Although I'm not getting a new case for about a month, I need some feedback on some various cases.

Needs:
-2 USB, 1 Firewire, Microphone jack, Audio jack, preferably on TOP
-Side Window (thinking about a green cathode)
-At least 3 optical drive slots, 1 FDD drive slot
-Good airflow (VGA/CPU/HDD based case fan areas, I'm a gamer-type guy)
-Light enough to carry for LAN parties
-Under $130

ThermalRock Dragon $120

If you have other suggestions (I'm sure there will be), any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Just received my PC7B-Plus today. Can't wait to get it put together. Has 4 120mm fans. I should be able to move some air and cool this P4 3.4.

I eagerly awaited the ThermalTake Tsanumi to hit Directrons showroom floor.

I came...I looked...I promptly crossed it off my list of possible cases for new builds.

The Lian-Li PC7B Plus is a really nice case in your price range.

Coolerguys has one that comes with 2 120's and provisions for a 80m/m fan blow hole.

Really nice Lan case...They are or were out of stock.

If you look around you should be able to find the PC7B Plus with the 80m/m blow hole fan like the one they sell at Coolerguys.

On the lighting end of it...Have you considered UV black light's with UV reactive, sleeving, cables versus the cold cathode route ???

Many people find UV a much more dramatic effect versus cold cathodes.

I know I do.
