Hello :D New here, and I am looking for a computer case (although you might have guessed from title) I just can't seem to find one so I was hoping someone from here might know what I am looking for. Obviously I want a case that keeps the insides nice and cool, but I also want it to look "cool" and to have a clear side panel that preferabbly takes up the entire side (well not complete side, but you can use the... Antec P160 as an example) But the main feature (besides temperature keeping) is that I want/need it to be black, all these things never seem to be in just 1 certain case Sad I need help!
 
The window is too small :( I was also looking at that Tsunami one, but once again theres something i dont like, the window isn't square which is another feature I am looking for.
 
Thank-you all guys, that one MatDef suggested is a really nice one ^_^ but the other Lian Li was alos really nice, any more suggestions??
 
My budget for my case is around 250$, even that is a bit high I find, but nothing below 90$...
 
In that case, take a look at the Lian Li G70. Very roomy, great for watercooling if you ever choose to go that route. Should last you a good long time.

The one I got is nice and light, and if you add the handles it would be great to carry to lanparties etc... If you don't plan on moving it around much, the Lian Li G70 would probably be better for you. Just ask levell0rd, he builds most of the machines for performance pcs (does great work, too).

I think I've chosen on the P180B and at www.performance-pcs.com they offer it modded with a window, so thats the one I am probably going to get:) either that or the Lian-Li one, it's just a few other peoples opinions that I am going to base my final decision on:)
 
I like, and use, the Thermaltake Kandalf aliminium case, but mine is in silver.
It comes with a 2 x 3 bay hdd cages, one is mounted in the front with a 120mm fan, and the other is mounted up top besides the PSU with a 92mm exhaust fan behind it.
One thing that is strange, is that the PSU is mounted on its side, rather than the 'normal' flat postion. That means that the 120mm fan on my Tagan is facing the window side panel.
I have done away with the 3 bay cage infront of the PSU (as it is right up against the fan on the PSU, and bought an extra front 3 bay cage + 120mm fan.
As the front of the case has a possible 11 drive bays it is easy to have the two 3 bay cages + fans and still room for a floppy drive a opticals.
One of the bays is taken up with a supplied drawer.... :D ....very handy to keep some CD's or floppies in, and like the floppy drive cage, it can be put in any of the spare bays, so customising the front is easy.

I don't have it. But I've decided on the V1000/V1200 from Lian-Li for myself. Although I can't figure out why it's $30-40 more for the black version at NewEgg for the identical rig.
