case recommendations

[jdm_freek]

so i am currently using an coolermaster storm sniper that i have had for around 3 years and its showing its age.

i am looking for a case that uses the cube form factor that will support my board and 2  r9 290's

i am familiar with the coolmaster haf xb evo great case but its huge 

any suggestions

I can say that the Coolermaster Haf Xb Evo is a great case with plenty of room for everything you will put in it, but yes it is big as far as cubes go, just not sure I would want to swap it for another now that I know how well it works. Replacement parts for it are dirt cheap through Coolernaster as well and you can even order a top that already has plexi in it if you like.

 

Only other case that I have given a thought since I bought the Xb is the Corsair Air 540. It's a pretty decent looking case with a slightly smaller footprint with the motherboard being mounted vertically.

i really like the horizontal layout of the xb and the cable management is a breeze

whats your price range?

 

edit: also are you stuck on the cube design?

I have the Coolmaster Haf XB Evo, and it is big (horizontally-wise). It does have some limitations, but won't limit anything you've mentioned.

 

You might want to try out the Carbide Series Air 540 Cube Case. It's more of a rectangle than a cube, though. I love it, though.

I don't know many cube cases unfortunately. These are my suggestions based on price limit and about the heat two video cards, let alone R9 290s produce

 

These aren't in order and can be find on sale much cheaper than retail
