Case for i7 build?

ev0styLe · 27 Jan 2009 at 11:48

Hey guys im having a tough time picking out a case for my build, i dont really fancy paying too much for a case as its the other specs that are important to me but at the same time i need the case to be big enough to fit a GFX upgrade at a later stage (GTX285 etc):

CPU: Intel® Core i7 920
Motherboard: Asus P6T Deluxe (Intel X58 chipset, SLI/Crossfire)
Memory: 3.0GB Corsair DDR3 1333MHz XMS3 CL9 (3x 1GB)
Hard Drive: Western Digital 640GB Caviar Black
Optical Drive: Sony DRU-190A 20X DVD±RW
Graphics card: Sapphire Radeon HD 4870 1GB
PSU: Be Quiet 750W

Case: Antec Three Hundred? CoolerMaster 690?

I like the look of the Antec 300 but dont want to get caught out when its not big enough

Any suggestions out there?

Cheers.

Would look at the Antec 1200 or Antec p182, or maybe even a good lian li/silverstone case if you dont like those antec cases.

I wouldnt skimp on case when your building such a high end build as you would be kicking yourself otherwise.

Mine fitted nicely into the Cooler Master CM690 and tbh think it looks nicer than the Antec cases.

I think the P182's are great it took me 4 hours to install everything but its worth it in the end.

Im thinking about going for a CoolerMaster HAF 932? Otherwise maybe the Antec 902, and finally the CM 690 but is a bit too plain for me so not sure at the moment.

I too am thinking about the HAF 932, only thing putting me off is the lack of dust filters...
