We're going to need a bigger case.

[something daft already!!]

Just upgraded my GPU and it only just fits in my case. I cant use a GPU support bracket as this cannot fit as well. I'm looking to get a case which gives enough room for the XFX 7900GTX but I also need to have a minimum of 4 3.5 inch drive bays and a couple of SSD bays. Room for a radiator for GPU cooling as well. All cases I like the look of only seem to support 2 3.5 inch drives and 2 2.5 inch ones. Anyone got any ideas on this? I've googled and only found the above. It will need some RGB niceness. I quite like the look of this one:

Maybe the answer is another NAS drive but they are pricey and I already need a new case.

Fractal Design do a number of cases that would do the trick. That's where I'd start looking.

Or a NAS. Move storage out of your PC altogether.

I have chosen the C8 now as I like the look and will probably get the black variant. I am concerned about my drives though. I managed to squeeze 4 3.5 inch drives into my H500i and was hoping I can do so somewhere on the back. I know it has two 3.5 inch enclosures but was thinking if I remove the 2.5 inch bay from the bottom, I could stack a couple of 3.5 inch drives there. Getting another NAS right now is out of the question. Does anyone have this case and could check if this is possible?

Thanks!

@something daft already!! not sure if you’ve already purchased but the Dark Base Pro 901 is absolutely massive and contains loads of space for drives.

Looks nice but a bit outside of Father Christmas's budget. Also seems you need to buy extra stuff to fit the extra HDDs. I can hopefully squeeze them in the C8 somewhere or get a NAS later. I have a spare HP machine I could use as a NAS.
