I'm trying to find a Mid-tower E-ATX with 3 (at least) 5.25" bays and room for
my video card and PSU.
 
Any suggestions? I'm willing to spend at MOST 200 dollars.

    That X5 is huge.....it looks like.. o.O
     
    I had a Corsair Obsidian 800D that no longer 'fit the room'...and I want something about half the size....
     
    Thanks for the suggestions, I'll have a look!

    Corsair and Thermaltake have some nice cases atm for mid size.  I'd personally stick with Corsair imo.  Nice designs and CS.

    Most mid cases either don't have any 5.25" bays or have a couple.  Most cases should support E-ATX but the thing is, the more bays you want, the bigger the case gets.  For what you're asking for, it would be a lot easier to find something in the large case category but it can be had with Mid-size cases.

    Have a look at Antec as well as NZXT to name a couple if you haven't found anything you like between Corsair and TT.

    @transdogmifier Are you going to stay on Air on your eVGA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti FTW3 or get a Hybrid Kit when they come out?


    I’m planning on getting the hybrid kit when it comes out

    I was thinking I was ok with the 3 slotted but it
    Begins to annoy me.

    No idea why.

    The more l look at my 2 Slot Bracket and the Hybrid Kit the more I am thinking it will work with it.
