Hello there, my main rendering and storage rig, while performing up too snuff, is far bigger than I need it to be. It is currently housed in the Rosewill Blackhawk Ultra which is taking up too much room and is limiting what I want to do in here. In order to alleviate this I have decided to purchase a different case and am currently eying up the Corsair Vengeance Series C70 but before I do I want to make sure that I am not passing up something better first.
1. It must house 4 video cards without the last GPU interfering with a long 1600 watt PSU which will be facing up due to carpet.
2. Support a 240mm radiator
3. Have at least 3 external 5.25 bays
4. At least 6 3.5 bays
5. Decent cable management
6. And must have a depth of no more than 20 inches otherwise the furniture I want to bring in will not fit.
7. EATX Motherboard Support
8. Lastly, it needs to have enough airflow to allow 4 GPUs to rendering 24/7 without overheating
Right now the C70 seems to fit the bill but I want to make sure I get the best bang for my buck and do not want to go through the process of transferring my components and finding some things do not fit for one reason or the other or the case is just shoddy to begin with.
Thanks for any input you have!
P.S. In case you are wondering what I am rocking right now:
Case: Rosewill Blackhawk Ultra
Motherboard: Asus ROG Rampage V
CPU: 5930K
GPU: Titan XM, 2 GTX 1070s with a 3rd hopefully sometime down the line if prices smarten up.
HDD: 5 HDD and 2 SSDs - I will use an ICY Dock I already have for the 2 SSDs and 1 HDD to free up even more room for more storage!
Cooling: 240mm Corsair Closed Loop Cooler
