Hey guys. I'm looking for a full tower case. And I'm aiming big, as in large!

I want a huge case that can fit anything I might throw at it in the future.

So far, the most interesting cases I've found are CoolerMaster HAF X 942 and NZXT Switch 810 cases.

Does anyone know of anything, maybe larger and better, than those that I just mentioned? My budget is not really an issue, but I would prefer one under $200.
 
I've never heard of the Switch 810 myself, but I just looked it up and it looks pretty beast. I like the look of the organization for that case a lot better than the HAF X.
 
The Switch 810 is actually a very popular case believe it or not. I actually like it a lot more than the HAF 942. I'm not very happy with Cooler Master organization in their cases. And I've personally worked in the switch 810 and its pretty awesome.
 
Yea, I'm leaning greatly towards the NZXT but my main concern is whether it will have sufficient cooling capabilities for my 2 are 5970 GPUs. Especially since I'd doesn't have a side vent and I don't have any current plans on watercooling my case.

You guys think there might be an issue there?
 
Just had a look at Rosewill Blackhawk Ultra Super Case and it looks awesome. Anyone here with experience with that case who care to comment?

HAF X 942 is no longer interesting so it stands between Rosewill and Nzxt.
 
Seems your price range is fluctuating. Comparing a $90 case to a $170 is kinda pointless. (Usually) The NZXT would be a way better choice.

And you've only scratched the surface with cases. Look at Lian Li cases, or Corsair cases. Specifically the 400R, 500R, 550D, or vengeance cases.
 
Oh the NZXT is pretty good. I don't know if your into modding cases, probably not, but you can make some slight modifications to it for added cooling and such. I just like it a whole lot more than Cooler master now. Its pretty elegant and sleek too and just looks great.

Edit: I have a Cooler Master 932 in my basement, similar to the 942, and its just sitting there because I've been modifying it and I want to paint it white. I've always tended to do heavy modifications to Cooler Master cases because I don't like the way its structured.

Just my 2 cents btw.

Claptoman: which case is $90? I mean Rosewill Blackhawk Ultra. Those go for just under $200. I don't mean Rosewill Blackhawk, they go for less. I have been building computers since 2005, but I have never been willing to spend too much on a case, don't really know why.

But I plan on doing some serious mods in the future. Right now, I am just looking for a case so I can get my system going.
