Recommendations Full tower case for 3 GPU's.

[Jacky60]

I'm after a full tower case for my next build. I will be going 4930k with minimum 2 possibly 3 big full size twin slot GPU's (9970's/780's so as big as they get). I will be probs using the biggest off the shelf water cooler I can find for CPU e.g Corsair Hydro 110 although I may go air. Looking at 2 ssd's and 2 1tb raided disk HD's.
I want bang for buck so I care about cooling and silence but not whether it's steel or aluminium or which logo sits on the front.
Any recommendations?

Phantom 820?

Corsair 900D is best but it's kinda overkill for your need

It's going to need 9-10 expansion slots. That right there is going to be the hard limit.

9 slots-
CM HAF X (my case and personal favorite)
NXZT Swift 810 (or Phantom 820 but I don't like the old Alienware look)
Bitfenix ShinobiXL

10-Slots
CM Storm Stryker/Trooper
Silverstone TJ11
Newegg/Rosewill Thor V2
Corsair 900D
CM Cosmos 2

Of those non specialty cases the HAF X, 900D, TJ11, and Cosmos 2 stick out the most for different varying reasons. HAF as more cost effective and best balance of capacity, use plastic and steel. The 900D as a more elegant and stylized version of the above with 1.5 years worth of new ideas. The Cosmos being the true go big or go home, it itself weighs as much as most steel cased systems altogether. The TJ11 just being about the most perfect mass manufactured case you can get.

Why would you need more than two 780s or 9970s sir?
Get two titans instead
The Corsair Obsidian 900D is awesome but its too big for your needs. The case would be too empty if you dont fill it with up to 3 rads and lot of tubbing and fan controllers.

Recently did a build using the Fractal Design Define R4. Not a full size case, but tons of space (and for my needs, lets me do an 8 HDD server). The build quality/cost ratio is very good.
Here is their full tower

Built a system last month using another HAF932 b/c I like my first HAF932 so much...but now I really wish I had gone with the Rosewill Blackhawk Ultra just for the "OMG" visual effect it would have.

The cosmos really is a beautiful case, very versatile too.

Tending towards the Corsair 900D.
I'll need 3 of the fastest GPU's because I'm a fully grown man. Two puny Titans aren't going to cut it for my needs (gaming). I want to go at least 1920/1200 x3 more probably 2560x1440 but also I really want 3x4K. Lets hope prices on 4K start to fall soon. I really like my current HAF 932 but it's a bit small for my needs and the design prevents 3xfull size dual slot GPU's (or at least mine does maybe it changed) as the bottom slot won't take more than single slot GPU.

Yes the Cosmo is an elegant case'

Love my Storm Trooper. Tons of space, room at the top for a rad, easy assembly, and built in fan controller. Even has a very comfortable handle on the top. I also like the way I can mount the lower front fans side to side to keep the hard drive heat away from the video card/CPU. I couldn't find anything that matched it for the price.

In retrospect and after some research I think I'm going for the Xigmatek Elysium. It's huge, really well designed and very good value. Half the price of the Corsair 900D yet can accommodate just about anything I could possible want to put in there.
