New Build, old build being moved to HTPC, need a chassis that will fit a 9800gtx for the htpc

[Luc1f3r]

Here's my new build, I'll probably end up going the Crossfire route with two of the 6970's (hence the 850w psu, though i'm not entirely sure if it's enough to crossfire 6970's with what i have, if it was 6950's i wouldn't be so worried about it... so I'm still deciding on a psu, if anyone else has done crossfire before a suggestion on the psu would be nice, i'd like to stay with corsair though.)

I wanted to go with the lian li pc-p50, but it didn't look like it would be able to fit both cards (measurements showed it would first a single 6970, but there's less space near the hard drive cages and would make a really tight fit if it even fit at all...)

Will probably get two packs of the ram for a total of 16gb (even though i think it's not really necessary but i figure for another 70 bucks it's worth it...)
The velociraptor drive is there becuase it's from my old build, going to move it to the new build as a boot drive.

As for the monitors, I'm replacing my 32" and my 22" with a little bit more balanced (and manageable) setup that should hopefully still give me a lot of screen space using (2) 27" led monitors.

Anyone have a good suggestion for the 1155 coolers? or a particular one they're fond of?

as for the HTPC, basically i'll be taking my setup (4gb ddr2 800mhz, intel e8400, asus p5b-pro, 9800gtx, antec earthwatts 600w) throwing a few 1 or 2 tb drives into raid5 and loading media portal for the htpc app and calling it good, i need an atx chassis that can fit my 9800gtx though and a large number of drives (probably won't bother with throwing a blu-ray drive in it since i have a ps3) Any suggestions?

Also i'm looking into cable card products and decent tv tuners, any suggestions for that either?

[Armotekma]

U.S.? What are you going to be using the new build for?

[Luc1f3r]

Yea U.s.

And it's pretty much going to be used for what i used the old one for, video editing, web design and development, gaming (Specifically BF3), high def movies, mapping (if i ever get into again,) ect...

My old build is about 3-4 years old so i figured its time to do a new one and i want a htpc too so was going to scavange parts from my old build for the htpc. (HTPC will be pushing my 72" tv.)

I won't be building it for another 3-4 weeks anyways because i'm still in Afghanistan so i've got time to think about it.
