I have had my current case for ages. Now my new mobo pushes my heatsink fitting into the space for the PSU so i need a new case. Bigger is better.
Which one do you recommend? |

I got one of these:
http://www.umart.com.au/pro/products_listnew.phtml?id=10&id2=139&bid=2&sid=46711 Really good case, the only thing you need any tools for is to screw on the motherboard. Also, the HDDs slot in from the side, so there's no difficulty fitting them in around other stuff in the case, like big chunky video cards. |

+1 for Coolermaster - they just put thought into their designs, unlike other case manufacturers |

I have a coolermaster as my media pc case and compared to my antec case the build quality of it is utter s***. I had to rip out some of the sound proofing foam just to get the PSU to fit and the whole thing just feels so cheap (and it is cheaper than my antec case). It's a decently designed case otherwise though.

I am afeared I am in the same boat here. Had my first case since Christ was born and it still basically works.
Ugly as s*** though. Also the core CPU temp is usually around 80 degrees C. So anyone know of any decent cases that look good and I can use to keep beers cool? Would I be pushing the envelope to ask if its not too far off the $100 mark? |

Something Antec with as much silent fans and s*** as you can get - nothing more than a noisy PC to kill the ambience.

infi, its a decent case just have to be careful with the fan on top - there have been reports of the blades breaking pretty easily. hasn't happened to me yet. its heavy and loud though, but has plenty of room for HDDs and all the other crap u can stack in a tower these days. |
