[mawsoccer]

I have found a few that I like. But if the one you think is best is not on this list. Please post it here.

How about these (Note that these prices include shipping):

ENERMAX ECA3052BL - [URL-"http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811124116"]NE[/URL] - $85
AeroCool ExtremEngine 3T Black or Silver - http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=141900"]ZZF[/URL] - $105
SunbeamTech IC-TR-B Transformer - http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=145204"]ZZF[/URL] - $81
NZXT Apollo BLUE NP Blue - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811146026"]NE[/URL] - $85
Aerocool AeroEngine II Mid Tower - http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=372095"]ZZF[/URL] - $75
Thermaltake SViking VA4000BWS - http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=371213"]ZZF[/URL] - $80
Thermaltake Soprano VB1000BWS - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811133145"]NE[/URL] - $67

Right now I am kinda leaning toward the ENERMAX ECA3052BL because of the big side fan, price, and the fact that it has no rebates but I like the looks of the Aerocool ExtremeEngine and the Sunbeamtech Transformer best.

Antec P180 can be found for that price.

The Chakra is basically the same as the CM Centurions/Kingwin 523s/Gigabyte Poseidons/etc. etc. - that chassis seems to be very popular these days. So it's a good basic chassis and that big side fan pretty much negates the need for any other except for CPU and PSU. Its only lack is vibe isolaton for the HDDs.

Except for the Tt's you listed, the rest are too ricey for me. The SViking is basically the same as the Rosewill/YeongYang 560x series which I really like. Don't know the origin of the Soprano's basic chassis design, but it looks decent - also lacks HDD vibe isolation unless the whole cage is rubber mounted.

And if you like those, the Kingwin 523 and the Silverstone Temjin 4 (SST-Tj04) should be on your list too.

I like the silverstone temjin series, but the one I would recomend the the lian li pc7b+2. Though it lacks a removable MoBo tray, it has just about everything else you could want... 2x 120mm fans, all aluminum, lian li quality... best bang for buck lian li there is. Those cases that you linked have a lot of plastic on them, I don't know if you like the bling, but lian li is decidedly utilitarian. I like it.

Lian Lis are well made, but have almost no modern conveniences inside and mostly lack any HDD vibe isolation. though it probably wouldn't be too hard to mod some in. But at the prices L-L asks, they should already be in there.
