Alrighty, so I'm in the market for a new case.

The only requirement I have is removable motherboard tray.

It has to be big enough to hold 2 CD-Rom drives without the back of one of the drives hitting the motherboard (problem I have w/ current case). It also has to be able to hold at least 2, preferable 4, hard drives. Hard drive rails would rule :)

Aluminum cases are preferred but I know they make the price higher.

Also I may be looking into watercooling in the future so a case big enough to house that would be nice as well.

If possible I'd like to avoid a big server case.

I'd rather not spend more than $100 or so. However, I'd love to be tempted to spend a bit more on a great deal :)

All information and advice is appreciated, thanks!
 
Id recommend one of these lil guys: Lian Li PC-6070

small, sleek, noise insulated, and around $160ish. My roomate just got one and loves it :D

p.s. they are also available in black. ;)

Not really, just get one of the kingwins or other direct knock offs of a Lian-Li. I have a PC-65 and if I had to do it all over again, I wouldnt waste the extra money.
 
I have this CASE and you can see it HERE in action...

I love this case for one simple reason, 120mm hole in the front with FILTER and 120mm hole in the back.., I also got a 120mm Thermaltake low noise fan from Newegg when I ordered the case.. I stays real cool compared to others I have had.
 
That is a nice case, I almost bought one today from the egg. Just dunno what I will do with My Lian-Li, or the YY cube I have laying around.

I was considering the case but it's not aluminum. How heavy is the thing?

Also, does it have a removeable mobo tray?
 
Yea it doesnt have a Removable MOBO tray... But that was out weighed by the 2x120mm fans for me...

There was more than enuff room in there for me to work.....when putting in the mobo tray..
 
I've worked too long in my case that doesn't have a mobo tray and I have been plagued by wet dreams of a removable mobo tray.

Ok, so maybe I haven't been having wet dreams, but the removable mobo tray is still a must :)
