Hi,

I am hoping you can give me some advice on a suitable case. I injured my arm recently and can’t really carry a HUGE case to lan parties anymore – the injury could be permanent unfortunately

If I list my new system specs below, could you recommend a case that would give decent performance without being stupidly large?

980x
12GB RAM
2 x 5970
Enermax Galaxy 1KW
4 x 3.5” HDDs
1 x SSD
2 x BD-RWs

I realise that good cooling is a must, but is there a case that would do a good job without breaking my back?

Many thanks for your help and advice

Thank you for the ideas guys. I guess you can't really have a small (ish) case that can fit a high end system in and expect to obtain the same cooling performance as something like the Corsair 800D really can you
 
Brilliant, i've never had a Lian Li case before and i don't know much about them

but if it cools well and can fit my 5970s then i'm definitely up for giving one a go

I did own the Coolermaster Stacker 832 once and some people on this forum said it was a poor cooling case due to the mesh sides on it. Given that the Sniper seems to have the same mesh, is it a concern?

thanks
