I'm sure there's a case out there that fills your needs but there is more to choosing a case than you indicate. The following reflects an experience shopping for a case. The two subject cases are very similar however with many differences. Enermax is steel and only fills 3 of 7 fan holes and sells for $75+$15. Thermaltake has side window and fan control. I'm uninterested in either feature but it has all 7 fans and is aluminum. But it is $153 and the Enermax comes to $135 when upgraded with the features I require and are included in the Thermaltake. In other words, Reseach is an important aspect of making any PC component purchase. And there are many Etailers out there, some make it hard so I look for those that have Manufacturers Links. Ditto on newegg and mwave. Good Luck!
