Discuss: Is there any Mid-Tower cases that can fit a E-ATX mobo (eg. eVGA X58 Classified)?

Calvin.Lee — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:25:02 GMT

Hi all,

I am looking for a case for my brother and he does has some requirements;

1) A Full-Aluminum Mid-Tower case
2) The case must be able to fit a E-ATX motherboard (eg. eVGA X58 Classified) if needed

Although I know that no Mid-Tower cases will advertise itself that it can fit a E-ATX motherboard but I believe there maybe some out there that the case is large enough to fit a E-ATX in it.

As such, we are looking at a few models in the market;

1) SliverStone Fortress FT-01/02
2) Lian-Li PC-P50WB, PC-60FNW and PC-7FNW
3) Cooler Master HAF 922 (It's not a Full-Aluminum but still an option)

Any advise, guys?

Thank you in advance.

LOTES socket on Gigabyte P55A, only the bracket.
