What would be the best case for 2 x 7970 vapor x? A case with good airflow especially to help the top card out. Water cooling them is not an option. Thanks!

Thanks!
Would Thor v2 be a good choice? Or how about a cube such as Haf xb? Even thought about a reverse ATX case where air can shoot in between them and directly exhaust. Any thoughts?

Would a xb evo be a good case for 2x 7970s? Also would I need the side mesh or could i get a window panel instead? Also Corsair 540 looks awesomeee
 
I use the XB EVO for 2 780s, so 2 7970s should be fine. As far as top mesh or window panel, that depends on what you can find at the retailers. Cooler Master makes it both ways, but some retailers only carry one or the other. The window panel prevents a top fan, but your NH-D14 wouldn't fit with a top fan anyway. Personally, I don't like the Corsair Air 540, because the external 5.25inch drive bays are oriented so they'd work best with the windowed panel as the top, but the feet shown in the images make the windowed panel work best as the left side.

Thanks for the input. However, I think I like 540's window better. However I want to know if there is a better case for airflow that has a window. It doesn't need to be a cube...
