Trying to decide on a case

[SocceRich20]

've searched, but haven't been able to find an answer that fits my needs. I am looking for a case that:

-Is under or around $170
-has 120mm fans
-has room for watercooling
-sideways mounted hard drive rack
-sleek and stylish look
-made of aluminum
-prefer a front door

check out the cooler master stacker. it has several 120mm's plus a cross blower for your mobo. It has several nice features, but its a bit heavy.

:beer: I've got one and would definitely go along with that. It doesn't have everything you're after (no sideways mounted HD bays, and made of steel, and no front door), however I don't think there is any case being manufactured that fits all those requirements. The lian li v2000 series fit most, but I'm not sure about the price, and it still doesn't have a door.

Just out of curiousity, why the hell do you want a door?? Personally I see no use for them, and they'd just be a huge irritance for loading cds / dvds. I'm not trying to have a go at you, I know many people like them, I just don't understand why.

Why recommend the Stacker when 3 out of 7 of SocceRich20's requirements aren't met? I think the SilverStone TJ05 is closer to what you are looking for, it has everything you wanted except that it is half aluminum/steel.

'Cause as I said, I don't think a case exists that'll meet all his requirements, and one of the requirements was just a "prefer"? Also, the side panels are aluminium, so I'm not sure if that's what he's after or wants the whole case to be aluminium (I'd say he means the latter, but still).
