new case...

[beavereater]

When it comes to buying the main things(mobo, video card etc.), I kinda know what I am looking for. Now I want to buy a new case, because its just that time!! Anyway, what should I look for...anything cool out there?? Actually, the real reason for getting a better case, is for cooling purposes, and most of the cases here come with power supplies. I need a quiet one...anyone, any advice on a case would be cool...

I like aluminum cases for the cooling abilities. Look for better quality fans with bearings to keep the noise down. Most materials that help reduce noise inside the case also insulate it making it less efficient at dissipating heat.

Here is a case w/ a lot of fan room

has room for 4 intake 80mm fans, 2 side 80mm fans and 1 60mm rear fan.

I got an Antec P160. It wasn't cheap but certainly not an expensive case. It's all aluminum and has plenty of features. It used 120mm case fans which I'd highly recommend as they're generally quieter than the 80mm fans.

I also had a Lian Li which I liked a lot but they get pretty expensive. They just came out with a gorgeous new case that looks a lot like the G5 case.

Depends on how much you want to spend I guess. I would only go with an aluminum case using 120mm fans though.
