Hi guys,

I'm trying to come back to mATX FF and i've got a pretty specific set of requirements:

Must be able to fit:

GTX 690
3x3.5" HDD's
1x2.5" HDD
closed loop for the CPU

It must be pretty as i'm quite fussy when it comes to aesthetics and ideally made of aluminum.

Thanks both of you for your suggestions!

The only other case I was thinking of was the FT03 - What do you recon?

+1 for the TJ08-E, really pleased with mine. Small footprint but big enough to hold a really decent spec. - I've seen dual GPUs and even custom watercooling done in this case! It's aluminium front with steel sides/frame and a nice sleek look imo.

This is what I'm running in mine atm: i5-3570k / P8Z77-M PRO / Gigabyte Windforce 3x GTX 670 / 2 x SSDs and the AP180 fan at the front is keeping everything nice and cool

I don't have the SSD at the side anymore, got this bay insert instead which can hold 4 x 2.5" drives:

I would be very interested in seeing a guts picture of your rig with all of that in it!

Had me confused for a minute there as the photo I posted was what you see is what you get! but I think I've confused you with the Windforce 3x GTX670 - that's the name for the card as it has 3 fans, did you think I meant 3 x 670s?!? I only have the one card!

Oh God... I feel so ******* retarded right now, I did definitely think you had 3 GTX 670's in there, was very impressed for a minute.... Haha.
