Hello all
So i recently moved into a new house and would like to keep my gaming pc in the living room, its a full tower Antec Eleven Hundred which is quite an eyesore in the living room as opposed to being under the desk, it houses the following:
CPU: Intel i7 4770k
GPU: Nvidia GTX580
MoBo: ASUS Rampage IV Formula
Ram: G.Skill Ripjaws 16(4GBx4)
PSU: Mushkin 1000watt Gold
my cpu is cooled by an Asetek closed loop liquid cooler which has 2 additional fans attached to it.
I have also added 2 more 90mm fans to the side panel for and extra OOMPH!!! of air circlulation; this brings my total fans to 4.
my pc has 4x3.5 hdds and an ssd
Now here is my predicament:
i would like to move to an HTPC case that could contain most of my components nicely, i realize that a few sacrifices may need to be made, i dont mind shifting my data here and there in order to get rid of a few HDDs or get fewer but larger HDDs since WD drives have gone up to 6TB, i would also not mind scrapping a few cooling fans assuming no harm would be done.
my only requirements are that the case has to (somewhat) look nice inside an entertainment unit (basically look home-theaterish) and must have a few usb ports in the front, optionally i would like the case to be able to support a double SLI of my GPU's in the future should i wish to do that.
i see that silverstone has a few cases that look good but i'm not sure of compatibility issues especially if the case would be able to hold my motherboard. Ive especially taken a liking to the SilverStone Grandia Series GD08B, please have a look at it and tell me if i can pull this off given my current pc components.
let me know if i forgot anything
thanks
