Rotherham Need: GHz
I'm looking for a case that will house two loops - one for cpu and mobo the other for GPU's.
I'm looking at GTX 465 in SLi and o/c i5 but don't know much about cases.
Also the case to fit 2 dual rads.

Any suggestions for a reasonable priced case?

Thanks
 
Bit OTT :)- I'm guessing 2x120.2 will be enough! Although the 120.3 in the roof would be nice its probably overkill (still ... would be nice though!:D)
 
The TJ07 is too pricey but it's a stonking case.
The Coolermaster 690 II Advanced is good value. After looking at some YouTube vids it seems to be a very adaptable case too.

Can anyone suggest any other cases I should look at?
 
scotty watch out

Scotty DON'T BUY the GTX 465 as its a pile of poo (check out online reviews on bit-tech). The GTX 460 1gig version is what u want as the 465 is one of the worse bang per buck cards u can get. An example is the GTX 465 is one of nvidia's slowest newer cards so get a 460 instead check them out online trust me u wont be disappointed (just dont like seeing ppl buying the wrong card as ull be gutted have two of those ****ty 465 in sli).

In terms of cases any full tower case will do as ull then have the space to fit a rad at the top and at the front of the machine (you can also think about placing it on the floor).
 
Coolermaster ATCS 840 is a good case for watercooling. And really, DON'T buy the GTX 465. Either, go for the GTX 460 1GB version in SLI, or the GTX 470 in SLI.

The ATCS 840 can fit a triple rad in the roof, and a dual in the base. Also, as far as I know, dual loops aren't really any better than single loop.

The GTX465 SLi was based on the idea of flashing them to 470's (I want to buy a pair of the ones that work)

That could work...but I don't think there is ever any guarantee that you will ever get two of those mate :p

Unless you have a list of serial numbers, and you know EXACTLY which ones will work, it won't work. It will be total pot luck as to what you are getting. Also, it was only the very early GTX 465s that were degraded 470s. I don't think there will be that many around anymore.

Isn't that fairly simple to understand? Modify it so that it can fit a triple rad in the roof.
