I want to update my case to something that I can actually see the components inside and still have good air flow for my air cooling setup.
Really like the Lian Li lancool II and the Fractal Design Meshify C Light tint glass.

Benchmark Scores Faster than yours... I'd bet on it. :)
2 threads exist... one for a case, one for a cooler. I think we need to know what case before we select a cooler to make sure it fits..
But yeah.. budget? What components do you have? Etc.. more info would be nice... and maybe merger the two topics since they are related.

$120 or so for a case that will fit a big air cooler.

I like these 3 in that general price range they can all fit a Noctua D15 so should be plenty wide for most large air coolers.
