Looking for a large bug simple case!

mxoagentjohnson · 4 Sep 2015 at 20:42

I'm building a monster build soon, 5960x, sli 970s, watercooling. But i want a large case, one with a window would be great, but nothing stupidly shaped. I just want a plain case with loads of room and air flow at a decent price, with a fair bit of harddrive space and easy to manage cables. Hopefully the harddrive bays come with adjustors for SSD's aswell!

Anyone got any suggestions?

Large case?

I'd be getting this:

If you are building a rig like this, invest into a CaseLabs case.
This would be a perfect choice for your needs.
Check SMA8, STH10 and TH10A.
S8 is also a good choice but with a pedestal.
Oh, and these cases are worth the price. I had S8 with pedestal and it was the best case I ever had.

Blimey thats a big case ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
How would you go about installing a Water Cooling system for my cpu just remove the top fans?

I am not a thermaltake fan apart from the amd coolers they did back in the day, but their core x9 case seems great for £130.
Okay has a plastic front but it's a caselabs case for 1/3 the price.

Is there any benefits to this kind of shaped case?

yea loads of room and the board lays horizontal on a removable tray I am intrigued by this idea it's like having a test bench you screw in to a case.

OK, that Thermaltake X9 is going to be my next case.

Finally, a horizontal mobo tray that will show off my graphics card, with shed loads of WC possibilities, and room for my 5+ 3.5" HDD's.

Will OCUK be selling these I wonder?

Thermaltake Core X9. Can anyone confirm whether this case comes with magnetic filters on the top panel. Some of the reviews appear to suggest it does, whilst others appear to say it does not.

A lot of that looks so unnecessary, especially if it leaked.

+1, Caselabs cases are tremendous to build in etc, but are a bit pricy though, that said they are top quality.
