Cooler Master 590/690 or Antec 900?
Need help to find a case that will fit my new MOBO and graf card. Building a gaming computer and i need a case that will be big enough for my card to have room because i have gotten cases in the past that were to small.
I have:
ASUS M3N-HT motherboard
GTX 260 core GeForce card
9750 AMD processor
2 wd 500 HDD
22x cd/dvd/+-rw
Thermaltake 750w PS
Any ideas on a case? or if the CM 590 or 690 will fit?
Or Antec 900?

I've never used the Coolermaster cases, but I have my current setup in an Antec 900 and it houses my GTX 260 decently. If you're planning on putting in several hard drives, your graphics card would probably either block off a slot or come very close to doing so. However, the other slots for Hard Drives are easy to access still. Not a problem because my graphics card only comes close to 1/6 HD slots.
The 900 would house all of your stuff fine, but check if the coolermaster is more spacious or not. Air flow is also top notch in the 900, btw. With all the fans on high it's like a freaking wind tunnel.

The Antec 900. The biggest complaint I've heard with this case is that it is a dust magnet. You will need filters. The Antec 1200 addresses this problem with air filters.

Antec is a better case. Go with it, it should be plenty big enough for your set up.
