Need a good gaming case

Like the title says, I need a good gaming case. I'm building my first computer, and have all the parts picked out which I posted before (here). I just wanted to do some quick research on the case I had picked out, so I searched Newegg. Reading the reviews, it seemed like a decent case, but like it had some problems. I mainly wanted it because of its looks and the LCD display on top. I realize I don't need that display since I plan on getting the Abit Fatal1ty AN8 SLi motherboard, which has the uGuru front panal and displays all the information I would want anyways. So basically, I want a good looking mid to full case with a side panel. Thanks for the help.

Please stay far far away from that case, i used it for a friends build and had to RMA it due to problems with the LCD and its made out of complete junk IMO (he wound up with the Tt case).

Thermaltake make great quality cases, Lan Li make top of the line cases, a few others are Silverstone, Antec, also aspire make decent cases just to name a few.

Hey man, your in luck!! Thermaltake has a very nice decent case, which I myself am using ...

Thermaltake XaserV7000C. Comes with 5 case fans, its a good nice case.

The best part is.... its dirt cheap, 32.00 for the case, because of the 40 dollar rebate, The rebate works!

Go for that case, its really well made and the panels and everything are sturdy. Favorite part is that theres so many case fans and that 2 of them are controllable via the two front knobs.
