As the title states, Im looking for the best case to use the X299 dark and 5 expansion cards. I would use this for an unraid machine running 3 different vm's.
 
These are the cards I would be running:
 
2x Evga 1070 ti FTW Ultra Silent
Msi Gt 710 1 slot Gpu (for Unraid)
Asus Strix GTX 970 
Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy rx
 
This would be used for 2 gaming machines and 1 streaming machine. Is this even possible?
 
Cheers!

    Welcome to the Forum Binkers
     
    Thermaltake Core P100 Extended Water Cooling Fully Modular/Dismantle
    X299 dark and 5 expansion cards? This Motherboard has 7 Slots.
    What CPU?
    You need a CPU with 44 PCI-E Lanes also not the best MB to run and manage 3 different vm's with only 4 Memory Slots.
    You would need 16GB Memory DIMMS and they cost a lot more then using 8GB DIMMS on a Motherboard with 8 DIMM Slots.
    Are you going to be using the M.2 Slots or the U.2 Ports?
    I would rethink what Graphics Cards you are going to be using on this MB.
