New Gaming Case

[Retaliator]

Hello, Im looking at a few cases atm, Main question is, is the Corsaior 900D worth the money if I dont plan to go full loop Liquid Cooling? Also thoughts on this case as an alternative http://www.nzxt.com/product/detail/96-phantom-820-full-tower-caes.html or any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Case to run 2-3 graphics cards on an XL-ATX M/B with excellent cooling.

Cheers for advice advance.

I think you need a big cooler to cool those cards so I suggest something like this:

CM storm stryker. It is best and fits everything you need and it is around $150.

Thank you.

What's your budget for the case?

The main advantage of something like a 900D is its impressive water-cooling capability, to not water-cool in that case would be losing a lot of its value. Whether its other aspects make up for that, that's for you to decide.
Another good water-cooling case the Phantom 820 is, when your looking at this high end you will find that water-cooling support is practically a must.

In terms of air cooling support, all will be about the same. Your main issue with temperatures will be because the cards are packed against each other, not really due to a lack of airflow through the case.

Some nice cases in their, I have no budget just building an over the top gaming pc I admit its mostly gonna be wank factor but no budget.

Basically im looking for the best air cooled over-the-top gaming case that will also be great for full loop LCS (possibly including GPU's in the LCS loop) Cheers.

Considering the level of hardware you have, if you were to put it in a loop you would need a massive case to handle all the radiator space, or look into an external rad-box option if you wanted a smaller case but still have everything under water.

The best possible case would be a MountainMods/Caselabs monstrosity, they are absolute beasts in how much hardware they can handle. Something like a Caselabs M8?
