I'm wantin to get a new case...one without a door on the front so I can put some intake fans there.  I like this case:  http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3911521&Sku=A406-1101

what do you guys think?  I don't think it comes with the fans...I'll be putting Red or Green LED lights in it.

I would suggest the Antec Ninehundred or the Antec Twelvehundred.  I own both and they are awesome.

Hmm k.  I'll look those up now.  The 900 and 1200 are more expensive =O  I can get the NXZT for 99.99 this weekend at Tigerdirect just down the road.

EDIT** and the Antec 300 looks pretty sweet for a price of 59.99

I have this one:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119137

It's very good and easy to work with: has front, top, 2 side and back fans.  If memory serves me right, you can slam on a total of 7 to 8 fans on this puppy.  No side window though.  $80

The Antec 900 and higher are obviously very good as well.  The 300 seems fair but looks like may be missing nice to have (but not essential) things like rubber pads around HDDs, only space for 1 side fan, etc.

I like the case you posted luggage.  On anything I get I'll end up putting a side window into it though.  Then I can use a hole saw and make areas for side fans...I prefer one near the bottom of the panel blowing on the gfx card.

I have both the Antec 300 and the Antec P180(Black).  The 300 is a pretty awesome case.  It has a 200mm fan on top witch is great for cooling and it looks really good with 2 LED fans in the front because of the mesh there.  I also really like it because I have it sitting on the floor and all the buttons are at the top which makes it really handy, especially the USB ports.  I also like how the USB ports are separated on the front since sometimes flash drives and be bulky and not fit with something else plugged in.  Anyway, the P180 is an amazing case too, but you said nothing with a door.  But be worth just looking at though.  I love mine because it is freaking insulated so you can even hear the thing.  That's imo. though.  You should go with a name brand for sure though, I have had no luck with off brands.

Cordially,
