List of my personal favourite cases

Price is the main concern, the cost of waterblocks as well for 2 cards, and to run a cpu and 2 video cards would be a bit much on a single water loop. Besides i think a single 5870 would suffice for the games i play at 1920x1200.

Why is that? Did it seem it wasn't as beneficial as if you just upgraded from 5870 to 5890? I'm curious is one 5890 stronger or weaker than 2 x 5870 or 2 x 5850?

The 5970 IS 2x underclocked 5870s

I would go for the TJ07 since there is no obsidian (not sure if the TJ07 is on the list but its absolutly worth considering, especially for watercooling)
 
Lol shmacks.

Okay everyone the choice is now down to two cases.

First case: Lian Li PC-P80 Case at £229
Second Case: Lian Li PC-A77F - No price tag. Released 26th March 2010

If you guys are already well acquainted with these two cases, which of the two would you recommend? They both seem like fantastic cases, the first case is a little bigger, and is able to house two processors or whatever at least that's what the review said. Anyways simply I'm looking to add water cooling, maybe change the side panels to windows with 2 fans, looking to do triple cross/sli or more. Will be getting ssd soon enough.
 
I'd have to say the Coolermaster Stacker STC-01, yes its pretty ugly to start with but thats just a big blank canvas right there. Some polishing, paintwork and a little imagination and it looks great! (well mine does) :D

I love my Lian Li A77 also.
 
The PC-P80 looks grossly overpriced for what it actually offers, end of.

The Lian Li PC-A77F looks great but rumours are it'll come in at £300+. If you're happy to pay that then it looks like a gorgeous case. Personally, for that kind of money I'd want powdercoated internals included in the price, no question.

Thing is once you've spent top dollar on an awesome case like the A77F you almost have to spend another £400 on watercooling and modding. No point putting a bog standard air cooled rig in a case that special.

If you're in it for the long haul, then the A77F but deffo wait for the reviews before you part with your cash.

In short: A77F is correction to failures and bad features of Thermaltrash class P80 whose dimensions are bigger only because of that performance hampering bling.

And every full tower Lian Li is E-ATX case taking dual CPU mobos.
But games struggle to simply keep utilising growing number of cores in single CPU so for gaming two CPUs really doesn't bring anything extra except more heat. (which would be useful in sauna but you probably don't appreciate that)
