Suggest a case, please
Im looking for a case for my xmas build. Im looking for a big case thatwould hold a 8800gt without a doubt. It should look good, but none of them cases that look like a nade exploded inside and have lots of leds everywhere. Maybe a window...? Preferably black but is not a big factor. And hopefully it doesnt blow a hole in my pocket so it shouldnt be that dear. Thanks in advance, GLeN

go to places like dabs.com/ebuyer.com etc and find one that suits you. personally i think alot of "value" cases meet most peoples needs so dont be put of by the cheap price. also reviews are a very good thing to go by.
any idea on how much you want to spend?

The Cooler Master Cosmos 1000 case is perfect for this build. I highly recommend it.

Antec 900 is very good- but according to others cable management can be a problem. However its looks are like marmite - you either love or hate it.

Agreed...just have to be imaginative if wiring is a premium concern. From the factory t comes with 2 big straps to hold the wiring to the mobo tray behind the drive bays. Looked ok that way when I first put mine together.....but then my dremmel got the best of my 900 and all my wires are behind the tray now...lol

I would check my case out (see system specs) on newegg. It was only $75 and is 8800GTX compatible. The giant 240mm and 120mm fans are as quiet as could be, and you could fit a small child with the space you have (not recommended..) Best case you can get for the price IMO.

Gigabyte 3DAurora 570. I bought one for the same reasons, large amount of room, strong built, nice window. Sadly I had to sell my rig. Go check it out online. Mine is for sale but I'm guessing shipping would be a bit much from me to you.

its black kinda heavy but thats expected very simple neat design also i had a sunbeam tech case that was pretty good to me to

there have been loads of case suggestion threads already, but anyway, cooler master cosmos or cooler master stacker 832 are 2 great ones.

coolermaster cosmos is great. If you want portablity why not go for a thermaltake lanbox or something similar from Silverstone? Silverstone rocks just check my Avatar! lol
you want small I can did up a nice small case and a real good matx board thats just as good as an Gigabyte ds3 ATX board if not better.. its a board by Gigabyte a g33 model.. the most expencive one its only $140 and can hit like over 500fsb.

I've owned so many cases, it ridiculous. Antec, thermaltake, enermax, you name it. This is the best case I've eve owned. It's very roomy, has a motherboard tray, good airflow, and it's solid as a tank. Seriously, check it out:
