      2x120 and 2x90 fans (according to newegg) make option A a reasonable choice for cooling 2xgpu's and a modern processor. Option B has 4x80 so it would cool decently enough, but you'd have to invest in 4x$12 high-quality fans to make it not sound like a tornado.

      I really like this one for portability, though:



      2x120mm Vantec Stealth fans (~$12 each) would cool it effectively and relatively quietly.

                It's tied, I forgot to vote.

                The Armour's are very roomy.

                I went with an ernemax Liberty 620. the cables are long enough that I can bring them up into the ceiling of the case, and off to the side of the blowhole fan. It helps that the Then down along the back side and into expansion cards and other devides. Even the PCIe dedicated cables were long enough I really didn't have to go directly through the midbody of the case.

                Probably for most other cases the 620's power cables are so long they'd be a pain, but they worked out perfect for the Armour.





                I use no additional cooling other then stock case and cpu fans and my temps are fine. Even under hours of pounding.

                Play your cards right when your route your wires and the case is essentially empty. I also opted to remove the HD cage from in front of the forward 120, and put my Raptor in a bay. I added a black faceplate cooler. I had to drill and tap few extra holes to secure both properly, but that freed up more inward airflow.

                      Personally I like the style too, plain , but not too plain. And I like the whole intergated front pinhole design.

                        how many more than 3 optical, 4 hd's, and 7 expansion bays do you need?

                        Oh! Oh! I got it! You're putting 2 Mobo's in it?

                            nah you can't lol I wanted to do the same with the alienware ALX called them up and they said no way lol.... But the Lian Li case can be case modded pretty close to the voodoo...


                            I've been always a fan of smaller more compact cases I dont like too much very roomy big on my desk cases... the bigger the case is the more the wires show the thighter the better you can sneak it in true the tight spaces..
