if this case had 30mm of additional clearance above the top drive bay, was an inch or so wider, and had a good way to hide cables, it'd be close to perfect:

The Switch 810 can hold 600x120mm of rad space with internal fans and radiators and will support an sli setup no problem.

Thanks for the recommendation. That was a decent prospect until I went to look at one in real life. It was a little too tall, and I didn't think it was very good looking (again, no offense to 810 owners!).

Hmm... Not sure if there are any short cases that can easily hold 600x120mm of rad space and support sli. thinking.gif

I'm okay with just a 360 on top. I'm just trying to find more companies so I can see more case ideas. The mountain mods and case labs were great finds, and I know I'm missing some off-the-radar companies.

Very tempting and intimidating. With your skills, can you think of a good way to hide cables in this guy: http://www.mountainmods.com/monticle-24-cyo-custom-computer-case-p-500.html

Mostly because taller than that looks ugly and bulky. 20" is ideal, but I'm open to ideas!

Maybe wait for caselabs to unveil their merlin series cases. I heard they'd be wc freindly and smaller form factors for the mainstream enthusiasts.

I had almost settled on the TJ07 a while back, but I can't find a black one with the MB mounted upside down, and the bevels on the front are a little on the cheezy side. The FT02 is almost perfect, but I can't figure out a way to get a 680 to fit with a radiator stack on the bottom.

And thanks for the link, Goffy. It'll be interesting to see how the concept develops.

Any other help? There have got to be some companies I've never heard of.

I have a 10.5 inch card in my FT02 with all the original dust filters plus the 540 rad. A GTX 680 is 10.00 inches long. I don't see why it wont fit--
