Guys need some opinions.
Not overly educated on cases, so some helpfull advice would be great.

Getting ready to do my next build and am currently case shopping.
The case MUST hold a PA120.3 internally, I am currently looking at these 2 models.

Kinda like the Cosmos alittle more, but not 100% sure the rad will fit.

Parts:
i920
P6T Deluxe
GPU (S) undecided
Corsair HX1000W
Corsair XMS3 Dominator TR3X6G1600C8D 6GB


PA120.3
MCP655
GTX copper top
GPU blocks undecided.......

All my parts are here minus cpu block , case, GPU and board. Going to grab the needed parts on Tuesday...

Ok guys toss your 2cents in

Why not check out Mountain Mods NEW Tower Cases...

The Pinnacle 18 is nice, but I'm lusting for the Pinnacle 24...:slobber:

How many rads you think you can cram into a Pinnacle 24 red?

I know its not intended towards me, but easily a 120.4 at the top and a 120.3 in the front :)

I believe so, it says it on their site if i'm not mistaken.

FROM THE SITE

The Motherboard tray can also be rotated 180 degrees to put your system into Reverse ATX mode. Just swap the security flange of the motherboard tray to the opposite side. Choose from a variety of top and side panels, as well as a variety of finishes, and acrylic colors. The Pinnacle is fabricated by skilled workers in the USA. It is made from thick aluminum making it lightweight, sturdy, and thermally friendly.

You can save some money and buy this Lian Li PC-101 basically the same case as the V1000, but without the front holes everywhere. And the price is very nice $159.99 @ SilverPCs.com (http://www.silverpcs.com/product_info.php?products_id=189&osCsid=68f0d943383a9f440ebfa1d35f131ac3)
