Having a hard time picking my next case. I am selling one system and taking the drives out to show into my next setup. I need plenty of room with plenty of cooling. I also want it as quiet as possible. I like the clean look of Lian Li cases. I know I can get a blow hole added for extra cooling and run some under volted slipstream fans. I do have to keep my 4870x2 and drives cool along with an overclocked Quad.. thanks for any advice!

I'm really really liking the A77B...

Heck, I'd probably use that over my current V2000...

CM Cosmos 1000.
 
+1 for the A77B, I got it last week, just been to scared of chopping it. the only thing I did was paint the inside black. It can fit the new graphics cards for sure. I'm going to put a 3x120mm fan/rad setup at the top once i get over the fact that I'm going to mod a $250+ case.
 
The A77's clean exterior give it a look of sophistication yet the vented drive bay covers hints at its potentially outrageous air flow. The other candidates look very nice but I find that doors (most of the time with main computers) get in the way.

I would got for the A77, but in silver. That way I could give it a mirror polish, but going with the black one, blemishes would be less evident if the case was kept stock.
 
I'd also look at Silverstone. I just picked up a TJ-09 and I'm quite pleased with it.
 
Not a fan of the Cosmos or Antec 300... without thinking about price it comes down to the A77 and A20. I am really leaning towards the A20. I will never use more then 6 drives.
 
If money isn't an issue, I'd probably go with the A20. that thing is sexy as hell. :D it looks like cooling from the front won't be as good, but the "multi-zone" cooling concept sounds pretty awesome. And just guessing, but it's probably quieter with the fans inside the case (and behind a door) instead of in front with no door.

Yeah, the door does help a lot. I actually like the doors for this reason. Also I plan on adding another 120mm fan in the top bay area to blow in.. this should help the cooling.
