    I am building a desktop and i was going to buy the http://www.bitfenix.com/global/en/products/chassis/prodigy/
    Case but it can't hold the graphics card i chose and certainly not 2 of them.
    It was almost ideal but i cant use it so can you please suggest a good case.
    I would like if it was semi portable like the bitfenix and reasonably small.
    If u think you can help please do.thanks

    The Prodigy M will take two graphics cards and is roughly the same size as the Prodigy.

    THIS

    It's very customizable, lots of space, and you can carry it about with ease - It won't fail you, and it's cheap !

    Well i want to fit this card http://www.hardwareversand.de/articledetail.jsp?aid=110125&agid=2447
    And maby 3 years in the Future put in another of the same graphics card.
    Are you sure all that will fit in the bitfenix

    Small form factor and dual cards don't mix too well. It's doable but i'd go for at least atx for 2 cards.

    You won't need 2 cards for 1080p ever though. Not unless it's a 120hz monitor. Just upgrade your card whenever it's needed.

    You need to post a budget, but in the absence of one, and if you don't want a massive case then the corsair 350d looks good

    antec 1200 case is a nice meaty one that will easy hold 2 gfx cards
    plenty of fans too to keep it cool along with plenty of space for hdd`s and dvd drives ect
    very nice case its what i currently use the only downside of it is that its quite large and with all the fans going it produces a lot of air flow, although its quite quiet fan wise.

    this isnt a picture of my case btw just a random one off the internet.
    mine has a water cooled system in it.
    also you cant see the 3 fans fitted to the front of the case on quick release mounts so you can clean their air filters with ease

    The antec 1200 is so dated design wise compared to modern cases. I wouldn't touch it.
