Need a new computer case

[Koudelka]

Hello all.

I'm going to be moving my computer into an entirely different case. I'm basically just looking for a good sized case for me to upgrade and fit a water cooling system inside. My old computer is hot as hell and i cannot keep it cool for the life of me.

Basically i'm just looking for a stylish case that might be better suited to keep air flow at a maximum until i upgrade to water cooling. Also looking for a case that has some extras to it.
ex. usb ports, firewire, etc. in the front would be a plus

Thanks in advance!!

Something from Lian-Li. I just love their stuff. So shiny, so simple yet elegant.

It has excellent reviews, looks great, can support BTX (with an upgrade), and has plenty of room for water cooling. The USB/headphone/mic/firewire ports are on teh top though, which can be a good or bad thing.

i'm a lian li fan.
theyre pretty expensive and dont have a PSU but they just have the sleek yet powerful type of look. also, aluminum is very moddable, but I don't know if you are into that kind of stuff.

depends on how much you're looking to spend, seeing you're going to use water cooling you could probably get a lian li like everyone else suggested. they'll probably solve some of your heating issues by themselves plus they look freaking clean. however if you're like me and have no money i just took off my side panel and thats my cooling

Just bought this thing... It rocks. Dual 120mm fans will keep anything cool, but its spacey enough for your watercooling. There's also a version without the window.

I was reading a review of this in Maximum PC and while it got pretty good reviews they did say it is a flimsy case. The reviewer went on to say that while inserting a vid card the chassis was wobbly. But it does have tons of space and plenty of room for water cooling.

If you want a big case, see my sig. It doesn't have lots of options, but it is very roomy.
