In short, I need a new case. My current one is full steel and weights 114 pounds (shipping weight, was $347 to ship, don't ask.). This case is in no way practical in any sense. Anyway, I've been looking around and stuck between the HAF X and the Trooper/Stryker, problem is, I don't know what to get. I plan on adding a h100i and will eventually SLI 780's. My plan with the HAF X was to replace the rear fan with a Aerocool 140mm shark (red), add the h100i, and add some CM megaflow 200mm fans (red). Only reason I'm wondering is because I want the absolute best case, for future parts as well and the maximum cooling, save for a custom loop.


Side Note - HAF X Users: To anyone with the HAF X, with the fans I plan on adding will this suffice, or should I go with something different (plan on getting 4 of the mega flow 200mm (red), and just one shark to replace the rear exhaust), will eventually get a fan controller.

Side Note - ST/Stryker Users: Do you have any extra fans added, and what are they?

Then check the Corsair Obsidian 750D or the Fractal Design Define XL. These are very good cases...

These two cases are all good choices. But I doubt you will need a full-tower case to put all your components. A mid-tower would have more than enough space.

If you really want to put a H100, I suggest you take a look at Corsair cases. They are pretty high quality and have a lot of features for the price. Plus, they can all fit a H100. I would also recommend you go check Fractal Design cases.

For cases recommandations, I would go for either a Corsair Carbide 500R or a Corsair Graphite 600T.

I do plan to upgrade as I go along, and with the SLI 780's don't think will fit in a mid. I've also been eying the maximus E-ATX board.
