A Great Case w/ Plenty of space

[Charz]

After alot of time searching, I cant seem to find a good case to fit this build in. I've look at plenty of the suggested cases but alot of them have the PSU mounted at the bottom and alot of the time i read of people having trouble connecting there PSU to different components.

Well this is my build:

Heatsink - Xigmatek HDT-1283 - $37 (Also the retention Bracket as well) $7
GPU - Powercolor 4870 - $310
Mobo - Asus Rampage Formula Intel X48 - $290
PSU - Thermaltake Toughpower 850W - $260
CPU - Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 OEM - $195
RAM - G.Skill DDR2 1066 4GB - $90
HDD1 - Seagate Barracuda 250GB - $60
HDD2 - WD Caviar 1TB - $190
DVD Burner - LG 20x DVD Burner - $25

I'm not against a bottom mounted PSU, provided that there will be no problem with my PSU reaching my parts. Also it has to fit my Xigmatek cooler as well and that things a monster. :lol: With my Budget for the entire build being $2500 and the setup so far coming to about $1500 or so the cost isnt much of an issue. I'd even go for a different PSU if it meant going along better with any case suggestions, I'd just prefer the PSU having modular cabling.

Thanks for the suggestion but that cases reviews were pretty subpar. I am considering that PSU are the cables a good length?

i've got the HX620 & the cables are pretty long on mine,
"subpar review"? i didnt know anyone had done a review yet?

After looking around a bit more I think I'll get the Gigabyte 3D Mercury case, and most likely get the Corsair 1000W PSU becuase its only $10 more than my 850W Thermaltake toughpower.

ewww the gigabyte case is really freaking ugly. Try the Coolermaster Cosmos,Antec 1200, or the thermaltake armor + not the regular armor the plus version. the regular one is fugly.

Thats funny because I find those other 3 to be ugly. I guess its a matter of personal preference, I've looked over most of the commonly suggested cases by now definetly including those and I just couldn't see myself wanting them.

This is the case I purchased, for a little over $200:

It is ridiculously huge, but the build quality ensure I will have it pretty much forever, or at least until PCs are completely redesigned. There is nothing that won't fit in here and I will always have amazing airflow.

PSU is top-mounted, btw.
