PC-V1000Z. It's an old model.
I've got a 900, the top fan is a bitch to replace and costs half as much as the case itself if it ever breaks.
Big fans with gigantic fucking spotlight LED's in them are too bright for any room you sleep in, either A go for the sleek simple cases posted above, or water cool that shit with less LED.
It's a case. Not a spaceship. Unless you are 15, you don't need ground effects and a rice burner case with a chrome muffler on it.
I will vouch for the Antecs having decent~ airflow, but some of the ones posted above probably trump it. With my Tuniq tower and 4870X2, there really is no airflow at all in it.
Don't get me wrong, I love LL too, a lot of my watercooling cases have been LL... but you shouldn't forget the Chief either. Chieftec CA-01B-B-SL is what I was using for a server before I needed extra expansion slots, and its still serving as a server now that I made my old gaming machine into one.
i'll never understand why they put the multimedia panel on the bottom of some cases. Who is seriously going to have a full sized case up on the desk? I don't want to bend down to the floor each time i want to plug shit in
I used to be a big Chieftec fanboy back in the day when I did fabrication, and in-house mods. They were some of the easiest cases to work with. While my taste has obviously substantially changed over the years. For the price, you can't beat them for the space.
One of my old rigs (yes, mind the LED'age, but this was a case I did back in 2004-2005? during the P4-era).

Every LED was re soldered (26 individual LED's -.-) to a USB switch so when the screensaver turned black after 10 minutes of inactivity, the entire machine lit down with it. Pics above were the early stages of the rig, added sound padding, Pentium 4 Extreme Edition 3.7ghz, along with more conservative grills later on (radioactive ones were the only ones I had laying around at the time aha). Was a very fun machine to play with.
Sorry for the reminiscence.![]()
I actually own the xclio, it's so big, my room mate is not big on the very bright LED though, my room mate always complain it being too bright

This case has everything you could possibly want for an air cooled system.
Said sexy, not Ben Stein.
HAF 932 or 922. Both are kick ass and wont break the bank. If money is not an issue go with the Obsidian D800.
Wow the Aplus twin engine looks pretty sexy, probably loud as hell though.
I concur. Great case and functionality.
However, for my next build, thinking of replacing my current HAF 932 with a SS Fortress FT-02. Costs a pretty penny, but it looks great and it's set up just makes sense.
I'd suggest Lina-Lis, but they're hella expensive with a comparative case from a different brand.
I have this case here http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/Produc...C=1309&ID=1888
Antec is the answer.

(Edit) The Black Series version has fan mounts for 3 80mm fans in the rear for HDD cooling and maybe a 160 radiator or just all exhaust. This one is the original.
And if you can get smooth creations to agree to a custom paintjob ranging from anything you can end up with something like this:

Danger Den Tower 26 Black is an amazing case for watercooling an very sexy.
