Re: Conclusion - New Case Required

If you could scrape the cash together go for the corsair obsidian 800d, reason being:

1: Absolutley huge space inside

2: Power supply is in the bottom in a separate section, and then there is room in the same section for 2 hdd's, with a 140mm fan drawing air in to the main section from the bottom of the case.

3. Space at the top for a triple radiator, and space on the back for another single fan, with a single 140mm fan blowing air directly over the hdd's and in to the space behind the mobo tray which is about a inch.

4. It has a removeable cover for the back of the cpu so you don't need to remove the mobo to add waterblock's or new hsf's.

5. It has space for a total 5 optical drive's and 6 hdd's, with 4 hdd's being in removeable caddie's, that only require 1 sata power plug as a adapter come's with the case for the 4 power socket's for the hdd's, and those cable's are coverd and out of sight aswell.

This case is excellent for space and cooling and with a bit of modding it will fit more than just 1 triple radiator in it aswell, which i will be doing when i change graphics card's.

It is allot more expensive but it is worth it really for the size of the case etc, it has plenty of room and with a bit of time you can hide 90% of cable's.

Your other choice of course is the Antec 1200 which is another very good case.
