Getting ready to order my 3rd DS system. My dilemma is the case. The system I will be replacing is housed in the HAF 932. I love the Hailstorm 2 along with the Adventum case, however they are to large for where I would put them. I could go with the 942 HAF X as the size would work fine. I also like the syndicate case. Any of you care to give opinions on the new Corsair Carbide air 540?

What I am looking for in a case......

room enough for good airflow, multiple fan options.

Liquid cooling options, bigger rad(s) the better.

SLI Nvidia 780’s or Titans

Multiple drives, hot swap a plus

Basically room enough for swapping out / working on replacing Hard Drives, graphics cards and such.

I am not opposed to buying a case and shipping it to DS, or having DS acquire said case.

Any ideas are welcome

Cheers
Chuck

What about the new VIRTUE chassis?

We will offer the new Air 540 when it is launched.

The Air 540 has pretty good reviews. Cases are such a personal decision its tough to make suggestions.   I like the looks of Hafx and Hailstorm 2 over the cube look but that's just me.

If DS builds it, any case will perform.

Pretty much!

Personally, if I ever get a Air 540 case, I'm modding it to look like a Borg Cube.

Virtue looks good, however I am not sure about the new K series CPU. Is this CPU the only option?

Like the 800d but I am some what limited to the dimensions of height 25" depth 22" width is not really an issue.

Any thoughts on the In Win H and D open air cases?
