New Case for new build

[TImmy]

Looking at purchasing a new case since the rise in price for lexan doesn't seem cost effective to build a case
so after much searching I have narrowed my choices down to the following 3 and would like some input from
others. I do have to fit 2 RX480 rads in the case also but am interested in hearing opinions of those who have
used or worked with some of the following case's. Merry Christmas to all Timmy

Danger Den
DD **Double Wide Tower** - 21 Black Series Edition
The Double Wide Tower 21 Black Series is what the doctor ordered for extreme, massive cooling!! Multiple radiator support (one 360 radiator, two 480 radiators, and one 160 radiator). If you want to do a dual loop...no problem. Plenty of space!!

I would go with the Caselabs, their cases are just gorgeous. I'd avoid the Mountain Mods simply because they provide ZERO cable management for their cases. I currently have a Danger Den case and love it, but with Case Labs they seem to give you more options for expandability.

Wait for my review to be posted the first week of January, it will be worth the wait.

Ok looking forward to it, i am guessing your doing reveiw on case labs?
its hard to be paitent when you got all of your parts for the new build
but the case. Like a kid waiting on christmas. Lol

[TImmy]

Stan I've been looking at the tx10 case and its hard not to buy it. By chance do you have a tx10 or mh10 in from case labs your reviewing?
I've looked at the other manufactured cases but seems like I should just by case labs. How about your two cents Doctor.

Post some pics, please. We want to see too.

Good thing you didn't wait on the review for it, very nice case congrats.

[TImmy]

Here is a link to photo bucket with pics of case with my options. As you can see this thing is a beast. If it won't fit in this case you don't need it.
If you run phase change cooling there is plenty of room in this case for that also. I may get with Cyber Druid for a waterfall that will fill 10 slots for
both sides.

Holy sh*t does it hold multiple mobos?

[TImmy]

Holy sh*t does it hold multiple mobos?

Mine does not hold dual mobo's if you order the TX10D it will. one on each side of where the door opens.
Huge case you can not go wrong with this beast unless you are limited on room but my wife thinks it looks
great. She also supports me buying any part I want to build this to whatever standard I like. I think shes a
keeper. lol

[PoLoMoTo]

Lol, so gonna fill it with a dual processor X79 setup? XD

[TImmy]

No this build will be based on the FX 6100 AMD. Just something to play with until FX II comes out.

She's a keeper alright. Beautiful case. Congrats. Looking forward to pics of the FX-6100 build. BTW, when can we expect FX II?

[Solara2xb]

Wow... that thing is a beast. I would love to put one of those in my office.
