What case?

Ethnoo Pro for me. Mostly based on the looks (and the PSU shroud) but the Hardware Canucks review was extremely positive about the case generally. Unfortunately it is 2 months away from release, according to the ETA on OcUK.

In case you had missed it: the Corsair Air 540 is only £105 at the moment.
 
I know you said about the 450D side panel not totally covering the PSU. I bought a 760T yesterday,but changed my mind over night and bought the Corsair 450D instead. The 760T is too big for just doing SLI. I've seen a lot if reviews on the 450D and it will fit 2 reference 780's and a H100i. That's should look good. Where the 760T I would have loads of space which would never be used. I made the right choice with the 450D. Those other 2 look too big for me.
 
I don't want a huge case so yeah 760T no chance.

Yes the Pro looks good but a lot of plastic is used where as the 450D is mainly metal and therefore better quality. Tough decision but I'm in no rush so will think on it some more. Thanks for the replies.

Just found these pic's of a 450D build. I'm hoping my build comes close to this?

Considered the Fractal Design Arc Midi R2? =]

And also the NZXT H440 which is in the same price range and probably the best looking case made in the recent past. The white one of course. :)
The 450D is a compromise in terms of airflow and cooler height relative to the FD cases, the H440, and even the Enthoo Pro. Just 140mm at the back is more or less a necessity for a performance build nowadays.

I considered the fractal but the phanteks came along and It looks like that's the one. I had the 440 and it's a cracking case but it was not to my taste.
 
450D and the enthoo pro look to be the best cooling wise. Though the pro with it's psu cover will enable a nice tidy looking system. Shame so much of it is plastic though, fan hub is a nice addition and tbh im very surprised that it made it into the pro. It was long rumoured that it and the psu cover were going to be available on the Luxe only.
