Hello. My old cooler master case is falling apart. I need one where the usb ports are directly on the front. Not where the usb stick would protude from the top. I have two large video cards that need to fit in it. And preferably with no lighting at all. Thanks for any suggestions.

Does it have to be a full tower? A mid-tower may be sufficient. It would help if you would list the parts of your computer. As for the lighting, it's all dependent on whether or not the case comes with LED fans or not. You could always swap out the LED fans for non-LED fans or cut the wire to get rid of the LED aspect of the fan.

Thanks for responding. I have big hands so a full tower would make it easier for me and safer for the components.
Here's my stuff:
ASUS P7P55D-E PRO MB
2- 6870 CROSSFIRE
I5-750 PROCESSOR WITH A TALL HEATSINK
ANTEC 1000 WATT PS
4 RAPTORS HDD
ONE SSD
2- DVD WRITERS
NEED AT LEAST 2 USB PORTS FOR THE FRONT AND ONE FIREWIRE

What is your budget by the way? That would help narrow down your options a lot.

COOLER MASTER HAF 932 RC-932-KKN1-GP Black Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case on sale at Newegg for about $129.98 with $4.99 for shipping although it's front fan is an LED fan.

Corsair 700D/800D but they're quite expensive.

The CM HAF 922 is pretty roomy inside and has a kill switch for the red led on the front fan.

The OP did say he wanted a full tower but if a mid-tower is suitable, there are more options to choose from.

It's on the large side of the mid tower....But scratch it as it doesn't have a front mounted firewire port. Missed it in his post :)

Ah duly noted. Yeah the front mounted ports get rid of a lot of options.

That cooler master meets my needs, despite the looks, I might go for it. Thanks to all.

I have a AZZA Solano 1000 full tower and love it. Includes 2x 240mm and 3x 120mm fans with a controller, lots of space, easy to work with, good looks, etc

Thanks, but I can't have the front usb ports on top of the machine. My desk draw would hit any usb sticks.

Second that thought completely.

Moved my main PC into one of those last year.....haven't regretted the money spent once. Excellent case!

I would've mentioned that case along with a few others but the OP never gave a budget so I went with lower priced options. In reality, most people wouldn't want to spend that much on a case.
