Bought the items listed below for my new gaming rig but didn't realise until I started building it that the CM-690 case can't accommodate a double slot graphics card in the bottom slot. Pity really as I love the case. I'll keep it for a future build.

I have a Corsair 800D that the build will fit in but I would prefer to use a midi case rather than a full tower if possible. I've been looking around and have found a few midi cases with 8 expansion slots which may do the job.

Can anyone suggest any cases that fit my requirements? I should also mention that I'll be watercooling the CPU so the case will need to accommodate at least a double radiator.

Any suggestions gratefully received :)

(This is not the full spec, I already have some bits).

The 600T has 8 slots. Can take 240 rad at the top, 360 if modified and can take a 200 rad at the front if you remove the HDD bays.

That's one of the ones I've been looking at. The white one looks pretty nice. Thanks for the quick response. If anyone can give me further options, I'd appreciate it - the more options the better.
 
600T is ok if you don't plan on watercooling the cards internally.

If you don't have that psu already I'd reconsider. An 850W is enough for 670 tri-sli

Maybe this could be the case for you .

Practically speaking, it probably would be. Pity it's hideous :p ;)
No offence but I've never liked the haf x cases.

If I do decide to watercool the cards, I'll be using my water chiller so that won't be an issue.

I'm not convinced 850W would be sufficient for an overclocked 3770 and 3 overclocked 670s. I'm playing it safe :)
 
Had a chat with the helpful 5UB in the pre-sales queries forum and got some confirmation from Corsair that the 600T would work with the build and have ordered one for delivery on Monday. Will post back when I've confirmed 100% that it fits and will take some pics for a build log.

Thanks to those who took the time to try to help :)
