Truth is, any case designed for proper air flow that can support a kilowatt EPS power supply, preferably has active cooling over the video card area (at least one 120mm fan or larger), and is roomy enough to support multiple video cards that are 10.5” long—or longer—is “SLI-ready.” Figuring out which case meets those criteria is another matter. The specs on a manufacturer’s website or the ones printed on the box don’t always tell the whole story. NVIDIA’s decision to add cases to their SLI certification program is already drawing criticism as a marketing gimmick, but the benefit of what NVIDIA is doing will become more obvious over time. As they evaluate and add more cases to the list, the guess-work in choosing one with the necessary space and cooling requirements for building a high-end gaming rig with full-length video cards and power supplies will be eliminated.

If you want to add four hard drives to the Cooler Master Stacker 830 NVIDIA Edition, but don’t want to risk overheating problems cramming all of them into the 4-in-3 Device Module, and don’t want to invest in a second 4-in-3, you’ll certainly find the Hard Drive Rack useful. The top mounted location directly beneath the upper mesh panel is ideal for any hot-running 3.5” hard drive. Although the rack is hyped for the Raptor X, even with the additional illumination from the LED harness, the only way you’ll be able to admire the Raptor X’s cool, see-through dome is by removing the case’s side panel, opening the Side Fan Tray and looking up and into the case.
