I'm looking for a nice case with the following:

120mm rear fan
120mm front fan
2 to 5, 5.25 bays
1-3 visible 3.5
2 - ? 3.5
Window
need it to fit a msi k8n neo2 plat and/or msi k8n neo4 ultra

anyone know of a case that fits these specs?
 
I have a Lian Li PC-2100V that fits most of those specs, everything but the window I believe. But you could do that yourself if you really wanted to.
 
Go with the thermaltake Tsunami, i have it and it is the best case ever (except for the questionably loud 21db fan, sounds like a plane taking off). Replace the fans if you get it.

That is a pretty sweet case. Only thing missing is a removable mobo tray.

I looked at the case yesterday @ Microcenter ... and it seems to be possible to remove the mobo tray ... although you have to install it back before you can install the PCI/AGP cards ... I'll know definitely tonight ... I'm picking one up after work ...

If I had a CompUSA near me and could get that $50 rebate, I might have a new case to play with . :)

Well Newegg has the Gaming Bomb II finally in stock in BOTH the Silver and Black for $225.98 shipped.

Has everything you want including a removable mobo tray.

I find it hard to justify spending $226 on the Gaming Bomb II as there are plenty of better cases out there for much lower prices.

In my opinion, the TT Tsunami is your best bet (albeit it's a rip-off the CM WaveMaster..boo-hoo...) as it's mostly tooless, comes with a very nice paintjob, and the airflow is superb.

Another personal recommendation is the Cooler Master Centurion 5. Seeing that the whole front panel is one giant grill, the airflow is terrible. Not to mention, the appearance kinda grows on you the more you look at it and it's begging to be modded.

Just my $0.02 USD.

I can confirm that the mobo tray is removeable for the Antec P160 ... very nice case ...

Yeah, awesome deal, but it is sadly out of stock at all the 5 stores near me :(

I went the other day just to look at it and they had the display (although it was broken :rolleyes: ) and the case is really nice! Nice size also, killer deal with that price...If anyone has a CompUSA near them with it in stock you should pick one up...GO NOW! :p

Now that case is way too expensive.... who the hell spends $226 on a case that is basically jjust a hunk of alluminum? Nice case though... I want one.
 
okay. explain to me why you would spend that much.... On a piece of alluminum bended and welded together into a box? Anything over 150ish is way too high..

my advice is this...if you like the look of the 160..and like a clear side window...get the 160wf..its what i use...with a orange Xconnect 500watt psu with uv lights...looks very nice with the lights off http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=11-129-144&depa=0
 
So what if you want to use just one CD-ROM drive on the P160? Are you stuck with a drive cover with no drive to put behind it? That's kinda dorky.

Hmm, I just might, is it basically the same as the 160 just the window?

It's a small spring loaded tray to hold small parts. About 5 x 2 x 1 inches.

Cool, is it spacious? Because the main reason I am upgrading my case is for more space...

It's not a very big case. I wouldn't try stuffing a water cooling rig into it. It's a lightweight case for people to haul around to LAN parties. It's a nice case, though.
