    Corsair Obsidian800D

    Alrighty guys, I'm in love with this case. My PSU is a HX 850W Corsair & my cooler is an H70.

    The case is awesome...but a bit too expensive, sadly. Anyone have a great case recc. that's good as well for the cooler with plenty of space for a 10.5" GPU?

    Until now...

    1. NZXT Phantom
    2. HAF 932 (blue edition)
    3. Antec Twelve Hundred
    4. ???

    Anyone? I'd like to get a similar case to the Obsidian 800D thought, it's that amazing to my eyes.
    Thanks,
    Chicken

    I'd stay away from the Antec 1200, cable management is bad.

    I bought an 800D and I was actually a bit disappointed in the cable management of all things... the case has no more room than my Cooler Master HAF860 in the space between the motherboard tray and the rear side panel, which is pretty small when you consider how thick the 24-pin ATX connector is.

    I actually need to tear apart the PSU and redo the routing on the ATX connector... I think I might be able to reroute it at get a bit more slack on the very tight cable :x.

    I really liked the looks of the 800D. Too bad

    And as of now I'm planning on the phantom. Apparently airflow is amazing and the cable management is incredible, if you look up reviews.
    No doubt HAF is good, but I'm not a fan of its looks. I really like how modern and clean the 800D was.

    I own a 1200 and have had no issues with cable management.

    OT: I would go with either the 1200 or the HAF, i would have both if i could but at the time the 1200 was cheaper :P
    Although with the 1200 an extension to your 24pin will most likely be requires if you want to route it through the back.

    I think the case choice isnt too great as of 2011 as far as I'm concerned for mid/full tower cases with specific reqs. There's only like 5-6 cases I've even dared to look up (of my tastes ofc)

    800D is a bit...crazy as far as prices go. NZXT Phantom should suit your needs more than fine, it's absolutely massive, sexy and fully supports watercooling. Hell the 45-page NZXT Phantom thread on Overclockers has the majority of people using watercooling >_<
