I have an Aerocool CoolView for sale in my For Sale/Trade thread. It is linked from my sig, below. Price just reduced.

Other than that, you need to give some specifics like price range, how quiet do you need, color, size range, etc. Also nice if you demonstrate that you have been really thinking about what you need/want and looking on your own. List some and have us nitpick them to death... There are plenty of threads here about reasonably and unreasonably priced cases, read a few - tiresome running thru the same stuff all the time.

He helps those who help themselves.

Can you place rads in the top of the p182/p180b? It does have holes for tubing to leave the case btw, incase your placing the rads outside, no ? I dunno, p182 might be a little cramped for 2 8800's, full tower would be better. You first need to accomodate all the water cooling though, then think of the rest, otherwise you'll be doing a lot of modding ...

I'm using a Swiftech H2O-220 Apex Ultra Water Cooling Kit.. I know i will need a full tower for the room my whole set-up will be the Striker MB the water cooling 2X 8800 Ultra. i don't care if its quiet not just want something that will keep it cool. Price don't matter to much but don't want anything off the wall either.

Thermaltake Eureka/Shark (basically the same case) - their Armor is a sizable case too. Gigabyte Aurora 3D 570. The new Cooler Master 690 on sale at the Egg right now (MIR) and has some allowances for WCing - The all-aluminum Cooler Master Mystique cases 631 and 632 as well as the al/steel version of the 632 are still at SVC.com on sale which all have tubing grommets on the back panel. I always like the original Stacker (STC-T01) for extreme systems. And maybe the Silverstone Temjin 5 (SST-TJ05) could work for you.

i was looking at getting the Cooler Master CM Stacker 810 does anyone know if this case has the pre-holes for water cooling? I really don't want to mod this case. i had to mod the case i have now but don't want to do it again.

Neither of the early Stackers have WCing ports. Might want to look at the Gigabyte Aurora 570 or similar. Cooermaster 690 has WC ports but may be smaller than you want. Some place or other always seems to be blowing that out.

Well, there is plenty of room on the back panel of the 810 for cutting tubing ports if you want.
