Default case recommendation
I need a recommendation on a case. I would like it to be cheap as possible.
What I値l be having in the case

Eventually 3 gpu
1 or 2 hdd
2 optical

It値l be air cooled and probably run 24/7 once it痴 complete or almost complete.
It does not need to be fancy with all the leds, windows etc. I would like it to have good airflow and durable. Every summer it値l have to go into storage probably because I may not be able to take it back and forth from school to home.



thanks

HAF for $170ish or 690 for $100ish.

The HAF 932 is really an awesome case, if you can afford to make the move up to a full-tower. Roomy, with great airflow, which is something you'll need to consider, especially if you plan to make the move to tri-SLI some time in the future.

The Element S for $130 is a great choice as well if you're looking to keep to a mid-tower size. Conveniently, you can check out the review in the review section here on HWC.
