Hey guys im gonna start my own build soon,looking for suggestion for a full Tower Case.

I am currently looking at The Coolermaster Haf X.

Any other suggestions?

The Case MUST support Multi Video cards AMd 6970s with Enough space for Water Cooling etc.

The wider the interior the better to be honest

Thanks for suggestions.


Price Bracket £130

Silverstone Raven 2, Fractal Design XL or Corsair 600D. Some of the bigger Lian Li ones are also on my list of cases I would like that fit your criteria, but they have very high price tags!

Using a Coolermaster Stacker 832 here, again its another large case that supports multiple gfx cards and watercooling internaly with little to no modding.
Most ATX + BTX compatible cases should do you well.

Lian Li are far too expensive,but look the balls,i kinda looking into the Fractal XL......Looks ok,but has 3 zones of cooling to me i would prefer it to be completely open ie.The motherboard is split between the PSU and HD drives.


Any other suggestions would be appreciated as well.



Theres a possibilty of me using 3 x 6970s.....with Water Cooling and a 1350 Modular PSU

Those HAF cases are awesome, especially for the price. If you want wide, those bitches are wide. I have a slightly smaller HAF 922 and i can fit both forearms in there while working on it, and there's about 4 inches between the end of my long GPU and my HDDs.

Thanks......Just Bought Coolermaster HAF 932......looks a great case,very wide,tall,amazing fan intake/outake........no dustfilters though,ill need to fix that.

Also just bough Thermaltake Toughpower 1000wt Modular PSU....so that should be sufficient to run both 6970s

There's a removable filter over the front intake, no? I stretched pantyhose over my intake fans on my HAF 922, securing with long zip-ties. Just gotta give 'em a snap to clear the dust. You can buy made-to-fit filters, but covering my few fans cost me a whole 4 bucks. I don't bother with one over my top output, as I almost never shut off my desktop.

And it makes my computer feel sexy, too.
