High End Micro Atx

[peter_parker]

Hi Guys

I have to lug around my rig a lot, and I was wondering if anybody knows of any high end Micro ATX cases, small as possible for the rig below :

2 x Radeon 5970
i7 965
Asus Gene II

I was looking at the thermaltake lanbox, will my 5970's fit?

Thanks

You going to suffer finding a Micro atx case with large enough space for the cards. I don't think the Thermaltake is big enough google reviews about it.

Why not just get the cooler master scout rather?

How long are the 5970s? If they're longer than a GTX285, they won't fit.

Try the Lian Li V351. You'll have to remove the 5.25" rack though.

Other option which will work for sure are:
Lan Gear's Da Box
Antec P180 mini

You can can also consider this: http://www.anandtech.com/tradeshows/showdoc.aspx?i=3710&p=3

I like the Lian Li and "Da Box" Most though.

I wouldn't get a micro ATX case for that setup. The chances of having enough cooling are zero to none. Do yourself a favour and find a medium sized box thats easy to carry like the Storm Scout mentioned earlier. Although the scout is too small for 2x 5970, you'd have to mod it a bit Scout mod for 5970. With 2x 5970 you have sacrificed mobility, and will more than likely need a full size case. Maybe get something with wheels? There are quite a few towers that have wheels to make it easier to move.
