I have a ThermalTake Tsunami. While its beautiful, its really cramp with video cards taking up pretty much the entire width of the case i can't even add more hard drives. I'm looking for something in the $130-$150 price range. I like the design of the Lian Li V1000/V2000 series that the hard drives face outward in two rows and the motherboard is in a different area so no card can block anything. But these cases are $200-$300, way more than i have money sto spend on. Can any of you recomment me something like that. Thanks!

When you say Lian Li, I think you are talking about the correct case.

They are fairly expensive. But the old saying you get what you pay for.

Have you considered other models in the Lian Li brand ?

Lian Li is premium, but if you dont wanna spend so much, CoolerMaster Stackers are great cases as well, both the STC one and 810. Problem is you may need to purchase extra drive bays from Coolermaster's site or ebay if you got a lot of optical and hard drives or if want a fan blowing in on front of the case. The Stacker will only come with one drive bay, but can fit 3 drive bays. I bought my STC used off of craigslist and was fortunate enough that the seller had bought the extra bays I needed and had a crossflow fan. I got all of it for $70. Woot!! So if you don't mind a used case, might test your luck there as well.
