Thinking of ditching WaveMaster case... Any suggestions?

[zerogear]

This case is overheating with a 8800GTX in it, so I am thinking of changing cases, does anyone have suggestions? I sort of like the minimalist look though, but I'm not much of a modder, therefore I don't really want to mod my cases.

Fairly easy to add a 120mm fan to the WM like this: http://www.techimo.com/photo/showphoto.php?photo=9079 They have machined aluminum fan adapters that look really nice but aren't cheap - hard to see it in any case so I wouldn't waste the money. May cool it down enough so you won't have to sell unless you want. Hard to find a case as nice looking as the WM for reasonable money but if you don't mind stepping down a bit in looks, you can get much higher functionality for around $60.00 shipped (at least they were on special in the last few days for that) - look at the Rosewill R5600 series at Newegg. IAC, we'd need more insight into your preferences and budget to make sensible suggestions.

What is your budget?

There's good airflow and plenty of room for an 8800GTX in an Antec P180. Can't get more minimalist than all-black (or silver, if that's your preference).

Cooler Master 690?

I think you could make your current case work with a little effort. (doesn't really sound like you're up to it, but it wouldn't' take much to put a 120mm intake in the side)

I ditched my Wavemaster and went back to my Lian Li 60 Series... I would prefer the newer 7 Series with the 120mm fans vs. the 80mm fans on the 60. I find the Lian Li has better cooling and layout, is about the same size... its also quite a bit lighter than the WM, and still looks great...
