Looking for a highly specific case

[yoshimania]

Hey guys,

I really am looking to start making my second build, but I can't find a good case that meets my requirements. Here are the requirements:

Needs to be under 15" tall The reason for this is that I am going off to college soon so I don't want to take a huge computer to college and then back to my parents house when I have holidays. That is why a case under 15" would be really ideal for me. Currently I'm looking for an mATX mini tower because this way I could SLI in the future instead of having to turn down the graphics settings.

Needs to have room for a total of 480mm square space of radiators I'm going to have a 240mm liquid cooler for my CPU, and then buy a GTX 980 Ti Hybrid, which has one 120 mm radiator and fan attached. If I plan to SLI, I will need two 120 mm radiators

Those are my only requirements, however I'm having a really difficult time finding a case that fits this build. My only price restriction is that the case must be under $150 USD.

Thanks a lot!
Yoshi

What's the radiator support for the Bitfenix Prodigy M?

dont know it says Cooling Top 120mm x 2 (optional)
Cooling Bottom 120mm x 2 (1 included) or 200mm x 1(optional) or 230mm x 1 (optional)
Cooling Rear 120mm x 1 (included) or 140mm x 1 (optional)

would have to look on you tube to see if all those fan placements will take radiators as well

if you can fit 480mm of rads in there some one on you tube will have

heres one i havent heard of as well--not sure if can just squeeze 480mm of rad in there

any way why not just use a 120mm rad on the cpu? would make your job a lot easier

this one should fit the bill its not too tall but its wider and will take 480mm of rads

Would the Fractal Design Node 804 be good?

yeah thats a similar shape to the last one i linked the corsair so will take the rads

not familiar with that case but fractal design do make some decent cases

though must admit i love all the colour choices of the bitfenix
