Good case to fit 9800GTX?

[bnason]

So, I have a sh*tty old Antec case and just bought a 9800GTX. I could just BARELY get the damned thing to fit. Literally had to redo all of my cabling as I have about 1/2" of clearance between the end of the 9800GTX and my drive bays.

Going to be upgrading soon and would love some recommendations for a good case that will fit nicely with a 9800GTX card.


Thanks!

How big do you want it? If you want huge go for mozart tx lol. If you want medium antec 1200 or 3d aurora 570 or that cosmos case.

coolermaster cm690 its cheap and big enough
if you have a best buy around see if they have any more of the rocketfish lian li cases left for 49.99
i have a rocketfish lian li and a 9800gx2...i still have room to park a buick in that case

Sheesh -- that Antec 1200 is $200. More than I can afford on a rig.

What's it bring to the table that the cm690 doesn't?

I can't find it on newegg -- is the CM690 you guys refer to the "RC-690" case listed here?

I agree 100% with smokie mcpott and i have two 8800GTS 512mb in my 690.So either case will work great.personally id go with the rocketfish its awesome.Only reason i haven't bought one is because it wont fit on my desk its to tall.And wouldnt you know it the best buy near me still had 3 left last week for $45.99
