Replacment Case suggestions

[ikonia]

Hello all,

I'm thinking of replacing one of my machines existing cases as its a full tower monster....which is just taking up too much room, and its a dull cream colour.

If I'm considering replacing the case with a mid tower, I thought I'd have some fun with it. I'm open to suggestions on which tower to choose and what mods are available to it.

I've looked at some of the images on here...and wow !!!! I think the coolest looking ones are the aluminium type with a nice lcd front pannel some side pannel and internal modding and the silver covers for CD/Floppy drives.

Here is my requirments....use your imagination and have some fun.


Standard ATX mobo with Athlon CPU (COOLING !!!!)
I want lots of fan space for as much cooling as possible - plus lit up fans look cool
Inside is going to be a bit cramped with Video/Sound/SCSI/2 Network cards and 2 harddisks.

Now for the bays....this is where it gets tough, I have 2 harddisks hogging to internal bays, 1 DVD drive, and 1 DDS tape drive so
a.) Space behind the bays is going to be cramped (keep in mind I quite fancy having and LCD display)
b.) finding a surround to fit the tape drive appears a tough challange !


With that in mind - give me your options

I look forward to seeing what you come up with

Matt.
