Hi all

I am looking for a Large case that can accommodate the following items

2x Gigabyte AORUS GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Waterforce Xtreme Edition
1x Fractal Design Celsius S36 Liquid CPU Cooler

I am looking for a case that has good airflow and is pleasing to look at which includes a clear side panel.

Any suggestions would be appreciate and if at all possible links to your suggestions would be appreciated also.

Thank you all in advance.
 
Hi

The retailer i use is https://www.pccasegear.com/

My current case is a Cooler Master HAF which is no longer available

They have a pretty good selection of cases.
Honestly just find any Mid Tower case that supports ATX boards, which is pretty much 90% of the cases out there, and find one you like. Hard to go wrong. Cases are all personal preference.

I personally like Fractal cases. So the Define C is my go to. If you get anything less than a 45mm rad in the front you could put a rad in the front with fans to cool the waterblocked 1080ti's. You just wouldn't fit a res in between and would need to find a spot for it.
If you need more space than the Define S is more than capable.
 
Thank you all for your advice.

All your advice has given me some food for thought when picking my case, my local retailer gave some more food and suggested the Thermaltake Core X71 Full Tower Case. anyone know this case and could give their thoughts?
 
Most here are thermaltake haters due an issue awhile back where thermaltake was copying others ideas. I’ve used the core x9!snow edition which was one of those copies. Thermaltake has good build quality the x71 is a monster case and should house a good deal of water cooling parts easily. Look at the view 71 looks like a good case as well.

The issue of the hate also went on before the copying I should mention as the earned a name thermaltacky due to subpar quality but as I said they have gotten a lot better in that area.
 
it says it supports 360mm rads but since I have only a 280 (with 140mm fans on top and bottom and still plenty of room between it and the motherboard) I cant confirm but I have 3 x 120mm fans at the front

Corsair Graphite 780T White Full Tower Case is available at PC Case Gear and the good thing is that it has plenty of depth at the rear for cable management ..just a pity it doesnt have a shroud at the bottom . Panels are very flexible..some say to much

there is a review by TinyTom https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G27mu4FemmU&t=394s

Looks fine to me. Plenty of room too. I don't mind TT's cases (well, some of them) I just don't like their WC gear.
