Best Case for Air Cooling?

This is among the best, if not the best. It is a little expensive @ $192 shipped. A good budget choice is something from the coolermaster centurion series, the 534 and the 532 have front 120mm intakes with the option to add a 120mm rear exhaust.
 
a cheap, free-flowing case would be a case like the antec 1040 tower cases. excellent air flow, but gets dusty and not so quiet.
 
You can get a Lian Li PC7 Plus II and add a side blowhole and a window if you want and it's not that expensive......120mm front and rear exhaust and it also comes with an 80mm top blowhole that you can expand to 120mm.

Don't all air-cooled cases get dusty? Especially if you let them sit on a carpetted floor?
 
I have the V1200 and it has great airflow, plus it looks really cool IMHO.

Edit: Here's a link to it Link. Geez, I had forgotten how expensive it was. Sorry about that.
 
yea, little too pricey for me. The coolermaster stacker and the thermaltake armor are both onsale at newegg. But they are so giant.

Some have filters. Those things are a godsend.

I added filtered intake fans to my case, though they're been more of an irritant than anything else. I guess they do help since I haven't needed canned air on this rig after a year and a half of operation, but even still, dust is getting past them. Of course, the case wasn't designed with every intake filtered, so . . .
 
I like the P180 so far. Looks good, and cools really well since the exhaust is right next to the CPU. Also has a seperate PSU chamber, and stuff is really quiet inside.

Only downside really is it's kind of heavy.
