Do you have a budget for the case?
Since you're in Canada, are you planning to get the case on-line or from a actual store? The Antec Performance Series cases are good. Enlight, Chenbro, Lite-On, Addtronics and Lian Li are also good brands to look at.  Cricket

I know thermaltake makes some cool cases. How about an aluminum case? Look at Lian-Li cases for some really nice aluminums...

I heard that thermaltake had very good cooling although if im right they cost about $250. I know thats a little bit out of most peoples budgets.

Thermaltakes are very pricy...Essentially all they are, are standard cases with a window and some fancy colors.
I was planning on getting one for a while, but I think I will just buy a nice antec or enlight, and mod it how I want it.
