Case to replace a Cosmos S?

metalmackey · 21 Apr 2011 at 20:14

Ello Guys,

My Cosmos S is a wicked cas but I have 1 problem with it. The lowest PCI-E slot on my mobo is close to the PSU so can fit a graphics card in there if I ever wanted 2 cards. Soundcard is blocking othe PCI-E slot. Is there a big case with more room between the mobo and PSU, or maybe one where the PSU goes up the top will be better?

Thanks

What's your budget?

My favourite is the Cooler Master CM 690 II Advanced. lovely case.
Tons of space, excellent case to work with.

the cosmos s is a full tower is it not , the cm690 II is a mid tower case . look for one with more than 7 pci slots on the rear , not sure which have without checking

The haf x has nine pci slots iirc or you could wait for the xigmatek elysium

I did just this, I changed from a Cosmos to a HAF X , so I could have a dual slot, 460 on the last slot for physx

Thanks mate. How does the new case compare to the cosmos S?

I really like it, better cooling for sure, have the 2 hot swap drive bays, is brill, and with usb 3.0 as well, I couldn't be happier

I have both the cosmos s and haf x, and the haf is a far better case on features and cooling.

+1 Haf X

I came from a Stacker 832 to a Cosmos S to an ATCS 840 and the HAF X is the best IMO. Hated the stupid rails on the Cosmos S..

Haf X, 800d, the new xigmatek one.

ATCS 840 awsome case so much room to work with.
