Hi. I'm thinking of getting a new case because mine's getting a little small because my 8800GT is right up against one of my HD's and I think I could use some more space. I'm also looking for something with VERY GOOD cooling but with a good pricetag to. I realize you can't expect to get top of the line when you don't want to pay top dollar but I'd like some good bang for the buck cooling. Pretty much it ranks like this:

-Cooling
-Space
-Looks

I was thinking of something like the Coolermaster 590. Is there anything better for that price?
 
Not for that price, no. Unless you prefer the looks of a CM RC-690 or Antec 900.

As far as cooling goes, you could definitely pay a lot more for a CM Stacker 830.
 
Yeah the CM Centurion 590 would be my suggestion or the CM 690. Both are good cases with good space for a good price. Also both have a ton of space for 120mm fans. Just my 2 cents :)
 
I'm getting carried away recommending the 590, but you said it yourself :) its everything you need, i love all black cases, and there's fan placement everywhere, even on the back side of the mobo..

Plus most enthusiast prefer a bottom mounted PSU, and after using it this way, i won't go back to top placement, just cleaner this way.
 
So you'd say Bottom mounted PSU's help in cable management a lot?

In most cases, besides the Antec 900. It looks great and all if there's proper routing (like in a P182), but more often than not, you don't.

Or if you have an inverted ATX case.


I prefer top mounted. Hiding wires is just as easy, and you don't have to worry about cable length.
 
I'm going to suggest the CM 690, I love it plenty of room and Great cooling.
 
CoolerMaster Stacker 830 EVO. If you look hard, there was a sale a while ago for less than 100 dollars.

If not, a classic Lian-Li 6 or 7 series would be excellent too. An 8800 GT will fit fine in those Lian-Lis.
