    Re: Best air cooled case that fits a nividia 8800gts/gtx

    Try contacting these guys, www.xcsase.co.uk I found them to be a great help when ordering my case.
    I have an 8800GTX I got an enermax server case in the end, but i don't think they do it any more.
    Loads of room and a nice looking case though

    It does. I have done it. and the 182 allows the neatest builds ever - virtually no cables in the main chamber. takes time though!

    Re: Best air cooled case that fits a nividia 8800gts/gtx

    Eclipse FTW!!!!!!!!

    I would say a P180/2 but you need to remove the top HDD cage as others have probably said before me, no biggie as you can fit plenty of HDD's in the lower cage,.

    I've just changed from the Eclipse to the P180B and I do miss the build quality and internal looks of the Eclipse, although the Antec has it when it comes to silence, such a good case.

    CPU with stock Intel cooler at 30% PWM Cycle it just touches 60 degrees on both cores, and I can't hear the system from 8 feet away with the bottom 120mm fan removed and the top two on low.

    Superb case for silence, bitch to build in (could do with more space behind the motherboard tray and a bigger hole for cables IMO) looks good too.

    Eclipse is a breeze to build in, everything is removeable, acres of space and the looks of it are superb (in my eyes)

    The Akasa Eclipse would get my vote....all the space you could possibly need and great build quality...and only around £80 at the moment...

    Re: Best air cooled case that fits a nividia 8800gts/gtx

    Dunno if they still sell it, but the Gigabyte Aurora might fit the bill. It's pretty big, and has a large perforated side-panel:

    http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/200..._aurora_case/1

    It's a nice case, and I've had one for years. However, you won't be able to fit in a graphics card that is longer than a GTX 260, as the drive cage gets in the way.

    This thread is nearly 3 years old. I am sure that he has picked a case already.
