Downgraded Case Suggestions

[GMPoisoN]

I have to downgrade my case to be able to get the 7990 in my build. I was originally planning on the CM Storm Stryker. Can anyone suggest a case that will fit a 7990 nicely, has a side window, and has decent room for cable management and air flow for less than the Stryker cost? ($150)

OR I could just CF 7970's and keep the shiny case, I just like to imagine having a 7990 in my build

Last week ya cuda "upgraded" your case for $80 $120 - $20 MIR - $20 promo code) with the Corsair 500R, but now they $120 in white and $115 in black

Id choose two 7970s over the 7990 anyway but these days I'm not doing anything in CF.

I would recommend the NZXT Phantom 410, which is presently $85 on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B006I2H084/?tag=pcpapi-20
It wa selected at best out of 15 mid-range cases Tom's tested (http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/solo-ii-400r-buc-ravager-seiran,3274-10.html), and accoring to its spec sheet (http://www.nzxt.com/product/detail/95-phantom-410-mid-tower-case) it will just fit the 7990, so long as you don't also try to mount an internal fan.

If you're dead set on that case you might want to check out CM's website - they often have "refurb" cases in their store. I've built more than one machine from these and everyone has showed up in perfect condition.

This is listed as unavailable right now but you might try to contact them and see if they have any:

Right, considering saving the extra money so I don't have to deal with micro stutter, and for single monitor don't need too much more than 7970 Vapor X GHz edition, so I may use the extra money for just some fun water cooling stuff, going to make a post about it in the gpu section.
