Hi all.
Im after a new case.
Ive always had either full or mid towers as i like the space available.

Needs to fit 2x gtx260's and an asus silent knight cooler, ideally black, not plastic and have a side window.

Shortlists so far are:
Corsair Obsidian (not sure if this is overkill for my needs)
CM storm sniper.

Any recommendations?


regards
Callum

Well, then E-ATX support (or equal depth) is the answer because long graphics cards ptherwise eat away any working space.

Sniper has decent space for also HD5870.
At least Obsidian has useless for home use features and awful price for steel construction.
Lian Li A70 has space for long graphics cards and working and would take W-75 sidepanels. Insides are aluminium but you could use mats, even that acoustically useless Akasa, for covering areas not taken by components like motherboard for giving it black and silver look.
 
I havent really set a budget... Its something i would rather do once rather than upgrading every year to suit my needs.
Thats the reason i was looking at the Corsair, it has scope for anything i could want in the near future. Ie multi gpu's water cooling etc.

That Lian-Li Above looks pretty good.. what sort of cost are the replacement panels?

Thanks
 
As the 800d was on special it would have been rude not to get it over the lian-li...
concidering its guts are already black and comes with the side panel.

however, i have to say it was a painful experience parting with £234 for a case and cd/dvd writer lol.
