New case

[blair]

Hi,

Im after a new case i was recommended to get the Cooler master 690 II Advanced but the thing that worries me is the limited space for high end GPU, as GPU's are getting larger each time they bring new ones out and my 5870 will only just fit i think the case will not be future proof.

Are there any other cases that can do water cooling and have a side panel and good cable management.

Would you consider the Corsair 650D. Its got much more room in it and it will take a 240MM rad in the roof. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Z5Z4OtlOtc

TY for suggestion but that case looks horrible for me but a lot in water cooling id like enough space for more than one 240mm rad as i may water cool 2 gpu's and the cpu later. If only gpu's weren't getting so dam big the 690 II Adv would be bought in 1 min with no hesitations.

This case http://www.fractal-design.com/?view=product&prod=57 supports 470mm Cards, if you remove the top HDD bay, which still leaves you with 4 HDD bays to use. I think it also has quite a lot of watercooling potential.

Budget?

What style of finish and shapes?

"Side panel" fan?

Materials?

Colours?

Any other features to build around.

If he doesnt like the 650D I highly doubt he will like that case though. Its almost the asme looking.

oops sry about that

Thanks for the help budget is around £100 but might stretch a little if its worth it

needs good cooling need to come with some fans too i like the 690 2 ADV but im worried new gpu's wont fit.

so everything the 690 2 ADV has but can accommodate larger cards.

what do you guys think of this Cooler Master Enforcer its has room for a 240mm rad which is what i need a side window can accommodate large gpu's when the top HDD rack is removed and has a black interior with cable management.
