Help me choose case!

[Malikman]

Hey i am trying to choose what case i will get. I was going to get SFF but i don't think i am going to now. Here's my build and what my future views are for it.

Athlon 64 x2 3800+
ATX SLI Motherboard (don't know still working on this)
Corsair XMS (2x1 Gig DDR 400)
XFX Geforce 4 7800GT Pci-e
PC Power and cooling PSU (450 watt i'm not sure exactly what one yet)
Fans
80 gig hard drive (maybe with a second 40 gig but probably not)
DVD-Burner

This is what i plan on having in my computer. I'm going to run it with air for awhile then i will be going to watercooling. The case i want needs to be a case were i can have good nie temps with air but also a case i can future have watercooling and a nice one. A window would be cool too haa. Preferably front firewire/audio too.

Please if you guys know of any good cases i'd appreciate it.

P.S. i don't like thermaltake there totally too fancy for me as well i don't need a full tower nor do i want a SFF so something in the middle maybe a mid-tower if it can fit water-cooling nicly eventually i'm not a case buff.

again i really appreciate comments thanks!

what do you guys think of these cases remember they are going to need watercooling.

Heya,

Your specs and needs look fairly similar to the build I've currently been working on (and dreaming about affording...) I'm also planning on adding in water cooling and wanted to make sure I had enough space. You may benefit from taking a look at my short list of cases I put together off Newegg. It might have a few that meet your tastes. Most of the ideas were pulled from threadsurfing the Case Mods forum.

Both the cases you listed are decent as well - they didn't meet some of my specific requirements so they're not on my list, but CM is a good name to work with from what I gather.

Best wishes,
