Case Suggestions for Super-Workstation

[nitrobass24]

I am building a new workstation soon and wanted some input on cases.
I know I am building a heat monster, but I would like to keep it as quiet as possible.

This will be a Dual Xeon nehalem box with 4 double GPUs.
I am thinking for CPU coolers to go with either two TRUE Blacks or two Corsair H50s

Must Haves:
8+ expansion slots.....will be using 4x GTX275's
E-ATX support
Space to mount 2 H50's

I have looked at the Corsair 800D and I like it but I dunno how I could put in two H50's

What you guys think?

Wow, wish I had that kind of jack to slap down on a rig.

Instead of using 2 seperate small watercoolers, just use one large loop or two loops of traditional money. If you have the funds to purchase 4 gtx275, you probaly could afford one and it would be quieter or just as quieter as two seperate HSFs and you'd get better temps

Good Luck

Lian-Li P80 has 10 expansion slots, not sure about mounting 2 H50s in it though.

Mountain Mods too:

Yea, im looking for something.....well normal looking. I dont really want a spaceship in my room.

You could stick an H50 on the top of the corsair 800D (Or both of them?) Just space them out a bit... or one on back one on top..

Hmm welll I think I might just go with air cooling.

Looking at the Armorsuit P50 but im kind of concerned about cooling ability.
I really like the PC-A7010, but it only has 7 slots and im not sure if there is enough room for my 4th GPU.
I would prefer to go with Lian-Li, they make great cases.
After reading about the cooling issues on the 800D, while its not terrible I dont think its up to this task.

Temps are identical to my HAF922 I had... but this case is silent in comparison and is running 3 x 140mm fan's vs. 3 x 200mm, a 120mm, and a 140mm...

I will try a different airflow if I have time that some people say might improve airflow even more

BlazeStorm-

I currently have a Gigabyte Aurora 570 case and I think I would like to go to the HAF 932. Do you think it would provide better airflow than my Gigabyte?

Thx

Sorry to the OP for the thread heist......
