Question I need a new case from Antec 900 need some advice!
I am currently using antec 900.

here's simple spec of my rig
E8500/GA-X38-DS4/3870x2 + 3870/Lapped T.R.U.E. Air-cooling

1. When I installed 3870x2 last time, there was no space between the first PCI-E slot and the middle HDD bay. so I had to move the second bay to the very bottom to fit 3870x2 on first PCI-E slot.

2. There is only 6 3.5 bays, I want at least 8.

Now, I am plan to move on to Quad-GPU.
I need a new case which is bigger so I can put 2 3870x2 and cools like Antec 900.

Anyone has an idea what case will perfectly fit in my situation..?
Thanks.

Thanks for the comments first!

My budget is around $200, but willing to spend some more depends on the case.
Antec 1200 was my first choice, but I'd love to try some different brands such as Lian-Li or Thermaltake.

The one 'gibsonnova74' recommends is quite nice in terms of its size and HDD caps.

The reason I want to go for another brand is, from my experience, it was very hard to manage cables in Antec 900.
