I can't decide which case I want for my rig. I have used a Cosmos S but, not sure I want another one. I like the panel and the space inside.

I going to have 3 or 4 hotswap drives in front bays and of course a dvd rw so yeah a 6 bay tower would be nice.

I have a lian li pc 75b case with 80 mm fans but, I figure it couldn't handle a gulftown cpu and a GTX 480 due to major heat issues?

Any suggestions on cases I should look at that would be quiet great airflow and handle 1 or two gtx 480's or new cards.

Thanks
 
If you want hot-swap bays, look at the Corsair Obsidian 800D. It's got 4 hot-swap bays built-in and 5 other 5.25" bays.

It will cool more than well enough for a gulftown and two GTX 480s, the one in the lab has two 5970s in it and the ambient temps are very good.

It might not be your style but it is an option.
 
Redbeard is right on this one. Too bad the 800D at Microcenter has been sold out online for the last three weeks.
 
Thanks I'll look it over.

Does anyone have a suggestion on the smallest case I could go if I want a gtx 480 video card.
 
Your going to need good air circulation so I recommend Cooler Master for smaller cases.

HAF 922 and 690 II Advanced.
 
not to tread on redbeard, ( I love corsair! ) But I like the FT-02. includes one hotswap adapter but you can purchase more from silverstone. a little smaller than the 800D ( good case though! ) and an inverted motherboard w/ 3 180mm fans + a bit cheaper ( if you don't buy from microcenter ) .
 
Regarding the Corsair Obsidian 800D at Microcenter, the website states there are 7 in stock at my store. To see the price, I need to add it to my cart but when I do, it states that its not available for online purchase, despite my store being selected at the top of the site?

I guess I'll have to pay them a visit to see what price their selling it for, I know they were selling it for a nice price recently.
