I'm planning a GPU upgrade soon and I don't think my old faithful NZXT beta case house anything more. So would anyone kindly recommend a case that can house The following :

Corsair H60
At least 2 case fans
GA-890GPA-UD3H
AMD 6950 + GTX 470
1 Hard drive (>.<)
1 DVD/CD drive.

I realize that some of those specs aren't relevant in picking out a case, but I'm just that bit paranoid.

edit : preferably more budget cases. <$80.

why would you put those 2 video cards together?

How big of case are you looking for? The Raven series from Silverstone are very nice cases, and the NZXT Phantom is great. If you are looking for something a bit smaller try a Fractal Design Case. They are well built and can fit the largest video cards.

It's not what you do, it's how well you do it.

Well, I've only heard good thing about CoolerMaster you could go with their COOLER MASTER RC-690-KKN1-GP Black SECC/ ABS ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

but if you wanna stick with NZXT theres, NZXT LEXA S LEXS - 001BK Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case or their NZXT Apollo SILVER NP Silver SECC Steel Chassis ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

but for 80 bucks its hard to get a nice full size tower case, which is the only size case I'd buy, hoping to win the one in the giveaway heh, cause I need to replace my case too heh.

I've got my eye on the CoolerMaster Cosmos S. Mostly because it is a monster that you could bash zombie brains in without hurting the components inside! CoolerMaster is great, but Corsair and SilverStone make awesome cases, too. Hard to pic what would work best for you.

I have a Cosmos S set up for a potential mod in March. We'll see if funds materialize for a $3K machine...
