Default Need a full size case, help.
Picking a full size case (needs to be large at least, in my mid atx right now the graphics card (hd3870) is interfering with the hdd (only half/one cm apart).
Preferably under 70 USD. If it has a power supply up to like 100USD. Are the PSU's in Apevia cases generally stable?
I was looking at these...

A really large case would be the cooler master cm690. It is around $75-80 w/o power supply.

Apevia powersupplies are HORRIBLE. Do NOT use them.

As for a full tower, check out the Ultra Aluminus.

and a PSU to go into the would be a good 700W, that would top it off nicely.

Don't really need a 700watt PSU, that computer will probably draw a max of 350 watts.

wouldnt call the CM690 a really large case, its still only a mid tower.
I have it and am very happy with it though, very nice looking case

all i have to say i do not buy an apevia that comes with a power supply, as i currently own the x-navigator that comes with the 500w psu. its just awful my computer only starts up 1/3 of the time because of a lack of voltage stability and my rig isnt even that demanding. not to mention the case itself is cheap and crappy (thin plastic for a door shouldnt count) i doubt you can find a good quality full tower case for less than $100. thermaltake makes the best full tower cases but theyre $$$
