I need a case for all this...

[jimmydean723]

Alright, this is gonna be my first pc build and I'm really looking forward to it. I've got pretty much all the parts picked out, except for the case. I'm not completely sure what to go with for a case, as I'm aware the size of my video card and other parts could cause problems in certain cases. If possible I'd like to stick to a Mid size tower. Also I would like to keep the price of the case to ~$150 or less. Design-wise on the case I'll just give you an example of something I would NOT want: http://www.uncrate.com/men/images/viper-2-pc-case.jpg I don't like really really flashy stuff, I prefer clean, simple lines. Alright, with that, here's everything I have picked out so far:
Mobo
PSU
CPU
RAM
Hard Drive
GFX Card
Monitor

Yeah I realize the monitor has nothing to do with the case, but I would still very much appreciate any thoughts you guys have about the build as a whole. N.B. I am about where I would like to be cost-wise right now.

Thanks!

EDIT: This is about the only case I've come across on my own that I've thought about thus far http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811129021 Would that be big enough for everything? Would it be a good idea?

My next case is going to be a Cooler Master Stacker.

review of tx640b
another nm it appears your choice of vid card precludes the tx640b unless you leave out the hd cage and put your single harddrive on 3.5 to 5.25 brackets under your dvd/cd/r/rw drive(s)...or mod the cage

First off there is a "cases & cooling forum", you would probably get more results there.

Second the Nine Hundred is not by any means a mid sized case; it's a behemoth. The two Lian Li cases I linked to are more in line with a mid-tower form factor. Lian Li's are also about as good as it gets in terms of quality and materials.

The Antec case does look nice, but for less $$ you could have 2 x 120mm fans in the back with a COOLER MASTER Stacker 810 :laugh:

I second that choice. Both are great cases. The PC7B also comes in silver.

 

[Bateluer]

Lian Li V2100B Plus

Lian Li G70B

Lian Li PC-201B

I second the vote on the LL G70B
This case has excellent cooling properties plus it's very roomy.
