Ok, im getting rid of my fractal arc midi and going full tower.
Case A: NZXT Switch 810 - White or Gunmetal, im undecided.
Case B: INWIN GRONE - White or Gunmetal, yeh, im still undecided.

I will be transferring all my components over to this new case:

i7- 2700k
Gigabyte Z77X UP7
MSI HD7950 Twin Frozr III v2 ( 7970 PCB ) - another later on in year for Xfire
2 X SSD's
2 x 4GB Hyper GenesisX Ram
Seasonic Platinum Series PSU (190mm).
A plethora of fans, a fan controller and temp display in drive bay.

I will be transferring my water cooling stuff over too:
1 X XSPC RX 360 Rad
1 X XSPC EX 240 Rad
1 X XSPC Full Mobo block for above Mobo.
1 x Watercool Heatkiller GPU block + Backplate.
1 X XSPC Raystorm CPU Block
1 x Alphacool D5 Pump + Pump Top.
1 X Bitspower 250mm Z Multi Resevoir.

No fittings as of yet. Whats chance of getting some sponsorship for fittings?
 
im comming to the same realization, but not going to another mass-marketed
case... going CaseLabs SM8. my midi served me well with alot of radiators going
in and out of it. but its time to make a descision to make permanent.

you still gotta hack up a case to get all that and more into it..
so why spend money to not use what you have?

the SM8 vs 810 sizes:
tall: 570mm vs 595mm
depth: 568mm vs 585mm
width: 284mm vs 235mm

the SM8 holds a frickin 480 radiator with ease the 810, you gotta hack, saw, fill
and bolt in new metal to do that. if you are going to water-cool.. use a case
designed for it is all im saying. the SM8 has a footprint small enough to still sit
on a desk and show off its warez.
 
sm8---$380+ shipping
switch 810 $169+ shipping

huge difference in price is a big turn off for most people the switch is perfect for a 360 rad and 240 rad

Yeh the price difference is massive and does sway in the favour of 810. But if you buy the case labs you, probably, will never have to buy a case again.
Grrr so undecided. I can't be arsed entering the competition. Linking, 3d rendering, etc ...nah good luck to someone prepared to put the effort in. Much easier to buy one
