Been thinking of getting a new case since I now run 2 PSUs.
I used to have a Mountain Mods Ascension CYO that could run 2 PSUs but I sold that a while ago and got the Cooler Master Cosmos 2.
The Cosmos 2 can't run 2 PSUs and it's starting to feel cramped (LOL) for my rig.
I went on the CaseLabs site and tried to configure the cases - either SMH10 or Magnum TH10 - but it isn't really clear to me which one would be the 'best' for my setup.
A couple of things:
1.) I am NOT going to do any custom water-cooling - the only 'water-cooling' I'm doing is the Kraken X60.
2.) I would like to use 4 140mm fans on the Kraken X60 radiator (right now, only 2 fit on in the Cosmos 2 since the CPU connectors block the way - ie. the motherboard is too far up on the case for the radiator to fit there AND have 2 fans above & 2 below.
The SMH10 seems to have the same issue as the Cosmos 2 as far as the motherboard being too far up - I wonder if I can fit 4 fans on the radiator without having to get the pedestal.
For the same price, the Magnum TH10 seems much bigger but I wonder if it would a huge waste for mostly air-cooling.
I'm really torn between the two cases so I would really appreciate some help/advice on which one would suit my X79 Monster (aka Uber Rig) the best.
Thanks in advance.
