Antec Super Lanboy. I just got one myself and it's pretty nice. Has 2 120mm fans and a side window. Compusa had a pretty decent dela on htem after MIR. Not sure if it's still going on though.

I just bought one of these (replaced the psu though). So far, so good. I'm replacing the front 80mm intake fan with a 120mm fan tomorrow, the screw holes are already there, in the right spots. (Which makes me wonder why they didn't slap in a 120mm intake to begin with?)

I like the Aspire Dreamer case you mentioned, a friend has this one and is very pleased with it. I sliced my index finger something fierce though installing an hdd into it, so if you get one watch those sharp edges, hehe.

I like the Tsunami Dream case from Thermaltake.

i had a antec super lanboy once. you can take the door off. just requires some force. pretty nice case imo. just a little too small for my tastes. now i have a antec p160 case. this case is perfect.

I prefer Lian Li cases. They don't come with a PSU, and are expensive, but are by far the best quality cases ever I've used.

My V2100B arrived from NewEgg yesterday. This thing is huge...

I have this one also. I've been pleased with the top-mounted USB ports since I always have my system on the floor, and the front mounted ports are never very accessible as a result. It's a little louder than I wanted though -- still need to find a 5V fan controller to slow down the 120mm fans even more (using 7V right now, lowest I could find). It's quiet, but not nearly silent (CPU cooler is silent, however).

Just curious, but have you ever used a case from PC Power & Cooling? I had their midtower some years ago, and I've yet to find another case with the same build quality. I still have it, but it doesn't have front USB ports or anything like that (it's in my closet).

No, I haven't. But I imagine PCP&C being top quality also.

Anyway, I'm using the PC70usb (no clear side panel, I think that's dorky). It's huge! But it's very cool & quiet, with 6 case fans running at very low RPM.

[ts3433]

Antec PlusView1000AMG? A little over budget when you add shipping, but should be good.

I am hoping to have it up in about 2 weeks...I'm waiting on some parts and need to mod my power supply.
