Task - To spec me a spacious case in which to house the below "rig".
I have.. 4 HD's currently contending with an X1900XT and a big typhoon, its carnage, and a nightmare to work on. Any suggestions? :cool:
 
Chieftec Dragon case.

Acres of space for Hard Drives and the 1900 if you get the full tower version, and comes in under budget. :)
 
Akasa eclipse but it is out of your budget, Antec P180 can be had for £70...
Maybe a full tower Chieftec or an Antec Plusview 2 (seen for £51)


Edit: Beaten by miles as I looked for Plusview pricing :(
 
Coolermaster Ammo, about £50 + Delivery and £10 for the Rear 120MM fan, has side air vents to bring fresh air into your typhoon...front vent with 120MM fan to cool hard drives "Holds 4", rear 120MM fan mount, and Top Air vent....

Also looks like a 5 year old designed it and is no bigger than his current case :p

Edit: In fact it only has 3 spaces for HDs (and 2 external ones that could be used) and is a little bit smaller.

PC7 would work just fine but it isnt really any bigger and cooling wont be much better at all. Any others are out of your budget.

Yeh got a similar system in a PC7+, quite good temperatures but the HDD's will need either a hard drive bay extender or stick one of them in the floppy bays.
 
Still WIP but you can see there is a fair bit of space in the Dragon

Yeah theres nothing wrong with it and it would hadle the HDs/graphics fine cooling wise, but the OP wants a more spacious case and it really isnt much bigger than what he has.

Yes and he is trying to stop you getting suspended. Newegg are not a competitor but posting them for such things is frowned upon, better to rehost the pictures.
