looking for a case

requirement: IT MUST COOL VERY WELL

i would like a side window but no required

please nothing from antec (like a sonata), i want something a little less generic

NO psu needed. Perfer a server tower (like the chieftec type) but i am open to mid tower recommendations

TIA

I absolutely love my Lian Li PC-65. Great side window, classic looks, easy as hell to work in, and very overclocking friendly. I've had this case for 2 years now and wouldn't trade it for any other. :)

I have 1 of these, superb case for cooling, and very well made. 2-80's in the front, 2 in the rear, Very decent Supply, and not to shaby looking. 75 bucks at Newegg.

Athenatech 800 series, Enermax 1018x series, also browse around under server cases at www.baysystem.com . And as always, the Kingwin 424 series - some of the best at any price.
For something unusual, the YeongYang/Baysystem small cube server.

I would suggest a Lian-Li PC-82 - Same as the 65 but has two rear exhaust fans and a top exhaust fan. Nice 5 fan included total with motherboard tray, side window and thumb screws. Excellent fit and finish. Available at your local CompUSA and several other retailers to save shipping and privides the ability to inspect for shipping damage before purchase - though you will have to pay tax.
