Looking for a case with decent airflow. I'm not overclocking however. It can have a built-in PSU, or it can not have a build-in PSU; it makes no difference to me.

I was looking at the Lian-Li PC 60.

Any other options?
 
Go for Antec!! SWEET cases!! I have the Antec 1080AMG! You could almost SIT in it from all the airflow it has! Excellent reviews all over online on the case. A little expensive maybe, but DEFINETLY worth it! And it will last you forver!
 
I always go Antec, however the Chieftec (I believe same makers) are some great looking cases and they are a little cheaper. Right now I'm running the Antec SX1080B, great case!
 
get aluminum by all means if it fits your budget. i got the antec SX830 $59 shipped from EMS computing... (BTW they are the worst vendor i ever dealt with) . my friend has an aluminum chieftec that has the same style. aluminum case is so much easier to hual around and put into a car!

the lian li pc 60... it looks OK. IMO a little nerdy. maybe a little to big? 12 drive bays? 5 hidden??? big cases are good for airflow but terrible for ill-designed mobo's

for exmaple: my SX830 is a little too big and my mobo's IDE plugs are position kinda low. the IDE cable has to touch the stick of memory and all streched up in order to connect to my CDRW. no damage is done but i don't really feel good about that

for $138 with no PS, i would get either:

chieftec DH-01B with 450W foxconn PS for $69 shipped (8 bays kinda small)
chieftec aluminum server case with same PS for $99 shipped

IMO antec/chieftec are of excellent values. especially the antec that comes with all the nice antec PS and fans...

you just wandered into a group of antec/chieftec freeks 😀

* almost forgot yeah the lian li is cool for AMD, as almost EVERY case that newegg sells. beware of the PS selection though. a quality 300W (again, i really like antec PS) should do you good but 400W leaves some breathing room. brand is more important than voltage rating that the manufacturer claims
 
anything chieftec antec or something like that

check out aluminum chieftec's on newegg.com

I agree with that,if you want to spend more money then the CoolerMaster & Lian-li cases are worth looking at .

In general the Antec & Chieftec cases are good enough for most people,they(especially the Chieftec) come in different sizes,colours,styles,plenty of case fan points for cooling etc .
 
I love my Antec Performance Plus 860 w/ 330 Watt TruePower supply. One of the best investments ive made ever.
 
I don't know what color you want, or if you want a side window or not, but this case is the one I think I'm gonna get. This thing rocks! Huge clear acrylic side window, black color, aluminum, lots of room, lockable, front USB, front firewire, 450W PSU, 2 fans included, room for several more fans, free shipping!

Wow! Imagine how cool it'd look with a cold cathode or two.
