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.

If it's a workhorse ur lookin for --> the old Stacker (not the new sh1t)

You can whack everything but the kitchen sink inside.

CM stacker 810 and
TT Shark
both are tower casing and around the same price. i'm still at lost at which is better compare to the other...

pls don't tell me lian li is better... i know it's good but i can't get lian li in penang!

so guys, in terms of peformance and price ratio...please enlighten me.
other suggestion of other case are welcome.

regards,

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

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?
