New Case Decision For First Build!

[Restriktions]

I am in drastic need of help, i don't know what case to go with, i want a nice case but i dont need to spend an insane amount of money on it, if i only plan on upgrading my computer to crossfire cards do i really need a full tower case and if i do which case should i get, so confused!

The Cooler Master HAF 912 is a popular choice that is cheap but still a quality case

Just look at the reviews below and you will see that it offers one of the best, if not the best value case for its price range.

Check out the Rosewill Thor Case on Newegg, great quality and in my opinion, it's pretty badass. I bought it like a year ago, everything about it is great, keep in mind though, its big and heavy. As far as quality goes, its superb, some of it being steel.
Also keep in mind their are LEDS AND four fans included...

White Edition (what i bought)

What are you doing in this build and what is your actual budget on the case?

My budget case of choice is the Zalman Z9+, its a great case for its price.

Up from that, i recommend the Coolermaster HAF-XM.

Above that its largely much of a muchness, there isnt overly much difference between the higher end cases. Get the one you like the look of and supports the features you want.

No you dont "need" a full tower for dual Crossfire/SLI, but the added size does help since the cards wont be choked for air.
