Question New PC case

Can anyone recommend a case with 9 PCI slots on the rear? I was looking at the Antec Three Hunderd so something similar to this would be ideal.
7 would be enough but I have two double-width graphics cards.

Re: New PC case

What motherboard are you using with 9 expansion slots?

Question Re: New PC case

The motherboard doesn't have 9 slots but as I'm using 2 double-width graphics cards and rear expansion boards I need the extra ports.
The board is an XFX nForce 680i LT with the following:

- 2x XFX GeForce 8800Ultra
- Asus Xonar D2/PM
- Asus Xonar MIDI daughterboard
- Video capture card
- USB rear expansion
- FW rear expansion

Re: New PC case

Any Full Tower case should work.
I've used this one a couple of times: $150

This Antec is a little flashy for my preference but it's a good case: $170

Thanks for the suggestion but neither of these have the 9 expansion slots I'm after.

Re: New PC case

This one looks fine (if a little pricey) but as it seems 7 or more slots are rare it may be that if i want to have my cake and eat it I'll have to pay for it
