was there something in particular you want help with? or are we your personal shoppers?
 
As always I recommend the Cooler Master Master Case 5 Pro. Not the one with the solid front panel, the one with the mesh.

*Edit, the original one like I have is hard to find & expensive now, here is the updated version of the same case (Without the top cover)

You can fit both 120 or 140. I currently have a 120mm fan in mine.


From specifications page:

Cooling System
Fan Options
Front: 3 x 120mm / 140mm fan (1 x 140mm fan Pre-installed)

Top: 2 x 120mm fan

Rear: 1 x 120mm / 140mm fan (1 x 140mm fan Pre-installed)

According to the specifications info the case is 9.25" in width, 200mm is 7.87402" so it may be possible. You would have to dremel it though. Glad I could help you with a case. Post pictures when you get it built :)

I guess you could do that too. The only problem I see is the 200mm fan circulating hot air due to the fact that the exit hole isn't big enough. I'd probably just stick with 1 or two 120mm fans.

The case doesn't come with a vertical mounting options for the GPU. You would have to modify it & also purchase a riser cable for the PCI Express slot.

As far as performance goes, I see you have a 2070. So do I. Mounting the Video Card vertically would probably raise the temperature a few degrees because the fans are designed to push the air away, with the card being up against the glass in the vertical mounted position, it would probably trap a bit of the hot air around the GPU. Its up for debate though. I'd just stick with the traditional mounting method, but like I said you could always mod it, there is a lot of room in the case to tinker around with :)

Nothing fancy, but I think after seeing these pics. I may clean up the cables a bit. Don't go dissing my Velcro strapped Hard Drive, its got bottom mounts and works! lol.

Its a 2070 reference (Founders) model, maybe they made different revisions. I have two SS's mounted to the back of the Motherboard Tray. I took the Hard Drive tray out completely.

Yep, you can mount 2 140's to the top (according to the specification sheet) I only have 1.
 
how did you mount the hdd's im confused as how to do so can you send a pic are the 140 incl fans any good , if not what are some good fans 140 to buy i dont want to spend 30 bucks on the noctua lol thanks !
