Quick question about midtowers

Dark Katana said:
Buy the PC-7B plus II instead: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112099. It's cheaper, has 120mm fans and will accommodate an 8800GTS easily. (I even squeezed two 8800GTXs in SLI into my PC-7, but the temps were too high.)

That's the thing though. I was planning on stacking two 8800's in sli. But that would be later on (if for whatever reason that helps).

so I was also looking at this

If you are planning on eventually going SLI the PC-61 is definitely not for you. The G70 will obviously accommodate any gfx solution known to man and has the Lian Li side mounted fan for cooling your cards (though it actually exhausts the air from the cards in its default installation), so its a no-brainer if you can swing the price and have room for a full tower. My PC-7 Plus is an older model which doesn't even have the vents over the graphics card(s) that the current version sports--that might improve the cooling a little bit over my version (though I'm skeptical of the vent's effectiveness without a fan pushing or pulling air).

That being said, I'm sort of surprised to see you go from the PC-61 to the G70 without missing a beat. PC-61 is 8" x 17.7" x 19" (WxHxD) PC-G70 is 8.3" x 23.2" x 23.4" (WxHxD) May I be the first to say :confused:?
 
Lmao,
:D I know it's a huge jump but I'm going to stick with Lian-Li and I can't really find something in between. As for size I would much rather have a mid, as well as for transportation (I shouldn't be transporting it too much anyway). But I would like to be sure that I have room and no overheating issues.
 
I have the Lian Li PC-60 Plus Silver case and I love it.
Side 120mm fan over the video cards and front. Good
space and well made. My 3rd Lian Li you can't go wrong.
Back has 80mm exhast and tops has 60mm. That PSU should fit
its similar in size to my HX520.
