hey all iv been using a cooler master HAF-X for about 4 years now..the case is old and problems with the usb ports on the front seem to of become faulty over time plus it seems to be fairly uncompatible with some of my components (witch are allso due for a possibleupgrade) iv had to take the main duct off the side panel fan just so i can fit the side panel on the case beacuse of the 980tis sticking out.i think an upgrade is in order but for my current components i dont no what would be best if i should go for another fulltower or somthing els...iv had a few looks around but i really dont no what would be the best option for me..my components

Well I have the 540 and it's a great case, I love the hidden compartment for all the cable management. Keeps the actual build you see through the window nice and neat. You've chosen to look at some great cases there, I think they'd all do a good job.
 
The Evolv ATX is a very highly rated case. Excellent quality and features, and will have plenty of space for all your hardware.

Corsair make great quality cases, but I much prefer the layout and features in the Phanteks. The layout means better airflow, the PSU cover and space behind the motherboard makes it so easy to look tidy, has a hub for all your case fans, and I love the mounting method for SSDs with the moveable bracket.

yes i was looking at this case but unforutnatly it only has 2 usb connectons ..i need 4 for my setup..allso its not a fulltower. i thought this owuld be an issue since im housing 2 980tis and one needs a fan and a radiator since its all in one water cooled.

What do you need 4 front USB for out of curiosity? Can 2 not be connected at the rear?

The Evolv ATX will have plenty of space for dual graphics and water cooling. What's your full spec?
