THe Silverstone Fortress seems a strong contender - look at this thread - link.

I've picked out page 8 - if you scroll nearly all the way down there are some pics that may give you an idea of how it could/may look/fit. There are lots of other pictorial examples dotted through out the thread.

It has to be the TJ07, its worth every penny!

+1, looking into it myself atm, not sold here which is a shame, I think you'd find the fortress too small, its only a midi tower at the end of the day
Edit: Your other option would be a mountain mods UFO, buy direct, but remember you'll have to pay tax when its imported and buy all fans, grills, filters, bays etc as you only get the skeleton of the case basically

but with my config will all of fit in the TJ07 and still have plenty of room for water cooling ????

+1 for the fortress

95thrifles · 29 May 2009 at 19:50

yes the TJ07 will fit it, and you can get a couple of triple rads in there on top too, look through some of the build logs
people really should stop just blanket recomending the fortress when its not suitable to the needs of the OP

ooo i fogot i also have the thermaltake toughpower 1200w psu...

so from what you said im sure that will fit in tooo ??

It can't really be anything apart from the TJ07!

.:SAmSuNG:. · 29 May 2009 at 20:09

Totally agreed. Dual loop in a TJ07. Your spec wont really take um that much room.

Reewix · 31 May 2009 at 16:09

well i think thats settled then the TJ07 it will be

cheers peeps for the help

+1 for TJ-07... just look at the watercooled cases post and the Silverstone cases post to see why!
