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
