The Antec P180 seems to be pretty popular as of late. I may pick one up myself.

I just bought the Antec p180. It replaced my old Xaser III case. Personally, I'm much happier with the Antec. I'm overclocking about 500 mhz and my bios/utilities are still reporting cpu temps in the high 30s (I've also got the San Diego 3700).

Things that made me go with the Antec:

1) less noise;
2) different noise, more tolerable from 120 mm case fans rather than 80 mm;
3) cleaner/easier set-up although power supply wire routing can be a challenge with the Antec; and
4) better looking to me.

There is some very in-depth info on the Antec case here: http://www.silentpcreview.com/.

Of all of those, I would probably go for the viking because of its relatively subdued appearance. The low price doesn't hurt either... Just about anything with f/r 120mm fans will cool well - cut out the grilles if necessary. About the only thing I don't like is the side-saddle drive bay layout - tends to impede airflow. Even Antec has learned its lesson, as none of their recent introductions have that "feature".

Do they have to be ThermalTake?

I say Lian-Lis and Antecs.

 

[Bona Fide]

Lian Li PC-60Plus

Has a duct for the CPU HSF and for the PSU, as well as one for the graphics card.

i have the coolermaster cm stacker and I absolutly love it. It has a tremendous amout of air flow. Heres a link.

I have done several mods on mine and will upload pics of them soon.

Antec P180 -- vastly superior to any of these Thermaltake jobs. The P180 is not the best case that ever will exist, but it's the best one that exists now. It's not portable, so users interested in LAN parties might choose something else but for the 99% of us who don't move our PCs much, the P180 is the current state of the art, and that includes Lian Li models that cost twice as much.
