Default new Thermaltake case... sweet.

Thermaltake's got a new case at NewEgg. It's aluminum, is called the Eureka, and looks really sweet. Looks about the same price as the Shark and the aluminum Armor.

Just like the Shark but 4" too long IMO.

Look at how far the cables stretch: SEE HERE.

It may need new (longer) SATA cables too go along with it, as the one that MoBos come with don't seem to be "that" long. Something to point out.

The front isn't open mesh like the armor for fan intake. If you want to see a sweet mid aluminum, try the thermaltake matrix.

Its under $100 canadian and has open mesh front with a space to add afor a thermaltake icage.

It comes stock with 2 120mm fans. Add the icage and you would still have a 5.25 bay for dvd rw and two 3.5 bays (fan controller/card reader/floppy etc) and then mount hard drives inside the icage.

I love my armor but if I was on a budget or wanted a smaller case, this would be it.

This is still the best case on the market. Now that they brought out the a2400 door with a 25cm fan (not available yet dammit!), its even better. Even my modded door doesn't compare.

Both the Eureka and Armor are Full tower ATX, I would assume they are roughly the same size.

The armor is still better for air cooling. You can't beat a front mesh. Thats why the armor and the coolermaster stacker series are considered the best designs. Suck in cool air from the front, exhaust out the back.
