I am looking to get ahold of a 780i mobo...when they can stay in stock longer than 5 seconds...and have been reading up on cases that can fit this and handle SLI (2 card at this time).
I have been looking at the Antec 900 and Gigabyte 3D Aurora 570, but depending on where you read, either people love them or hate them. Around $150 is my limit on a case, so no $250 Lian-li or Silverstone's in my future (unfortunately)

Can anyone who is currently running SLI on a 780i board give me your thoughts on your cases? I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks

What cards do you plan on using for SLI?

If anything, my vote would go for the RC-690, its pretty spacious and is very affordable. RC-690 > Antec 900.

The Antec Twelve Hundred, the big brother of 900, will be out soon, and will definitly fit SLI with any card. And it wont be $150+ I think. Anyway, it will be a kick ass aircooling case!

I "plan" on getting the new 8800 gts (G92) 512, and adding a second in the future for SLI.

I'll look into both the RC-690 and Antec 1200. I see that the Coolermaster is listed at www.tosk.co.uk/8800 ...but is the airflow better than the Antec 900? The Antec seems to have much more active airflow, but I'll look more closely.

Thanks for the input!
