Cases confusion

[Arabicuser]

Hi again,

I still didn't complete one system even i use one now, but i am now wasting over $3000 because i built 3 computers instead of 1 or 2.

Well, 2 days ago i went to buy few things for my first and second build computers, and i bought one case, but i feel it is not a great one, the problem with it is the water cooling system that it came with, the case is Thermaltake Level 10 GT LCS, the design is not bad and even the case inside is not bad, but i rushed and bought it expensive with water cooling system, i shouldn't go with that, i read some reviews and it shows that the cooling system is not so great, so i don't know what i can do with this case, i don't know if i can return it, but if not then i will use it for my Gigabyte mobo not with my Asus RIVE mobo, then which case i should get?
If i return this case then what i should buy for my first build RIVE and second one Gigabyte? I will keep my Thermaltake Overseer for the third build, or if i buy one cheap for the third then i keep this Overseer for the second one.

If i am a millionaire then i will buy one or 2 for you and send it to your address.

Well, i am almost settling on CM HAF X, and i hope if there is a black edition of CM Stryker, but i must check out if i can find one or both black ones available in my area then i will not look back or think much, i checked out newegg.com and i see that Antec has some very high reviews and rating models and none of them i liked as design, could be all or most better than CM or Roswell or TT, but i will go with something in between, i saw that HAF X has really high rates and i liked the design.

The StormTrooper is the same as the hafX .. but on steroids.
The only thing it lacks is a side window .. but outstanding cooling potential
and room .. well it is huge.

just my 2cents .. sales pitch over.(i currently have a hafX, love it too.on air.).c.

Ok, i didn't find it in my area, i will give a call tomorrow to 2 shops and hope to find it, otherwise i will go with HAFX as it is the most closer design i look for and available from one link i found, could be available in the stores also.

the last question will be, if i confirmed the case for my first rig so far, then i will be left with my third rig, still i didn't decide which one, but i feel i may buy again another Thermaltake Overseer that i have which will be for my second rig, it is fine one for not main rig, but then here i can be open to any recommendation if i can find it available in my area but i also prefer the black one, but i can go with white on that third rig as my younger daughter chose the white over black.

personaly i would say, it depends on what your gona put in it.
video card/cards
HDD's , SSD's, how mutch storage+++
cooling option
do you want a large case? ( big tower ) or a normal case ( midi tower )
is the boards ATX or E-ATX ( this is for the standoffs in the case and what the cases support so you dont "burn" your self on that )
good airflow ( since you live in a warm place )

Right, so it should go into long discussion and as long i am new in components world so i may not understand most of the things you telling me and i need more clarifications and also i have ask more to have more wise decision or at least going with what i feel i comfort to use even not value-wise.

Video card will be 1 or 2 or even 3 in the future when the budget increase, i heard i can go up to 4, so i want to see who uses 4 GPUs in his rig, i mean what he/she is doing to need 4GPUs, if i liked what they do then i will do the same, i have 1 SSD for each rig, but i may put one more on only first rig, but sure i will have more HDDs maybe 2 or 3.
I want mid tower, but i wouldn't mind big of full tower as well.
I don't know much about my boards, i have to read about their specifications and details and honestly i am not good in reading so long details in English, i may read 3-5 lines and stop reading, so i will give you the models of my boards and you know about it more.

1. Asus Rampage IV Extreme [in the 1st rig]
2. Gigabyte GA-X79-UD5
3. ASRock Z77-Pro3

I have one case already and the second i have i will return it, what i have and i like it is Thermaltake Overseer RX-I, it has one rig done with Gigabyte and i7-3930K+660Ti, but i will change most components on that one, i may keep that case with Gigabyte mobo but i will take that 3930K for Rampage.

So i am still not sure which third case i should get, i have Thermaltake Overseer as i said and i decided on HAF X for first build, but i am not sure yet about the third one, sometimes i was thinking to go with same Overseer, then another time i think about cheap one, and later i plan to get a better one than Overseer but not as big or expensive as HAF X for second PC and keep that Overseer for the third build, so i didn't confirm the last case yet, any recommendations rather than what you listed above? I checked the models you posted and i found only 1 in the market and i don't think i want to get it, so give me another options.

you dont need more then 2 gpu's.
only benchers would need that menny cards to gain every points they need to get as high as possible.
and yes you DID type about more then 2 gpu's.

you have to choose in the end what case you like.

since you live in a warm place, i would get a case whit good airflow ( to try and push as mutch air tru to cool down things inside the case )
3 or 4 gPu's is a waste of monney, its just to show " i have more cards then you " and in gaming you will not use that mutch to be honest.
1 or mabye 2 ( sli ) is more then enough in resent gaming titles.

About a case with good airflow, so do you have any specific models or recommendations? I am not worry about warm place because i play in my bedroom and it is always cooled by air condition, i never play while i feel warm or hot, so for sure i will keep the room cold when i use any computer.

About no need for many GPUs, i never said i want to go with many cards, i was asking about a case not about how many video cards, and if you mean that full tower case maybe it is just to have a case that can accommodate more components in the future, i found it in very good reasonable price not expensive, so it is no harm.

I think i said about more than 2 monitors not more than 2 gpu's, but if i said about more than 2 gpu's it was maybe a future plan, but i think i will go with 2 gpu's mostly if i needed, but for now all of the cases will be using only 1 gpu's, and at the end, the only case i was looking to use 2 gpu's or more will be the HAF X for my main and it is done with this build, i want t case for my second build or third where i will not go with more than 1 gpu and one of the cases is Thermaltake Overseer RX-I.

Honestly speaking, i am not into Corsair design, and most of them are almost more expensive than that of Thermaltake Overseer, so either i get a Corsair for my second build, or buy something cheaper than Thermaltake but for 3rd build, the third build will not be extreme components.
