Storm trooper or cooler master atcs 840 black... suggest me plz, considering the size of the mobo and space inside the case. Stormtrooper cost 30 euro less than 840atcs
I am building it slowly, as motherboards have lots of problems, also the lga2011 cpu's have lots of problems in rev 1. So I am not in a rush (buying everything except cpu and mobo, keep them for last). I am thinking about asrock, because gigabyte and asus, are known for lots of problems in LGA2011 models.. (they burn!! Get on fire, without reason).

The size for the motherboard is relatively the same except the ATC has a removable motherboard tray where the Trooper does not. Both are nice. I have the same motherboard and I am waiting too. I want the new quad core coming out in Feb 13th. It is alittle stronger than a 2700K but just a little. I can live with that. But I will be using that same board in my Trooper.
Looks like you got it all worked out. Great.. Way to Go with the Caps.. I am Proud and very surprised at the excellent job. Wow, it looks factory.... So Cool !!!!

You know what might work? Use the Mounting holes closer to the panel. that way you miss the Memory and the board. you may get farther down that way. but I have the same board and a Corsair H-100 and I love my set up... My rad is on top. But the best place for a rad is on the bottom. Plenty of room for any size there.
I don't know but Tiger Direct has it for 139.00 right now. They Beat Newegg by ten dollars but I don't know if the shipping makes a difference or not.
