Rosewill Challenger case. Finally retiring this Chieftec Dragon case I had since 2005.

 

It looks like a pretty nice case full of features for only $50 shipped.

 

Internals are carbon copies of the NZXT Gamma, but I think it has more GPU room. Based on this picture of a GTX 580 installed (10.5") it has at least another 0.5" to 1" left of space without having to remove the 3.5" cage.

 

Not entirely sure about the NZXT Gamma in terms of GPU space longer than 10.5".

 

=====

 

Next item to upgrade is probably Video card, but won't be until a few more months. Depending on how GPU intensive Red Orchestra 2 is.

NZXT Gamma has a ton of video card room. Having used both cases before... I like the Gamma better because its normally $10 cheaper. But otherwise they are strikingly similar cases in size and quality.
