Ok, so I decided that my steel case isn't going to do anymore. I need something light. I was looking at Lian Lis and came across the PC-3077B. I mailed the for pics and I saw that the PSU is vertically mounted.

So, I'm looking for owners of this case, or anyone who has done a build with it that is willing to help me out. I want to know how much space there is between the motherboard and the PSU once mounted and what HSFs were used for the builds. I'd like to get an SP-97 in there, but I don't know how much space I'll need between the top of the fan and the PSU for adequate air flow. If anyone can shed some light on this for me, I'd appreciate it very much.

If I don't get this case, I'm looking at the PC-6077B along with an EX-23 HDD rack which I'd use in the 3077 as well.

Anyone use the 6077? I've read a few reviews of this case, and only heard good things, but haven't seen much of it from users on these forums. I've basically narrowed it down to these two cases, I just need a little help with the cooling options on the 3077. Thanks a lot guys.

I just bought a PC-3077B case.....before purchase I measured the space needed between the motherboard and PS....I should be OK.

I will post my results once I install, which will be in a week or two (waiting on some parts).

UPDATE:

I have my PC-3077B up and running with an Athlon XP 3200+, 1GB DDR400, and 2 WD Raptor SATA HDD.

My old Swiftech CPU cooler would have fit but I decided to get an Arctic Cooling Slim Silent Pro TC to get a bit more space between the cooler and PS.

I added one AOC PCI slot cooler above the AGP graphics board (sucks some of the warm air from the CPU area).

With the CPU running at 100% for hours, the case temp is 36 deg C; the CPU temp is 61-62 deg C (as measured from the BIOS by MBM 5). (The CPU is OC at 2.32GHz)
