Unless you're willing to get a Micro-ATX board you may be SOL. An ATX motherboard AND 2 long GPUs is a tall order for a small form factor case.

motherboard is pretty new and there is no chance of return so i'm not really willing to go micro-atx right now. HDD cages are not needed, so i don't think the gpus are really that much of an issue in this search.

If you want the lightest case ever

Should fit your gpus.

It's so light this, so it's portable.


If you really want a more portable case with a handle and can fit your 2x580s you will needa microatx motherboard.

I use this case with a micro atx motherboard, works great.

can fit a 2nd 670 if I want.

psu in the front, don't know if it would fit the gpus with that... and hopefully it's a changeable psu because there is no way i would run two 580s on a **** psu.

I've worked with the 360 and I guarantee there is no way to fit two 580's into it. I don't know if the 361 has significantly changed the design but I highly doubt it.

It takes a standard ATX PSU. And it'll fit your 580's with a couple if inches to spare. You'll just need to mount your hdd in the top 3.5" bay instead of the bottom...

Lian Li cases are overpriced IMO, otherwise I would've recommended one. But if you have the money to blow, go for it :)

I like the layout of that case a lot, too bad about it's aesthetics, they don't really appeal to me.

The IN WIN BR665 is a bit more plain, but I like the look of the Dragon personally. And it has a perfect setup on the side for my radiators, so I wouldn't have to dremel the side panel like I did with my old CM590...

Very cool! This definitely looks like a case to have on my radar, the only thing that would make it better is if it was a little wider or taller to fit a full-size ATX mobo like the Elite 361, then it looks like it would easily be the best SFF case for full-size components.
