    Find me a case

    Currently have a lian li pc7 with window, it looks nice, aluminium etc but the air flow is pants, im after something new, have roughly £150 to spend and would like a window also i do not want a door on the front as i cant stand the things ( had one on my old thermaltake tsunami ), colour has to be black and have decent air flow and plenty of room.

    Anybody any ideas ?

    I would suggest looking at scan ... I think for £150 you could get an isotope case they look cool. Don't think they have a window though :/

    this hexus review shows You the amount of space youve got inside: http://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=7179&page=3 thats with watercooling gear and an 8800GTX!
    http://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=7205 and thats there review of the case itself

    Ive got 4 hds in the lower cages with a low speed 120mm fan in the fan holder and they are cooler than they were in my old thermaltake case with a 1400rpm 120mm fan blowing straight on them (that did have a filter on it tho and the drives were right next to each other). they are quieter too due to the foam strips etc.
