Sorry about making so many threads, this is about the 4th or 5th thread in 2 days.

I really like this case.

The PC-7A or B plus II

I have one final concern about this case that I could use some advice with.

The components that will be going in this case are.

Evga 8800 GTX
Asus P5B Deluxe
Conroe E6600 2.4 GHZ
2X 1 GIG Crucial Ballistix PC 800 DDR2
Seasonic 700 Watt Power Supply
2 Western Digital Hard Drives
Pioneer DVD Writer

My concern is that it gets pretty hot ambient temperature in the computer room in my
house in the summer. No AC in the house so just use fans, swamp cooler etc.

But it does get pretty hot sometimes.

So my question is will this Lian LI with it's 2 120mm fans be enough to cool a 8800 GTX and those other components in a hot ambient room in the summer?
Or do I need some other case with more cooling? I really like this case but if it
cant provide enough cooling in the summer I would probably have to find a different case.

Nothing on the computer would be overclocked and it wouldn't be like really really hot all the time in the computer room but definitely somewhat hot sometimes because of no AC.

No matter what case I buy I kind of just have to deal with a hot computer room in the summer. I have already installed fans, swamp cooler etc. But it's still pretty hot sometimes.

So will this Lian LI keep cool or do I need something like a Antec 900?

I have the same case with a 8800GT in it. I don't have any heat issues. Are you going to use the stock fans that come with the case? Remember, you could always get better or faster fans in the summer. You could also use a fan controller and turn them up when it's hot or you're gaming. If you get different fans, go with panaflo or scythe.
