Default What case to get to fit my XP-90

I currently cant put the side back on my case since my XP-90 and Fan won't get any access to air. Can you guys recommend a case that is wide enought for these tall heatsinks (i also have a 92mm vantec tornado on it).

Sorry that no one has responded yet

But I will try to help. The XP90 is not really a big heatsink IMO, but I guess if you have a skinny case it doesn't work too well. Almost any full Tower case will fit it, but if you don't want anything that big, then I know the Lian Li PC65 will fit it, and any of the wider ones...Thermaltakes cases will also fit it, not sure about other ones

I highly reccomend both the Antec P180 (getting one this month) and the NZXT Nemesis Elite (the case I have now) both fit any heatsink and are plenty wide enough for a XP90 which by the way is a pretty small heatsink, which case do you have? It must be tiny lol.

What kind of case do you have? Pics? How much space do you have in between the side and the fan? I only have about an inch of space in mine and I have great temps.
