What is the best case choice for air cooling?

[waddles]

I am making my computer soon. I want to spend less than $3,000. I need a good and quality built case that has excellent air cooling. I was think the Li-Lian PC-V1100. What do you people think about this? Is there another case that is better and cost less or only a little more?

Antec P180 is a very good choice

With $3000 as your budget, you can afford the best. And the best would be the P180.

I don't think the V1100 is a great air cooled case from an absolute temperature standpoint. I just purchased a Lian Li PC-60APlus and this thing has all kinds of air blowing through it.

I know there have been about 100 posts with this same topic.

P180
CM Stacker
Silverstone ... erm, something.

The P180 does indeed look like a nice case. If it didn't have a door up front and was a full tower (maybe a polycarbonate side panel too?) it would be drool-worthy, IMO. 😉

P180 is nice, or the Stacker if you can handle it.

one of those mountain mod UFO boxes cools very good... 9x 120mm fans would do a great job of cooling

If you get a Lian Li V1100, make sure it's the PLUS version, as it will have better airflow than the "non-plus". I'm going with this case for my next build.
