I'm in the market for a new case, I've been eyeing up the Midgard and K58, but am open to suggestion.. whats going in it is as follows:
Q6600, currently at stock, possibly with a CoolIT ALC
Asus Rampage Formula
8Gb Corsair XMS2
SCSI Card w/ LTO2 drive
1x200Gb, 3x500Gb, 1x1Tb (soon to have a SAS card, and replace 1 of the 500Gb's and the 200Gb with 1Tbs for a RAID5 storage)
8800GTS 320Mb
As far as price range goes, pretty cheap. I currently have the majority of this running in my LL PC7 (the good HW, the 8Gb is from my server), and the SCSI w/ LTO2 running in my server (tatty old original CM Stacker) which I want to get rid of and I'm going to go w2k8 r2 and set it up as a workstation w/ hyper-v, which'll be W7 on crack - I only watch films, study for MCITP, and play WoW on my computers.
I have 3x4in3 devices from my CM stacker, so I was planning on bundling a load of drives in that and putting it in the 5.25" bays along with my DVD-RW and LTO2...
Suggestions?
Thanks
edit: forgot to mention, the case must have a CPU cut out so I can change HSF easily, as I hate dismantling my system when I want to change my HSF.
