Case sizes and features questions

[g335]

Hello

I am looking for a case to go with the FX 8350 build I am doing.

I am looking at mid tower cases, the bigger ones and the smaller ones.

I am finding some good bigger sized mid tower cases and like the features and space but I am finding a problem with some of them. The extra optical drive slots. I am finding some that has 3 plus slots for optical drives. One case even had a space for 5 or 6 I believe, this is a mid tower.

So I am in the situation where I want the features of a bigger sized mid tower, but I dont need all of the optical drive slots and so many hd slots.
Ive looked at the smaller mid sized cases but I usually run into the problem of it being tight spaced and cheap feeling.

Some of the cases I have looked at are;Enermax ECA892Ag, Cooler Master CM 690 2Plus Rev2, Zalman MS800 Plus, INWIN IW-MG136, Corsair CC-9011013-"" 500r, Enermax ECA3270A-G-BL, NZXT Phantom 410-W, Thermal Take Chaser A31 Snow Edition.

I will probably get a NVIDIA 660, or 760. Dont know if I will SLI. Get get one optical drive, SSD, maybe 2 HD. Maybe liquid cooling.

Any suggestions on a case solution?

Go for the Corsair 500r it's a great case.

The bays are there simply because if ya need one, it kinda means ya need the 1st 4" of the case....so what else do you fill the top to bottom with. I'll echo the 500% recommendation....it's the best case I have ever used under $200 and every 2 weeks or so you can get it for $75 - $95 on newegg.

I am thinking about the Corsair or the NZXT 410. What does everyone think about the NZXT?
