New case looking at the Corsair Obsidian 650D
Hi
I am looking at a new case for my rig.
At present I have an Antec 902 V3, and it is just to small and cramped.
Especially when using two AMD 6970 in crossfire. I cannot add any more drives and there are wires everywhere.
Awful case mostly because it is too narrow i think
But the Obsidian 650D should be a bit wider and better accommodate the drives and 6970's.
I have also looked at the 800D big tower. But I feel that it is to big and too expensive for my taste.
I am also considering adding water cooling to the CPU and the 650D is ideal in that regard. It is ready for the Corsair H100 radiator and heat sink.
But have I overlooked any good cases out there?
I have had a soft spot for the Corsair Obsidian for quite a while. But maybe something new has been released?

I think I will stick with the 650D, that is a bit more mmm.... traditional. I will order it in a couple of days, can't wait.
Hope I can run a 4,9 GHz without problems then.
I have tested it and it was stable earlier, but a little to hot.
Installed everything in the new case along with the H100.
RPM was reported to be between 100-300 RPM and is supposed to be 2000 RPM when the pump is working.
CPU reached 87 degrees and then everything shut down.
I am now running with the old HSF fortunately everything is still working.
