Hi all. I want to replace my Cooler Master Cosmos II case with something smaller. Maybe a mid tower. The hardware inside my current case is 2x GTX titans, Asus Rampage IV Extreme, 4x 3.5" HDDs, 2x SSDs, standard PSU, and Cooler Master Seidon 240MM. Besides that, nothing else really to fit (didn't name components that don't take up space such as CPU). I would like to fit this into a mid tower or cube case comfortably. I am considering getting a Corsair Carbine 540 and dropping 2 of my HDDs. I already own one of these cases, so I kind of know my way around it. I'm willing to give up possibly hard drive space, but can't give up anything else. Please provide recommendations if you can. :)

1st can you tell me the size in millimetres of the titans?
I would recommend you the NZXT Phantom 410. All of the series are amazing, but this is the only good (Phantom 210 is rubbish) mid-tower Phantom. If you want more of a simple look take a look at the Corsairs (300D, 400D etc...)
Both are amazing and I would highly recommend them.

Hope I helped :D

Hi ff6shadow
The coolermaster HAFXM
EDIT: checked , will fit your EATX board , cards up to 354.0 mm - 463.0 mm without HDD cage,
8+1 expansion slots so both cards not a problem
will hold all of your drives
will fit the Cooler Master Seidon 240MM in the roof :)

I looked at Corsair 500R and it looks like a very solid case for my components. It fits the radiator and fans np and other components. It actually has 6x HDD/SSD drive bays built in. The exact amount of drives I have. However, it doesn't support extended ATX. Unfortunately, the Asus RAMPAGE IV Extreme is extended ATX, which some mid tower cases don't support. Not sure if the Corsair 540 will be able to fit it either. Which, I possibly was willing to use.
