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)

hey do you think it might be possible to put a 200 mm on top if you jerry rig it somehow? i ordered the case will be here Friday

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 was thinking about using zipties on the top to hold it in a got a free 200mm Noctua fan

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.

another question is what happens if you put a video card in Vertically? Do i lose any speed performance or any drawbacks to doing it at all?

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

You can drag and drop them into the comments and the forum will host them for you.

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.

 

[fightingfi]
