I am looking for a good full tower gaming case for my next build. Right now I am considering the NZXT Switch 810 or the BitFenix Shinobi XL, although I am open to suggestions.
I have done some research on both cases but haven't seen either in person, and would like an owner's opinion.
I do plan on liquid cooling, and would prefer to keep all the components internal. In my build I plan on using Gigabyte G1 Sniper 5 mobo (which is a very large board).
If you are suggesting a different case, I would like for it to be full tower (so I can liquid cool), and have a large acrylic window because I think I am going to go big on this build (especially since I am definitely not going to purchase the new Xbox). And please try to keep it around $200 (£ 130).
ETA: I am building a custom water cooling loop (to my knowledge radiators come in many sizes so not having a specific one in mind right now should not be an issue).
Components:
CPU: Intel Core i7-4770K
MOBO: Gigabyte G1 Sniper 5
SSD: SAMSUNG 840 Pro Series MZ-7PD256BW 2.5" 256GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
HDD:Western Digital WD Black WD1002FAEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive
RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance 32GB (4 x 8GB)
GRAPHICS: GIGABYTE GV-N770OC-2GD GeForce GTX 770
PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA NEX750B BRONZE 120-PB-0750-KR 750W ATX12V
I also plan on adding the graphics card to the loop (which is why I haven't considered the Thermaltake Urban s71 b/c the HardDrive case is riveted in place, despite the fact that I like the way it looks). Components shouldn't really matter except for the MOBO and GRAPHICS for space issues but here you all go.
