Case for 7950GX2 card

rich1231 · 4 Aug 2006 at 13:57

I'm about to built a new system and want to use a 7950GX2 card.

Obviously its a long beast (the card) and need a case that it will fit in.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

It should fit in any Normal sized ATX case, and ofcourse anything evn bigger than that.
If you want plenty of space around it the Akasa Eclipse would be ideal.

How much money you got to spend?

No budget limits really so feel free to suggest anything.

I have loads of room in my CM Stacker 810 case. Check them out m8, could be the one for you

Almost all cases will hold that card, if not all of them.

Care to choose a few you like the look of from OcUK's range and we can go from there?

thanks for the replies..
i'll come back with a list of the ones i like the look of.

ohhh just looking at the Lian Li website,, the Archimedes desk looks fun

I suggest the Silverstone Temjin TJ07 (black) (i want this case so much) or the Lian-Li PC V1000+ (silver).

TJ07 is really expensive for what it is though.

Anything from the PC7+ would be a good option.

And the Lian Li desks start from £1500 and go a lot higher.

Thanks for the replies guys, went for an Akasa eclipse in the end.

Good choice

, I'm really happy with mine and cant see myself ever changing to another case, unless another form factor comes along and I'm forced to.

For me it would have to be the Lian Li V1000+. Its had so many great reviews!

If you take build quality out of the equation the Eclipse is actually the better case, better cooling and more space for hard drives with a modular PSU (but dont get me started on using modular PSUs with 5 hard drives).

Add in build quality and looks, then yes the v1000+ is the better case for me, but however you put it the Eclipse is in a different league for cooling.

I have an Akasa Eclipse

I gotta say, i'm keeping this for a very very long time!

johnskey · 13 Aug 2006 at 20:13

My CMstacker gives it plenty room to breath, and swing a cat...or 6

Hi guys,

got the case now and its very impressive.

Thanks again for the suggestions.

Only problem is that Im not used to a case being so open upable if that makes sense. Took a few too many of the screws out first time round
