Good, cool cases and cooling solutions

[Renovatio]

Hi and thanks for taking your time,

I'm looking for a good PC case that offers smooth ventilation and is big, not too big though.
I need one that:
a) Has fans up front to channel air out, are there such cases? I'm not savvy on this so please enlighten me
b) Is preferably a Tower case, if this is unnecessary, please suggest alternatives

Please suggest good fans and other cooling solutions to go with it too, if possible.

All this on a budget of MAX US$70++ (In my currency it will be $222). A little over-budget for lasting parts is okay.

Basically, whats going in will be a:

1) ATX motherboard
2) Gigabyte Odin PSU, I think dimensions are standard for all Odins but correct me if I'm wrong
3) 8800GT with a Zalman cooler, maybe I should allow some room for it? Its not huge, but kinda big

I have plenty of space to accomodate a fairly large casing, Thanks in advance!

IDK where you are so maybe the Cooler Master 590 is available there. What case brands are commonly available there? Or maybe something in the HEC/Compucase 6A series.

Thanks for your reply, Zepper. I'll keep the case in mind. They do sell big fat modding cases here but they costs a fortune for $250++ a piece minimal.

Hmm I do get Thermaltake, Cooler Master, Lian Li, etc. but yea, like I said, they are expensive.

Thanks for your help!

Antec 900 under $100 best bang for the buck. I have one and I'm quite impressed.

I would also recommend the Cooler Master 590/690. The pricing should be in line with you budget and both cases have plenty of interior room, offer good cooling performance and have a clean exterior design.

I'm using the stock 120mm fans with my 690 at the moment (side fan moved to one of the top locations) and find them to be fairly quiet and offer acceptable airflow. I'm running my Accelero S1 passively and it runs quite cool/doesn't seem to have had much impact on ambient temps inside the case.

Nice. I'll keep those in mind. Thanks for your help.
