BIG Case suggestions ?

[Snowman]

Here is the dragon rider I just got and my new mobo

This one is blurry but gives you an idea of the size

Thanks, yeah, I've been thinking about radiators as well, (the one good thing about the MM cases is bucket loads of radiator/fan mounting options and keeps the PC all in one as opposed to my current setup).

I've thought about changing the thin rad which sits in the Koolance EXOS and cools the CPU, mainly, for something fatter, and relocating the memory in the loop to get cooler water to it, I honestly didn't realise memory gets that hot

For the GPU's I then also though about jury rigging another rad into the GPU loop suspended below the Big Boy fan plus 2x120 fans in push/pull, but I initially wanted to keep the Big Boy fan unobstructed to aid in venting the heat from within the case.

Ah well best go speak to the bank manager aka the significant other

Thanks a lot !, I've looked at that one and a few more of the case reviews, great reviews, unfortunately in a world obsessed with thin low fat things, women, pc cases, mayonaise (sp?), etc. I want a FAT 'UN

I've been casting a weary eye over my graveyard of old PC's and wondering if the self custom job might be a possibility

Cooler Master HAF X, or BitFenix Colossus. Both are huge.

[Fuganater]

I'm looking at the HAF X as well an it seems to be the biggest, best case for the price. The Colossus is huge but uber ugly.

[Oneslowz28]

I can attest to the HAF X being one of, if not the best full towers on the market today.

The Bitfenix colossus series are very nice as well but the door is off-putting to some. Thermaltake's closest in room is either the Armor A90 or the Level 10 GT.
