New stuff day, Case suggestions

dannycivic02 · 26 Oct 2011 at 18:06

Well the day I have been waiting for recently got a new gfx card and was worried about bottlenecking on my old core duo system so did the only thing I could upgraded

HIS Raedon 6950 2gb
i5 2500k
MSI Z68A GD55 Mobo
8gb Corsair XMS3
Dark Rock Pro Cooler

All fitted looking good or so I thought. Not thinking when I ordered the Cooler on how massive it is it doesn't fit in my little NZXT M59 Case, well rephrase that it does fit its just the cover doesn't fit on as it sticks out so much. Ah well excuse to buy a new case I suppose lol

Suggestions on cases would be appreciated I want something massive like full tower with a side window (showoff) no side fan though lol around £80 budget. Thanks.

Lancool k62?

K62/K63
CM 690ii
I think it'd fit in a bitfenix shinobi as well

I do like the K62 but looking at it it doesn't look any bigger than the one I have and im concerned I will get it and it will not bee big enough, why did I have to get such a massive cooler! I have about 160mm from the mobo to the edge of the case and from there the cooler protrudes 3mm.

i'll put my usual suggestion forward of the silverstone raven (doesnt really matter if you go for the 2 or 3, they both have amazing cooling)
