Default Computer Case Questions and Info.

Part of my build, posted here - New [Q9550/4870/X48] Build
I know some of this may have been answered previously in other threads, but I would like one place to gather all info for my build. Thanks.

Full Tower Case... Not picked yet...
- Good airlow, but not a messy look. Something like Lian-Li, or Cooler Master Cosmos case.
I pretty much want something with a lot of space, very clean lines, good airflow from front to back, top to bottom, and easy accessibility. One exception would be the HAF Coolermaster... Also if these "meshed-up" cases REALLY increase performance that much for air-cooled systems, then what do you suggest for a high-quality case?

+REP will be given for any help!

Thanks.

If your going to go with air cooling the Cosmos S and the Antec 1200 are the best of the bunch.
