Alright so I'm looking for a case that has really good airflow (for cooling). Right now i have a thermaltake tsunami and it does alright but i have to leave the 2 front doors (on the case) open to get any crossflow breeze going.

So i've been looking at cases and I'm wondering what you guys would recommend.

I've been looking at that one but its pretty spendy (even with free shipping and a rebate). I'd probably have to buy a lot of 120 mm fans + dust covers for all of them too, has anyone had any experiance with that case?

why do you need such great airflow? What CPU and Temps are you getting?

250 Dollars on an aircooled case is damn high if you ask me.

i have a superclocked evga 7900 gt that gets fairly hot, 2 gb ddr2 patriot ram that isnt chilly, and a dual core 4600+

and i'm in a big room that has 4 skylights, and one AC vent.. so it gets kinda hot

i just need to keep the air moving and the 250 dollar case looked like it would do that .. heh 9 x 120 mm fans

This case also has good airflow. And has plenty of room to work in. (Though it weighs a ton...)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a … 6811129154 - That case has good airflow and is supplied with three 120mm fans. It has two chambers - one for the PSU and hard disk drives, one for the mobo and optical drives. Can also add a 120mm fan to the optical drive section and another 80mm fan to the side, I think.

Anyway, it's half the price of the box you were thinking about and it's recommended by Custom PC in the UK.

Top notch recommendations. I'm currently working in the exact case {M5}Sniper3 posted, and it's fantastic. I know there is a silver aluminum version available, and there is supposed to be a black aluminum model as well, though I haven't seen one. Steel version= 31.5lbs, Aluminum= 16.2lbs
