Looking for a new case recommendation.

I'll be using a Silver Arrow cooler and 580's in SLI. Cable management important. Budget £100-150 but if there is something cheaper then cool.

I've been looking at the Fractal R3 Arctic White, Corsair 600T, Coolermaster HAF, that kind of thing.

Cheers in advance.
 
Will there be any kind of water cooling? What case are you using right now?

Anyway I´d be saying haf x, obsidian 800d/700d or silverstone fortress ft02. All are great ones. Maybe CM 690 II advanced might be an option also?

No water cooling. The only thing I was worried about is the Silver Arrow cooler as its massive.

With aircooled gtx580 sli- setup I´d go for haf x: keeps your components cool great cable management (I mean really great) and fits up to 19cm high cpu cooler so no troubles there. And it fits your budjet.

I´m using only single gtx580 but after gettin my build to haf x I noticed the gpu was a lot quieter when gaming compared to old case. So theres a lot of cool air available for components.
 
I've got a white NZXT Phantom myself, and my single 580 can get up to the mid 80's playing games like The Witcher 2. If you're using a tall CPU cooler then you won't be able to fit the side fan, so I'd suggest the HAF X, especially as you're going SLI.
 
Having just bought one, albeit mine is water cooled, the Thermaltale Level 10 GT has 2x200mm intake fans, 1x200 and 1x140mm exhaust fans. Loads of space inside.

Andi.
 
I would definitely say the HAF X. It is keeping my system really cool. With my specs I haven't seen the temperatures go near 60C at full load.

A lot of room to work with and good for cable management at the back.
