Hi!
Recently got Gigabyte mobo GA-890FXA-UD7 and Phenom II 1100T BE, and understood that my new mobo doesn't fit in my old case because of new gigabyte form factor XL-ATX. As I understand HAF-X is probably the best choice in price group under 200$. The question is maybe I can get something cheaper? I don't play games too much and I wouldn't go for crossfire I'll probably will use only one graphics card, may be two but not more certain (well if someone would ask why I ended up with such mobo then, answer is simple, got it as a present from friend), I also intend to OC 1100T probably somewhere about 4000-4100 Mhz and place Noctua NH-D14 cooler. I also don't need case to have some beautiful forms transparent lids and many led accessories shinning (cause nobody will see it
) all I need is good airflow and robust case. I found in our markets (in Europe) such case as Antec VSK 1000-EU for approximately 65-70$ , it has 8 expansion slots so as I understand it must fit my XL-ATX mobo, does anybody knows is it worth it or still I should go for HAF-X or maybe there are other good and cheap cases?
