New Case £200 budget

The Corsair really isnt the be all and end all like a lot on here seem to make out atm
The armoursuit is good, alternatively I'd look at the Antec P series, the P193 if you need E-ATX, the P183 if you dont. Both mid tower designs, reasonably spacious (193 is plenty 183 may require removal of a HDD caddy for new 5970 cards at silly lengths), good sound dampening (better on the 183 due to lack of side fan)
I think the fortress is mid tower also, which was last seasons must buy case, unlike the corsair now, lol

oodles of space

Then why to limit to mid tower?
And working space with long graphics cards means need for E-ATX motherboard support.
Antec P193 and Lian Li V1000-serie are only mid-towers with good space for long graphics cards. (P193's side wart fan just easily conflicts with big tower heatsinks and that V-series chambered design lacks intake for chamber with most of the heat production)

Lian Li PC-P50R Armoursuit looks really nice, any opinions?

Other than "awfully expensive for such small case" when you can get lot more spacious one for cheaper?

Makes long graphics cards look small:

A71 is same design with direct noise escape path blocking door:

I would suggest the NZXT Panzerbox Aluminium Midi Tower Case.
