best case for 150

I like my Thermaltake Tsunami, but there certainly is nothing wrong with the Sonata you already have one of.
 
My personal experience with the wavemaster has been less than great. I would not recommend it. I won it in a tourny so I am real glad I did not drop $130 on it. I went from an Antec 1030B which was way to heavy but it had great cooling and plenty of room. The wavemaster cooling let me down, the harddrives seem to close to the board connectors and made it difficult when using teh sata/IDE convertors(only had two places to use the drives instead of the four), only had 1 80mm for back exhaust, front fans hard to get to to clean. Pro's...nice and light, looks sharp, thumb screws, free.

Not trying to start anything, just wanted to give you my thoughts to help you make the best decision.

I don't own a wavemaster, but I do agree that the design of the front fan filter is poor on my coolermaster case. I ended up just taking the filter out, the front grille is pretty good as it is.
 
I saw a stacker for the first time today at a LAN party and OMG is it big!!! There is no possible use for something that big even for water cooling! Mabye a server... mabye.
 
my dream case is the lian-li pc-v1000, but its quite a bit beyond your price range. i say next best is the cooler master cavalier w/ window for about $130. wavemaster with window would be about $170ish.
 
Look at the Coolermaster Stacker, Chenbro GameBomb2, and the CompuCase LX6A-19

I'm also in the market for a case. I've fell in love with the SST-TJ06-B, but i am not sure if one of these new massive zalman coolers will hang off the board too much and hit the metal divider. If anyone has one of those cases and a big heat sink lemme know how it fits. ( the case is probably alot smaller looking than in person hehe )
