Hi

Looking for a case that will fit a gigabyte ga-x79-ud5 or eatx, specific size is 30.5cm x 26.4cm ..... preference is antec, and would like to stay in mid tower case, any recommendations..... i've heard that an atx case with enough breathing space will work... say something like the antex three hundred two.... would be really tight, if it fits at all based on riser position and actual size in mounting position may hang the sata ports into the drive bay area.... been trying to figure out an mid case that will work, any recommends helpful as long as they have been used with this board... thanks

J

Go to newegg and use their filters to weed out what you don't need (like front panel USB 2.0, since you'll want 3.0), case size and the such. Then find one that appeals to you! Your case is what you look at, not the components inside, so you might as well get the one that is 'pretty' to you.
