decide to go big

when I was looking at it it was $ 89.99 so low ball deals may be looming.

Down side, being steel this case ways a ton ..............



good luck Daawg ...................

I've looked at that too WD, except the black one over the white. You know what they say, once you go black LOL

anywho, the Corsair 800D will fit a 3 x 140 Feser (which I already own) very nicely in the top. This one rad should be enuf for the CPU, 2 580s, and the chipset of the RIIIE Black Edition board in there. Nice and clean and compact, well, BIG but nicely fit

Second case for an air breathing card and maybe an air breathing CPU, don't know yet, may use a Tt dual rad in place of the CPU cooler, but like the idea of all air too, so a case that BREATHES (like a HAF or similar) would be the uppermost priority

yeah, it's fugly too :

Still have the old Battlestar shell in the basement. I"m thinking of doing some painting and using that for the air breathing gamer. Tt esports has a nice case for $129, but these day's even that much money is out of my reach :( Since that is the gamer I'd be keeping, the fuglyness wouldn't be an issue lol

Played UT3 on the RIVE/3960 using the MSI Lightning yesterday. Hat the board at 4.5 with a Frio OCK and the card at 025 (w/ 32GB of that sweet samsung 1600 mhz low profile ram ) and it did a great job. Next I'm going to test my MIVE/2600k and see if I can hit 5ghz gaming and if so I'll keep that and get new case for the RIVE gamer. Paid so much for the 2600k I can never recover the $$ so thinking that would be the best option

TBA
