help with case selection

skinneyb · 13 Feb 2012 at 15:00

hi all i am starting a new build and i want it to be high end so am looking at getting a nice big case but am unsure what one was looking at the 800d but also like the look of the big square cases that are about will be water cooling i5 or i7 and 2 x gpu want to have lots of room so it dose not look to compact and was just putting it out there to see what sort of ideas you all come up with looking at a budget of £250 for case

Personally I'd say have a look at the BitFenix Shinobi XL

Looks to be a beast of a case for watercooling with multiple rad support

Buy a cosmos 2 you'll have all the space you need

Corsair 800D would be a good choice though, im a big corsair fan myself and i know that the 800D is pretty huge

Personally I would go for the shinobi xl, BitFenix may release a windowed panel later on.

just gotta have a window, if you have the cash then the Corsair 800D

^ This. I can imagine it won't be long before they do release a window.

Or... if you really fancy being unique, you can mod the side panel...

Pretty sure the Shinobi XL has a confirmed window, but for your needs and price bracket you're looking at one of three choices really.

Shinobi XL
800d
Xigmatek Elysium
OcUK Monolith tower - interior of the Elysium, exterior of a CM690ii (just larger)

And that's probably the order I'd buy them in myself as well.
