Little help with cases

[flooberjobby]

Hi, I am in the market to build a new system. I have almost everything picked out except for the ram, and psu, and the case.

The case will have to be able to fit 2 EVGA 9800GX2s, EVGA 790Ultra motherboard, eventually be able to fit when I have the money to upgrade to it, the Koolance water cooled psu, support water cooling, and be able to have a Vapochill easilly attached to the case or inside the case.

I will be moving the computer alot so, any clues would be helpfull and pictures, and or links if possible.

So far I have found these 2.

Google Coolermaster Cosmos S, or Coolermaster Cosmos 1000. They're great cases.

But the question about those cases are they big enough to fit the water cooling and future psu?

Also can I easilly hook up a Vapochill LS to it?

Those are pretty much my maygor concernes other than fitting the quad sli in it.

To bad no one has like a list of quad sli compatable cases for the 9800GX2, or the radion 3870X2s.

So is it just really slow, or does no one really have an idea of any cases to suggest?

I mean I am still hunting myself. I'm trying to find one portable and vercitile enough for what I want. You know with water cooling, and the Vapochill LS.

May seem like I have money but, I don't, I just budget and save. I been saving for about 2 years for this thing. I have been workign at my job the entire time.

Well, the Cosmos is a full tower case, with plenty of room. It was actually designed to easily host water cooling.

You want this one:http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=125&products_id=21375

It will hold a volkswagen.

If you can find an SE version, it has ports on the back to run WC tubing through.
The 830 has built in handles, but is quite heavy; nevertheless I can move mine around pretty easily. They do have wheels included in the box if you are so inclined.

I like the look of those coolermaster cases and may pick one up my next build. I really like My silverstone case but would need modification for cooling for your setup.


Good Luck.

I like the cooler master 830 case, but thats pretty much the same size as the Thermaltake Armor + or Xaser VI.

Personally I prefer the thermaltake armors, only because I had the original Thermaltake Armor full tower, and it fell aproximately 4 ft onto concrete and bounced up from the impact about a foot or so and hit the concrete again. It ended up being a little shifted and the drivebays semi-sorta lock in still but all the components inside were safe and sound and unscathed.

Only reason the case fell is because the carrying thing I had for it broke, not the strap but the metal clips that held it. Turned out they were cheap white metal clips.

I am just getting this case as a temporary till I get the case I want finished. I am building a case with the help of my dad because he is a machinist, and works cad like a god. Plus he has access to cheap materials for it. It's a one of a kind cube case that I don't think anyone will ever have a copy of. But eh I will post pics on it when I get to it. That will probly be a wile because I am in the military and am constantly deployed with not enough time for going home and planning the case out. I have to draw it right now, but I am still working out the kinks in the design in my head.

I think I am going with the Xaser VI, if there are any problems with water cooling it let me know.

the 343 is a beast!

Allright thank goody I found this out before I went and clicked the purchase button on the Xaser VI case. The 343 I found out has an option that you can order for like 20 bucks that allows you to install 2 psu, and it can also install 2 mobos if you wanted. with some modding that is. so its like the motzart except easyer to move around.
