Looking for a case

post #1 of 12

Thread Starter 
Hey guys, I'm looking for a new case. I just bought a X79-UD7 board off of eBay, so I need a case that can fit a 12.76 x 9.96 form factor. I have a Silverstone TJ08 case, but sadly it is not able to fit an XL ATX board. I've only ever used Silverstone cases, and I'm a bit spoiled because of the excellent airflow, great build quality, and relatively clean cases the company has to offer. I've looked at the TJ11, but I don't have 600+ dollars to shell out on a case.

Basically I'm looking for a case that can fit the X79-UD7, has good air cooling, and isn't a dust magnet. No cases over $300.

Rest of my components:

EVGA GTX 680
G.Skill Sniper 8GB
Noctua NH-D14
i7 3930k
Auzentech Forte
Crucial M4 256GB
WD Raptor 600GB x 2
LG Blu Ray drive
Antec Signature SG850W

I plan on adding another GTX 680 if I can find one in stock somewhere.

I'm pretty sure the Raven doesn't support XL-ATX boards though doh.gif

I heard the 800D is exceptional for water cooling, not so much for air cooling.

I'm trying to stay under $300 so I can save up for an additional GTX 680. Even $300 is a bit of a stretch right now. smile.gif

Silverstone cases are fantastic, but as I've stated they don't fit XL ATX boards, besides the TJ11...
