looking for a case that can accomadate the following:

portability to LAN parties
housing for a 240 radiator, pump and res
enough space for 3 graphics cards (future upgrades)
aesthetcially pleasing

i have been really interested in both the CM Sniper and the NZXT Phantom, however the Phantom has been used far to often and has become a bit of a fad.

how do you personally define "portability" and how does that fit into a liquid system with 3 gfx cards?

what is your opinion of the fractal arc midi in terms of styling? it doesn't have a window, but it's cheap for its feature set and has all the other features you are looking for. and it's easy to work with.

if you are more into a classic styling, the TJ04-E may be a better choice. has a big window and petty good looks. however it is more expensive then the midi and harder to find retailers that have them in stock.
