Recommend me a Case for liquid cooling and Mobo

Can anyone recommend me a case that is suitable for liquid cooling. Budget is around $300. Will be placing on my computer desk (Too bad those reverse ATX casing are out of budget), hopefully not too heavy. Going to setup crossfire R9-290 cards. Thanks.


Updated. Also looking for a not so expensive mobo + CPU combo. Motherboard needs to have this features

1) 2 x PCIe slot for CF
3) 1 x legacy PCI slot for my audio card.

Hardly can find any which legacy PCI slot in Z87 series (cheaper ones).

750D looks big and cool enough.

Carbide 540 maybe the width looks big.

By the way, what about NZXT Switch 810? still selling in singapore? (cant find in pricelist)

■3 x PCIe 3.0 x16, 2 x PCIe 2.0 x1

- 3 x PCI Express 3.0 x16 slots (PCIE2/PCIE4/PCIE5: single at x16 (PCIE2); dual at x8 (PCIE2) / x8 (PCIE4); triple at x8 (PCIE2) / x4 ) (PCIE4) / x4 (PCIE5)
- 2 x PCI Express 2.0 x1 slots
- 2 x PCI slots

U selective reading ah??? Can consider msi z87 g43 as well.

Oh, pardon me. First time in Ascrock homepage. Thought it only shows the summary information of the board, not only the "specification" tab is shown on the left side.

If you are gonna go for CF/SLI, best is to get z87 boards. Reason from royfrosty is that the B85/h87 board 2nd pci-e x16 runs at x4 when in CF. It will bottleneck the CF. Best to have x8, in which most z87 should have.

Can download the manual to take a loot.

You got to search harder. I saw it in fuwell top area above theor shutter got a 750D. Not sure they do sell display or not. Have your tried tradepac? Have you tried mynextcom? Im sure they should have.

Why not increase budget and get a 900D?
It can do double 480mm for your dual 290 plus CPU.
