I am looking for a full tower case. I have a P180 and I actually kind of like it. Unfortuneately there are not favorable reviews on the Antec 1900. I find the quality of built not as good as the P180 that I have.

I plan on doing Crossfire.

I'm thinking of the Corsair 760T. Any other options? I don't really have a budget?



Thanks

You could try the Antec P280 or the Fractal R4. The R4 might be a better fit if you add a side fan.
Edit : you could also try the Fractal define XL R2 it's a bigger version of the R4.
 
I've been unreasonably happy with my ole Antec 1100 cheap as it was.
I've actually spent the last few days reading $300 case reviews and looking at build photos
compared to mine, and while there are larger cases and a lot of nice features and most likely better build quality and/or material, they are all lacking in some respect compared to what I have now.
The 1100 would be perfect to me if it was an inch wider and a couple inches deeper and taller and
had hinged door that opened at the front. I was not impressed with the 1900 sadly, and the 1200 is goofy looking. There is a 1100 version2 that has dual 120's up top in stead of the 200mm, presumably for radiator mounting. I run an 8350 with a Noctua D15 and crossfire 280x's and a handful of drives and ssd's with a full load of Noctua case fans that cost more than the case did and full filter set from demciflex, it is thermally excellent and relatively quiet with software PWM control.
 
you can't go wrong with any corsair case. I've worked with several, and they are always a pleasure to build in, and I'm always happy with them.
 
I've gone through 5 or 6 Antec cases after being impressed with the first one I got. In fact, once I started with my first Antec, I haven't used anything else. Until recently...

For my latest build, about 6 months ago, I went Fractal XL R2. I like it so much, I am thinking about getting some more and replacing my Antec P182 and P180. It's an outstanding case. Large, flexible, quiet: better build quality than the Antec cases I've had. And I'm (obviously) a fan of Antec.
 
Considering a new build and been shopping cases myself. The only other thing that looks really sharp is the Fractal XL R2--only problem is the I/O ports are top-mounted. Really hard to find a case that has them in front like the Antec P280 I'm using--and the other Antec cases I've used (P180/183). The Corsair Obsidian 900D has them in front but don't care for the side-window or the case, really. Find the P280 can be had for about $90 on Amazon--way cheaper then the other two. Hate to put a new build in the same old case but for the money not sure it can be beat. The P280 was and still is an excellent case. Hoping to see a new Performance One case from Antec one of these days.
