Need ideas on a new case.

Hi

I'm thinking about getting a new case. I want a cool (as in temps) case that moves air very good. I don't like black cases, only white or silver. I have a good PSU already. I had one case in mind it was the Super Lan Boy. Does anyone have this case? What do you PcMech members think about it? Can anyone give me some ideas of other cases.

Thanks

The Super Lan boy is a very good choice,


If you don't mind aluminium, I came across this while shopping for my new case:

Looks like a reasonable quality case with one 80mm front and a 120mm rear fan should move air reasonably well

If you don't mind Db's in the jet engine range, look into the Cyclone 5000 Ultra Mid Tower. This baby pumps 229 CFM!!
I'm told that that's roughly equivalent to a Holly 650 quad with the pedal to the metal and all four barrels opened.

It defiantly keeps my twin OC'ed P III 700 - 980's at ambient operating temperature.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I already ordered the Antec Super Lan Boy.

Be roughly 1/3 or so of the CFM of the holley
