Ok, here's the deal. I'll be building a new comp w/a 2.4C and 9800 non pro soon, and I of course wanna overclock those as much as possible. I was almost set on getting the Antec Lanboy until I read that it didn't cool very well. What case do you guys recommend for good cooling? Now before you answer, here's the catch...I have to be able to buy it from Best Buy. I have a ton of gift cards to there and nothing else to buy really, so I want to use them for my case. I know that limits me quite a bit, but any suggestions?

If BB carries Antec, you can't do much better than the SLK3700AMB (pricematch it to Staples - $78.50 shipped). Since BB doesn't seem to carry the 3700, look at the 2600 or the 635.
. The stores sometimes have stuff that isn't on line and vice versa. My preferences are that a case be easily built out - slides for 5" drives, removable cages for HDs. for cooling I like to see a 120 mm space for exhaust fan (or dual 80mm) also nice to have a place for 120mm intake fan (or dual 80mm) in front of HD cage.
. I see BB is supposed to have some AMS CF-2029 (gMono) cases in black and silver so take a look at those too.

Where's the :sun: ?

And BB's web site is abysmally slow right now.bh.

The 1080 is larger and has better cooling than the Lanboy. It's got removable drive cages and is set up for up to 5 80MM fans.

Well guys thanks for your help...turns out that I found someone locally to buy my gift cards from me. So, I'm gonna go with the SLK3700AMB. Should run pretty cool
