All,

I'm about to build a new system and I'm going nuts trying to find a perfect case. I don't care if it's a Mid/Full Tower (though I'm leaning towards a Full Tower). I'm trying to find a case that'll fit at least 2 120mm fans (1 in the front to cool the hard drives/suck air in), 1 in the back to spit the hot air out. I'd also like to have an 80 or 120mm fan on the side by the video cards to either suck more cool air in or blow the hot air out. I plan on starting with 1 7800GTX or 7900GTX but will most likely buy another one down the road for SLI purposes. I plan on running an X2 4400, maybe overclocked a bit, with a Ninja Scythe cooling the thing. There will be 2 or 3 hard drives (with 1 being a 74gb raptor) in the system. I don't want to spend any more than $150 on the case. Obviously, the cheaper the better. Thanks in advance.
 
I like the antec p180 or the chenbro gaming bomb II
 
I'm a Lian-Li fan all the way. Many choices, from reasonable to over-the-top. All of great quality.

Looks like a Ferrari commercial :)

Cooler Master Centurion 5 is a great case, you can get them with a 120mm in the front and back, also has different side panels, mine came with a mesh in the side so i use 2 low rpm 80mm fans on the side of the video card to keep it cool, the case keeps things pretty cool as well, my temps are the same with the side on or off! 5 5.25 bays, 1 external 3.5 bay, 5 internal .3.5 bays, picked mine up for around 60$ but with different options come diff prices.
