Which case?

I'm really having trouble deciding which case to buy with my build.

Here's what I looked at.

Coolermaster Cosmos S:

CM Cosmos 1000

Thermaltake Spedo

Thermaltake Armor Plus
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811133056

I'd like something with the PSU on the bottom.

I like the Cosmos S because it's beautiful. However, with my last build, it didn't quite work well with two GTX 260s and a 780i mobo. the expansion slots didn't line up correctly and caused my cards not to be read. So an X on this case if it's with the 780i.

Armor plus is nice because it has 10 expansion slots. I need a lot! I will be taking up 4 for my video cards, plus 4 more. The more, the better.

So, if anyone can find me something with more than 7 expansion slots, bottom PSU, and something that looks nice, let me know. It's got to be a full tower!

its pretty cheap for a well built case.

Those are nice, but let me respecify my needs:

7 Drive bays

7+ expansion slots

I'm going to have two hard drives that need to be in a 5.25 slot because they will both have hard drive coolers on them. Is this possible? can someone help me find a case that would allow this?

Lian Li pc-80 if you can afford it, think the psu is at the bottom, if not, then the cosmos s is great, worked with it before, very easy, and the HDD storage is great

I've had the cosmos s before. I loved it! i wish i could have it again, but can't because the GTX 260's would not line up with the expansion slots properly, causing them to be unrecognized.

In that case, the armour+ from thermaltake, or lian li pc 80b are your best bets

I thought you were building your own PC? why are you set on 2 GTX 260's....

Get the 4870 X2......

because I had originally had a PC from cyberpower with that configuration. It was DOA so I returned it.
