Default Considering this case

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811119074

I have an older version I am using again,I had a Thermaltake Xaser III which is huge.That case was ok,but I have a hard time lifting it.
Also my temps dropped using the Coolermaster case,but the one I have has no place for a sidefan like the one I am thinking about buying.
What are your thoughts on this case?

Looks nice, if you can remove that little tube thing and put a fan there it would be great. Coolermaster makes a great cases so you won't be disappointed build wise.

I already have the one that is exactly like it,just no side vent,and I have to agree it is one of the best cases I have owned in the last 10 years.The TT case was nice but bigger then I need now.
I am sure the side tube will come off or break off one of the two and an 80 mil will fit there,my reasoning of wanting it.Thanks for the reply.

Yeah popping a fan on there will greatly lower your temps. I remember my old fanless case, i put a 30cfm fan in there and dropped temps a good 8c off the CPU, IIRC.
