Case suggestions

[Smoblikat]

Hey guys, I am building a new server and want to cannibalize my old case for it. That means I will need a new case for my 3770K build.

I would love to watercool it eventually, and the motherboard is EATX, so the case at least needs to be physically large enough to hold the board (I can mod if I have to).

I was looking at this, it has a lot of what I want:
White (not a big deal, I can just paint the case)
eATX support
Watercooling space

I will be cooling 4 GPU's (less to start), a CPU, a motherboard, maybe somthing else, depending on how addicted I am after I try it for the first time. Modding the case to accommodate enough radiators is something that I am openly expecting, I wont have many/any 3.5" HDD's and only 1 5.25" device, so I can put rads up the front of every case if I need to. The theme of this build is red/purple/white, so white cases are preferable, bit as I said I can just paint them. I also love to look at LED's, so fairly open top/front cases are nice too.

Thanks!

You might want to wait until the CoolerMaster HAF Stacker is released. From what I have seen it would be ideal for what you want to do.

I have the NZXT Phantom 820 and 630. The 820 would suit your needs, but I'm planning on grabbing the new Phanteks Enthoo Primo when it comes out on Oct. 18, assuming it's not pushed back again. That case is a WCer's dream and, I would think (nobody knows, yet) it could house 4 GPUs as it's a full tower.

Whichever case you choose, I'd love to see pics of your build.

Good luck.

Thats a good suggestion, I saw a little about it from the pax coverage, its a really interesting idea.

I just saw the anandtech review, it has 8 expansion slots and eATX support.......so 4 GPU's shouldnt be an issue. Thats a really slick looking case, I am using a pahnteks cooler on my 3770K right now and love it. This is definitely something I will keep an eye on.

Thanks guys!

The corsair 750D looks really nice.

You linked the Thor case from Rosewill which is a good option due to cost as well as roominess and cooling. They also recently came out with a Throne case which is a little bigger. They had it modded at PAX with liquid cooling, and it fit PLENTY of components.

I have the NZXT Phantom and I love it. Looks really cool with 3 quiet 200mm fans.

Watch the video, this is a pretty good case.

The little reviewer lady gets attacked by a thumbscrew as well.
