Looking for a nice, spacious BTX casing. Might be running 2 SLi and PhysX. Able to fit in 6 hard disk spaciously + 2 optical drive. Most importantly, must have good airflow.

Budget max RM1k without PSU. Hope it's not too little.

Highly suggest that u get a TJ09, it can fit 6 drives, dedicated mid section air duct just for the display cards but it's not BTX tongue.gif

It's going to be tougher than TJ07 since not all of the TJ09 internals are removable

guys,

actually what do you look into when planning on a casing?
besides:
air flow, amount of fans it can support, weight, space (expansion of ROMS and HDD).. is there anything i left out?
