My full post is Here . I need a nice high quality case that has excellent cooling and some room. I'm thinking about This Coolermaster and this Tai-Chi . I've built all my other comps in Coolermaster Wavemaster cases but I want something better, especially in the cooling department. Thanks in advance for your thoughts and opinions, there much appreciated, Ed.

Hmm, I know Lian Li makes really nice cases and has a huge following. That comment about the Coolermaster 830 makes me wonder about one of my choices as well. Thanks, I'll have to look into that case !

I went and looked at your post and it seems like a lot of high end stuff.

If I could pic any case at all to replace my current full tower on wheels it would be this Lian Li tower on wheels. :thumbsup:

I like the 3 120mm fans and I like the numerous drive bays, not to mention the front plugin stuff and most important of all... the wheels!!! Once you experience a case on wheels it is very hard to go back to standard cases.

My next case will be this one or something very similar.

With Free shipping at the Egg thru Friday, this week is a good one for buying cases.

Take a look at the Silverstone Temjin 5 (SST-Tj05) as well.

The original CM Stacker is on rebate as well as free ship at the Egg. If you're planning an extreme system, IDK how you could beat this as it's the cheapest that comes set up to handle dual PSUs (save a lot using two medium sized PSUs instead of one whopper).

Also don't miss the iStar cases (the ones w/o PSU unless you need a nice redundant).

Huh?

Not that I would buy a case at 'the Egg', but nothing I looked at had free shipping... :confused:

See the thread in Hot Deals - I tried to get them to make it a sticky thru Friday, but no go.
Just search on Newegg. And bump it while you're there.

Well, I gave Lian-Li a very hard look, an honest 10 hours looking at every case they make and reading feedback at various places. I had no idea they made so many. I ended up really liking a couple of them. If I was into the double power supply thing, then the LIAN LI PC-A10A would be a top contender and probably my pick. It's still in contention, I just wish they made a side window for it. The one that's really caught my eye though is the LIAN LI PC-60APLUSII . I know there's issues with some PSU's interfering with the top mounted fan, but every time I look at that case I like it. Anybody know why it's priced so cheap campared to all the others ? Kinda gives me a funny feeling :Q One other thing, On Lian Li's website they have a Wheels Stand kit that can be purchased, anyone know if that fits any of there cases that come without them..?

You have a strange sense of cheap. Many LL midtowers cost 30% or more less than that one.

Well, right when I thought I had a Lian Li picked out, I ran into the SILVERSTONE TJ09 :p Anyone out there using one that could share there thoughts ? I did find a pretty nice review for it Here . Does Silverstone have the same quality that Lian Li's have ?

One of those kinda deals, eh?

Okay, thanks anyway!

I'm NOT 'the Egg coupon' kinda guy, I guess...

I'll leave that stuff to the Lian Li crew! :D

You could go to Performance-PCs and see if they will make a window for you for the Lian Li PC-A10. I'm sure they would. That is a great case. I would also recommend that you go with the Lian Li PC7 Plus II over the PC 60A. Much better case.

Well, I really fell in love with this case SILVERSTONE TJ09-BW between last night and today, I just ordered one. So I have everything now or on the way to stuff it with except the ram and a good drive/burner. Asus Striker MB, X6800 Conroe, two EVGA 8800 GTX's for sli, two 150 GB Raptors for a raid 0 setup, and a 1000W enermax Galaxy PS. Can't wait to be able to game again :laugh:

God, but you sure know how to spend the $$$s! This is only the second one I've seen with a 120m fan mount in the removeable mobo drawer. At least this one has some rubber isolation for the HDDs. Most other Silverstone cases lack that. I don't know where you live, but several places are beating the Egg on before-shipping/tax price on the 09BW. And it seems to hit all my other Casitude Criteria ((c) 2006 by me) too. The TJ07 was way off.

Hope you enjoy it...
