Angry Fire coolest case

Which cases have the best cooling scheme, and can accomodate an ATX mobo. I was thinking about this one: http://antec-inc.com/pro_details_enc...?ProdID=90510#

I need a case w/at least 2 or 3x 3.5" internal bays, and around 4 or 5x 5.25" internal bays. I don't need a case window, and portability isn't an issue at all...

thanx... Josh

I'm a bit of a sucker for Thermaltake at this point. You could go with a Chieftech and get the same thing if you don't need all the flash.

I voted for Antec, but to tell you the truth, it doesn't really matter what brand you get. Sure you want a good, sturdy case, but the look, material, etc. is up to you. I prefer cases that are solidly built, and maybe a window or something. Some of the Alienware and Thermaltake cases just have extra "stuff" that seems to get in the way of the overall design.

Sure I like to see cool mods, but for my PC's, a plain old black or gray case will do.

"Other" is winning. Too bad it isn't the vote for the democratic presidential candidate.

I voted Antec, I really like mine, but I also use Chieftec and Enlight for a no non-sense case.
