The Lian-Li PC60APLUSII or whatever I linked on page 1. It has no door and has a side window. Fits a front, side and rear 120mm fan, why I figured the Rheobus might be good for it. Its 8.3" wide so I figure the Ultra can fit, my Yate Loons can intake/exhaust and my 5150GH enhance powersupply. I just hate plastic, plastic is so.... cheap.

It looks solid, (I hate plastic too. I am thinking of getting that LL now and cancelling the Smilodon)

LOL. So quick to change game! I am sorry man, I just can't change so I am trying to find out all my options first. The Lian-Li just seems solid and you can get it with or without window. I would get it with the window for $10 more and hold on... sexy dancing chick commercial... need to type while not looking... oooo... red zone chiquita. Umm where was I lol. Yea, I am very against plastic now, I thought it might be nice for decor, but it is just so weak for a case that you want to have protect your soft innerds. I only have enough money to pay for one and well, its almost like picking out your first car(your first building case).

I think my CC company would love me to spend money so recklessly, I also dont pile any payments so my bank account is also almost vaporized.

LOL, I am basically using cash, I don't have a credit card... not because I can't, I have just never gotten one. I use my debit card and for things that don't take debit I use Paypal or borrow a credit card from someone I know and pay them back with cash. Bed time here, check in early tomorrow before I order.

There weren't many cons other than if you have need for a bunch of wiring space, but I don't plan on doing anything excessive with maybe 3 hard drives or so. I just need to find a setup to backup my work safely so I don't lose my 3d graphics stuff.

And the air intake for the front fans on the CoolView is at the bottom of the door. The farther from a fan the restriction is, the less restriction it creates. And there are places to be cut or drilled it the door-bottom intake turns out to be insufficient.

The original Stacker is very nice and almost 9" wide, but the Egg doesn't have any kind of a deal on them right now.

Yea I ordered up the Lian Li PC-60APLUSII silver style and will be taking out the intake thing they have midway up the back to cool the processor. 8.3" wide, as wide as if not wider than what Baked said he fit all his stuff into, should work out great, no flimsy plastic doors to break this time round =0
