    How much space do you have for a case? What do you want from a case?

    I'm a big fan of the Akasa Eclipse 62, personally...

    i quite like this one i dont have it but it would be the one i would get.

    apparently it silences things pretty well, the psu is kept at the bottom and it has an
    exhaust port at the top.

    The P180 is a nice case, I've also had the Antec Sonata, also a good case.

    I currently have the Gigabyte 3D Aurora Case, its really roomy, on budget and the cooling provided by the twin 120mm rear fans is just great. You can also personalize the fron projector thing which is just awesome. Highly Recommended

    I've got the P160 - its predecessor - excellent case, so the P180 should be as good. Can't you get a Stacker for that money now tho?

    Or a centurion 530, for my money the 5 is nicer.

    That Silverstone case is very nice.

    Shame about the front intake, yet nothing has beaten the Lian Li PC 7 PLUS.

    Thanks mates.

    It does have one, although stuff like that is rare as hens teeth, i had orders with 4 different places before i got the one for my stacker, by all accounts coolermaster are having supply difficulties in europe.

    The only problem with some Antec cases is that they come with a built in PSU which can be hard to take out
