    Anyone know of any cases that is spacy inside that looks decent? Trying to find a case with a panel door on the front, window on the side, spacy enough for good airflow.

    Prob not over $200, I also don't need a power supply since I'll be supplying my own.

    I like the Tsunami.... but I do like the temp gauge on the X-Dreamer. I know liquid cooling systems have them on it and was thinking on maybe getting one of those as well. Any suggestions on those?

    are you building a new computer? If so, Go towards AMD's 64-bit line and you won't even need water-cooling. I find water cooling pointless unless you have tons of money and wanna do it for looks. You can get air cooling that's just as good if done well

    cabling and system that does not restrict airflow, like neat cables and having air move easily from front of the case to the back.

    Got my stuff in today...the results are dramatic to say the least...4 vantec tornados move a lot of air. Also the thermaltake giant 3 cools my 6600gt to 30c below what my stock hsf did.

    Nice case. Although I have had trouble with thermaltake fans in the past.

    nice setup 420slayer :)

    i added the smaller ide cables to. also added a fan that fits into your pci slot, its a dual fan that fits right under your graphics card.. they are like 10-20 bucks and i really recommend one. ill look for link to product.

    This is the case I am thinking of getting, good air flow with the turbine styled fan on the front, and its quite cheap.

    Not completely sure if I will get it yet though, Might jus stick with my current Compucase 6A19 as its pretty good for cooling as it is.

    I got my EZ Cool case today! (model number 7104H)....£41 with a 400W PSU although i dont need it as got my own. The side panels and top panel are made with holes in the all over so good airflow, plus i have a large 120mm fan on the back.

    There is a good cpu cooling idea as well, there is a tube fixed to the side panel where the cpu sits and a fan can be attached underneath it. This means the hot air from the psu is just sucked out of the side of the cse rather than circulating around inside a great idea i think and my average temperature has dropped since putting things in this new case.
