Alrighty guys.. Prior to my P180, I had and very much enjoyed my Lain-Li, PC-65B with window, and 2 80mm fans embedded in there. I sold that (sigh), and decided to switch over to my current setup, with an Antec P180 case. It's not a bad case, but cable / airflow management is a considerable bitch, and in order for me to keep a decent overclock, I have to leave the side open (not a good call).
Hence, this is where I am at currently. I am looking at 2 cases, however I am very open-minded to other suggestions. Must have top mounted PSU bay. At this time, unless somebody can give me more better data, It's more of a hinderence than anything (had to bring my +4 line over the top of my mobo, thats the only way it would connect). Looking for really decent airflow however, I would prefer it not to sound like a hovercraft.
Case #1) Lain Li G70 (standard or modded)
Case #2) CoolerMaster Stacker
Given the trend to larger video cards, at this stage, it seems worth it to move on to a full size tower, but any ideas would be worth it. Also, would prefer aluminum vs. steel due to weight.
Fire away gents, and thanks for your input..
addon: found this case.. expensive, but it seems to fit. http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=193&products_id=20854
