Really, anything that gives you lots of 120mm fan options is pretty much awesome.

that depends on your point of view. alot of "king" titles do have limitations to the definition. just because FT02 is "king" for air cooling, doesn't mean it can claim any liquid titles without substantial mods to the case. plus the fact that not all aftermarket GPU coolers are bad for the FT02 so there are just some you have to stay away from if you want to take advantage of the superior design of the FT02/RV02-E. kinda like saying Ferrari runs like crap on regular gas,(87 octane) but if you feed it airplane fuel(105 octane) on a nice freezing day at sea level atmospheric pressure... biggrin.gif not all king titles need to be king of everything. like Michael Jordan with baseball for example smile.gif

Raven RV02 All day. The rotated motherboard combined with the fans makes air shoot through this thing like lightning...really chill lightning.

Lots of fans. Front, rear, top, bottom and several side fan options

Do a search for it on youtube and you'll get better idea of what it has because the site is pretty $hitty with few pics.

You can also mount the PSU in the front/bottom so the two bottom fans can blow UP towards the mobo.

The Shinobi XL I have would make one helluva air cooling case. 3x 230mm fans stock, tons of configurations possible. Could have 3 120's in the front for intake, 3 in the top for exhaust, a 140 in the rear, and a 120 in the floor. Personally, I would do a 230 front intake, 2 x 230mm top exhaust, a 140 rear exhaust, and a 120 intake in the floor. Priced at about $150-$200, depending. Better cooling than even the HAF series, and MUCH better looking.
