Yes, it's mine. I have more pics from when I first got the case in 2013.

Had different backplates/blocks and fittings then. But then I upgraded to GTX 980s and got new blocks and fittings late last year.

Have you looked at Fractal Design cases? The define R5 or R4 are both quite nice:
If I wasn't running the massive custom loop, it would be my case of choice. They make versions with windowed panels as well:

Those Fractal Design cases seem really nice, but they look really wide. I feel like I'd need to check it out in person before I could ever pull the trigger. Then again, I did say I wanted a lot more space. I do like the look, though. Very clean design.

These cases with a stouter design are becoming more common. Wider means extra room behind the motherboard tray for cable routing, and/or room for larger (taller) coolers or radiators, and a little more lateral breathing room for GPUs. The R5 is 2 inches shorter and 1 inch wider than your R400.

Yeah, I just got around to comparing the dimensions. I really do like the R5. It's solid, and it'd definitely have tons of room for the dual-GPU build I plan on putting together this year.

Adding another 770 or getting new cards?
I love my 980s, even though I have mostly been an AMD GPU fanboy for many years. The memory capacity and bandwidth make them ideal for 1440P, but not 4K.

I'm looking to get dual 980s myself. I got my 770 in an emergency because my 660Ti started throwing constant TDRs, and I couldn't do anything without it happening. Against my better judgement I ran straight to Best Buy one night when it had pushed me over the edge and bought the 770 to end the madness. Don't get me wrong, it's a pretty stout little card. It handles damn near anything I throw at it in 1080p, but I figure that if I'm going to upgrade, I'm going to do it big. Once I get my new rig, I'm going to offload most of what's in this one to my girlfriend for her to game on. She plays games all the time on her shitty little 13" MBP and never complains, but I feel like she's suffered through Low settings for long enough.

I'd strongly consider the upcoming 390X because of the HBM. It's probably going to be a game changer in terms of handling high resolution uncompressed textures. 3D stacked HBM is an order of magnitude faster than GDDR5

Thanks a ton! You've saved me much headache! Posted on 3/9/15 at 11:16 am to Neauxla
Back when this was a stereo thread.
