QUOTE(RyuKageX @ Jun 25 2011, 09:21 AM) Hi, guys, can anyone recommend me a good casing that can fit a hd6990 with a good airflow and cable management? budget would be rm 600 for starter and wont mind increasing it if worthwhile  your budget is high and u can choose from so many casing like corsair 600t and haf-x but just missed the cheapest tj07 ever sold few days ago hahaha
