Default I need a new case
Im looking to buy a new case, mine is pathetic when it comes to cooling, and is barely large enough. (Only 2 friggin fans... 2!!!!)

Im looking for something in the price range of maybe 100-200 USD

I hate the little doors on the front, I want to see my drives. Doors are too much, cause id prob end up taking them off, if I hadnt broken them.

Needs to be big enough to hold my 8800 GTS, right now there is prob half inch inbetween it and my hard drives. Makes it a ***** when I had to remove them.

The more fans the better.. I dont care if it sounds like a hellicopter taking off.

Id like at least 5 5.25 drives

Im gonna need a black case, as my 2 dvd burners, and my x-fi pannel are black.

I need front USB, I use those little usb memory sticks alot, and a firewire is a big plus, beacuse my camcorder uses it (damn thing had to be an individual, the only thing I own that requires it, when I bought it in Iraq, I had a hell of a time getting a firewire cable for it).

Looks are second to preformance, but if you can find a good looking case, please do


On a related note, anyone know of a good lcd display, for the front of my case.. if it has a card reader that supports xd..

I didnt know what I would need when I first bought this one, so now Im gonna have to get a new one.
I appreciate any help you guys can give me.

Thermal take armor is really nice. The black version weights a ton though. Get the aluminum one and paint it black.... yea really.

Ive looked at the TT amrom and the p180b ... both of them have something that covers the drive bays... the nine hundred looks nice, but id like a full size, not a mid tower
