Ok, I need a good case. I've looked at a few options but I'd just like some more opinions.

Any suggestions? I need one that'll fit a 750W PSU and an 8800 GTX or GTS.

Here's what i'm looking at:

All other suggestions are wanted.

I have an Antec Nine Hundred and its very nice. I love the blue fans for nighttime gaming and the side panel looks awesome. It's relatively cool inside the case since the case is pretty much 1 big fan.
I would recommend it!

I'm probably going to get the first case you linked when I build my next computer. The thing is basically a miniature wind tunnel.

The Thermaltake Kandalf range should be able to support the 8x cards

Its circulates Air through-out my whole room..

It works the same way as a fan does, not a Air Conditioner.

i would go for the 900 of the 2 you posted, but the p180 really is the trump-case.

Get the Thermaltake armor w/ a 25cm fan. See the fan on the side? 25cm of awesomeness.

Just built my first pc yesterday using the 900, its like an air conditioner and very cold when you touch it. It was moving cold air so fast I had to put socks on. Once I make the move to use SATA cd drives/harddrives wiring wont be a problem to fit 8800 in sli.

I like!

I might have to consider investing in one of those....

I need a new case, mine is 5 or 6 years old.

Isnt that one a LOT more expensive? Still looks like it belongs in a kitchen lol or perhaps a bathroom, if ur spending that much go for silverstone TJ-07 or TJ-09.

Thanks for the help guys. I think I'm gonna go with the Antec 900. One question though for Victim (or anyone with the Antec 900)...how many 5.25 and 3.5 slots does it have inside and out? Any pics would really help.

Thanks
