hmm which one

OK here are my specs,,,

3200+ Venice
2x512 mb Twinmos ram
ATX DFI Lanparty Ultra-D
2 Optical Drives
2 Harddrives
OCZ Powerstream 520 Watt PSU

I'm gonna get air cooling and I was wondering which case around 80-130 USD has superb cooling and a Side Panel Window?
 
Case is really a matter of personal choice. If you want something that cools well, find something from a brand name company that looks good.

If you want good temps, get a big case. I tried a couple different cases, but am still holding onto my Chieftec Dragon for it's superior cooling ability.
 
The CoolerMaster Praetorian is nice or the Kingwin 424 series or the Silverstone TJ04/05 ... Why not give us a list of 5 or 6 and let us pick the nits? I like my Silverstone Berserker a lot but it has its share of flaws. Review here: http://www.techimo.com/reviews/

The way the door is curved on the Soprano might make it difficult to use things like mobile hard drive bays or fan controllers, etc. Doesn't look like there will be much clearance in the middle. And ThermalTake is famous for flimsy metal - but this one is supposed to have 0.8mm SECC which is the thinnest acceptable. The 1.0 they use on some of the better Antecs helps keep the noise down and is sturdier. IOW you won't be able to use a Soprano as a step stool...

Big case = good amount of space and cooling, but the down fall is the weight.
If you don't move around a lot such as going to LAN parties then a big case would be good.

Yes but all of the full tower cases are 100 + shipping. I currently have a raidmax gaming case and I'm selling it and I always did love the full towers. I was also thinking thw soprano because I don't have/need any fancontrollers or mobile harddrives. also do they have a version of that new antec with a window I wanna see what it looks like. I like the clean look with a window I prefrably would like it black so any suggestions would be great thank you for your help.
