    Hello all,
    i've been building me pc bit by bit for a while now, adding extra bits when i could, so far i have an, i7 920 @3.5, asus p6t, 6gb 1600 ram, xfx 850w psu, h70 watercooler kit, 2 hdd's and 2 optical drives, and 5850 crossfire. I have all this crammed in an nzxt apollo case, i have cut an extra 120mm fan hole on the side panel, but i gotta still run all fans loud to keep gpu's under 50c. Any suggestions on a nice big case with lots of airflow??? I like big stuff!
    many thanks,
    brian.

    You didn't give a budget but a Coolermaster HafX is a good starting point.

    Have a look at the Silverstone range and as said, the HAF-X.

    As other's have said Silverstone RV02/03, FT02, Haf X or Haf 932 if you like that sort of look, or even the Xigmatek Elysium

    I'm running a HAF 932 and whilst it's a beast of thing I kinda like it. Undersated just that little bit not over the top like other cases. Reasonbly quiet too. Plus loads of room for tidy wiring. And comes with 4 fans already fitted. xD

    I know its a bit old now but for cooling the Antec 1200 is still there with the best of them. Just check out the bit tech review of the latest cases and you will see the 1200 near the top

    agree with this also, was going to suggest it, but feel the 1200 is a bit dated now, although I think antec have just done a v3 version with USB3 and i'm not sure what other changes, but I used to have one and I must say it was a very good case for air cooling :)

    you can have too much airflow going in the wrong directions sometimes
    I made the mistake of adding three 120 fans in the side panel of my Lian Li PCa77 (the big one probably some more letters or numbers in that I have forgot) and it made it worse
