I've decided to ditch my old midtower case for something bigger, cooler (in the temperature sense,) and perhaps better at warding off dust. Any recommendations?
My old case was a 230W Enlight, any chance that would cause problems w/my A7V/Tbird 800 setup? Noticed the manual asks for 250W.

Also, I'd like to replace my stock AMD fan. Not sure whether to get the GlobalWin 32/38, Alpha, or Hedgehog. What do you guys think?

I can't really vouch for it yet since mine doesn't get here till tomarrow but the antec sx1030 seems to be a favorite around here. Its brother sx830 is also pretty nice. Both come with 2 extra fans alreading installed in the back and have room for 2 more in the front all 80mm. Both also come with 300watt amd approved p/s. www.onvia.com sells the sx830 for $81 and the sx1030 for $91 and free shipping. You can go here for pics of and specs for both.

I would recommend an Addtronics. The 6890A comes with two 80mm intake in the front with filters. One 80mm in the top of each door and a 90mm (all 3 exhaust) under the PS. The doors swing out and the Mobo tray is removeable and the top comes off and the front bezel locks. They might be a little spendy but they are very nice cases.

I would add a link but I can't from work. :( But there site is ...www.addtronics.com
