NZXT Source 530 http://pcpartpicker.com/part/nzxt-case-caso530m1

All are excellent units with plenty of space. the Source 210 is the cheapest and smallest of the three and it will still hold a large cooler like a 212EVO. it also has wonderful cable management considering its a $40 case.


Anything with a window or something, I want to make it look good in my room.

The Source 530 has a window. it also has a very large top vent so if you want to later upgrade to a nice snazzy water cooler, this case has plenty of room for it.

from what I have built in:
phanteks enthoo pro(personal reccomendation, luxe if you can swing it- has built in variable LED lights), Corsair 750D (full tower/huge), fractal define r4 window, nzxt h440 (no optical drive), Corsair 500R, cooler master Storm Scout 2 (novelty of handle)

Just watched the video, have to say that is an elegant, beautifully finished case. Um, will it fit my build and/or fit SLI 780 Ti's in the near future?

Pro is more than enough as blackbird said, especially at the $100 usd price point.

There is plenty of room in the Enthoo Pro.

Here's a shot of my internals.

I'll upload a pic of the in-progress enthoo luxe build tonight as well for a comparison (wife wanted the LED's).
I have an h440 build you can see here: http://pcpartpicker.com/b/XhkTwP

built one in the enthoo pro about 3 weeks ago, love the phanteks cases. and again, as myself and blackbird said, the pro is a STEAL at the price it is at right now.

Not really a fan of the HAF or 900 in terms of looks, but that's personal pref.
