Case for a power hungry hot system.

[NKDietrich]

So I'm pricing out a new system (SLI 7800GTX, dual core CPU) and I'm trying to decide on a case.

I was going to get the Lian Li PC-V1000, or a variant, but the motherboard I am getting (A8N32-SLI) uses heatpipe cooling for the chipset. Heatpipes dont work so well when they are upside down, and Asus tech support recommends against using that case.

Are there some well-ventilated, spacious cases that might suit my purposes, but are not upside down?

Thanks.

Antec P180, CM Stacker. Both good.

Your sparing no cost? Go for the P-180. I bit the bullet when I upgraded (it was a MAJOR splurge), but it was worth every cent. It has so many fans that I can run them all at a low speed and still keep my Prescott at 42C idle 48C load. I even got one of those CM ultra-silent LED fans and installed it in top so the light comes through the mesh in the spoiler. Totally killer lighting effect, I'm thinking of installing a second in the front HD cage so light comes through when the case is open.
