      My case (Antec 900) is absolutely rammed full (GTX970 is a monolith) and I'd like to look at something larger.

      Given an unlimited budget I'd grab a Lian-Li because they're gorgeous.

      However I don't have unlimited funds!

      What large ATX cases do you use / recommend?

      • Must support 240mm radiator (H100i or similar)

      • Minimum 5 internal 3.5" bays

      • Must fit 280mm / 11" video cards (plural!)

      • Bonus: looks awesome and is not hello kitty themed.

      • Bonus2: bottom mounted PSU

      • Bonus3: easy cable management (I do not have a modular PSU)

        My favorite by far is the new Antec S10 ( $450 after rebate )
        http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129224

        It's extremely attractive, and can handle quad SLI.

        Second favorite is the In Win 904 ( $230 )
        http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811108456

        Saw a guy use internal lighting and custom sheathing to make this thing look like a work of future art. Trying to find the link now.

          Technically this is the In Win 901 Micro-ATX version, still.

            @creayt Those are both gorgeous but pushing my price limits! The In Win is super slick with the glass, but $300cdn - I was hoping to keep it under 200.

            What do you think of this one?

              Looks good to me. It'd be even sweeter if you could permanently remove the front door because that grated industrial look inside of it is pretty sexy.

                  So I highly recommend against the black edition of the In Win 904. Mine arrived today and it's pretty bland. The material doesn't look that nice, and they awkwardly chose a red logo on the front of the case which will look bad w/ a variety of internals. Mine is giving off a heavy Christmas vibe against the green and white of my CX750M. That and the silver one just looks so much better in pictures. I'm going to see if I can return mine and get the silver or another case altogether.

                          That is gorgeous... too bad it is upwards of $400.

                            No new case yet! Still using an over flowing Antec900.

                            If I was more inclined to work on my own computer after a day of working on computers, I'd take it completely apart and give it some love. It all does actually fit in the A900 - it's just not pretty and absolutely filthy.

                            I still drool over the Lian-Li's - if you've ever used one IRL you'll know how soft and sexy they are on the inside. They're more than a pretty face with all the gorgeous rolled edges, grommets and nothing to slice you to bits.
