Cases, cases, cases.

So. I am bored of my current case, as good as it is, I need to let it go. It's ugly.

So, I need a case capable of:

Big
Subtle
Classy
Stylish
Needs to fit a 120.3 in
6 HDD's

Cons:

DO NOT WANT BOLD & BRASH AGAIN.

No real budget, but no waaay OTT on price (No UFO case's basically).

No too keen on the Antec P193 and the 600t doesn't look like it will fit a triple rad in.

I keep reading reviews on the lovely TJ-07 and 800D. Now where can I find some build logs for both?

have a look on here or there is some good build log's if you search for "800d build logs"

Thank you.

It is now down to 2 cases. And the question I have to answer is. Do I want to mod a case, or not?

Yes = TJ07
No = 800D

Hard choice.

They are also both about the same price, roughly £225?

Hopefully, if my finance clears, I will have a nice 460-Hawk Talon Attack for my GPU. So the case will need to see to that.

Marvin, I have looked at the FT-02 and cannot for the life of me work out how a Thermochill PA 120.3 will fit....anywhere?

I currently have a case near enough the same as the ATCS 840. I am quite tempted by the Corsair 800D and the Silverstone Temjin TJ07, just cannot decide.

EDIT: Just looked at video review and read a normal written review on the ATCS 840. Seems VERY good and it quite nice, and £100 cheaper than my other 2 choices. One question, will it fit my rad ok? as it has a stupid annoying gap between each 120mm fan, making it longer than it should be, I think it is a Thermochill PA 120.3.

I had the ATCS 840 and a PA120.3 and i can tell you that the fan spacing will mean that it is difficult to mount with out modding (not impossible just a pain). I got rid of the case in the end as the cable tidying is not as good as the corsair models for example. Other than that the case is well made and nice looking.

Double check which PA series you have, if it is the last revision before the TA then it means you have 15mm fan spacing which will allow it to fit in the ATCS. If you have an older revision of the PA then the spacing will be larger and you will not get it to fit with the provided ATCS mounts and fan mount holes.

I have the older one, because I had to drill 2 new holes to get it into my HAF

Right, I think I am set on the loverly CM ATCS 840. Its sleek and sublte, also not OTT. Thing is, I am wary about drilling 2 holes for my stupid rad to fit, as I cocked 1 up on my HAF, but seeing as it is underneath a cover, it was fine, the 840 doesn't look to have such things :/.
