I had an Xclio Windtunnel full tower many years ago, which kept my 8800GTXs very cool. The case itself was okay - you CAN turn off the lights on those giant side fans, and they were barely audible. The "WTBK Advanced" has caught my eye a few times, which is essentially an updated Windtunnel. They look VERY nice up close, but are really, really huge, like 2001 monolith huge.

Most of Xclio's other cases are just kicked down the stairs and pissed on ugly, but the windtunnels are nice.

Honestly you would have to have an awful lot of components in order to run out of space in a mid-tower. The main advantage of the full tower is the amount of room to work around in, and the possibilities for wire management.

If you can deal with a mid-tower, I would go for the HAF-912. If you must have a full tower I would save up some extra pennies and get a quality unit like the HAF-932.

Had one in my Shopping Cart earlier. The design(Sydney Opera House--looks like it anyway) was repulsive, but the side fan gave me wood. Tossed it after finding a Zalman Z9 Plus. It doesn't have the side fan, but has room for 2 120mm side fans, so it's a nice compromise with more sane styling.
