Thermaltake Overseer RX-I

The Thermaltake Overseer RX-I supports E-ATX motherboards, up to eight expansion cards with space for 13-inch-long graphics cards as well as CPU coolers standing nearly 7 inches tall. You'll also find room for four 5.25-inch devices along with five 2.5 or 3.5-inch drives. Cooling is handled by two 200mm fans (one in the front and one on top) and one 120mm rear exhaust. If you need additional thermal dissipation there are pre-drilled holes for liquid cooling setups.
