Bubbaxm2 Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdm_freek Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 i really like the horizontal layout of the xb and the cable management is a breeze Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ir_cow Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 whats your price range? edit: also are you stuck on the cube design? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
El_Capitan Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 (edited) 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. Edited October 27, 2014 by El_Capitan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ir_cow Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 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 Phanteks Enthoo Pro AZZA XT1 Thermaltake Core V71 NZXT H440 (Maybe, I ran Titans folding for a day and the metal becaues extermely hot to the touch. Thermaltake V71 was able to handle three cards folding easily. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
