Hey folks. I have too much heat producing stuff crammed in a nice, but older, Antec midtower case (X2 6400+ BE, 8800 GTX, 4GB of RAM, and an X-Fi sound card). The five year old case just wasn't designed for all that gear. Even with a reseat of the cpu, an Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro and two 120mm fans (all it has mounts for) I still run at maximum for my cpu during gaming (63C).
I'm looking for a full tower case that has great airflow and cooling out of the box. I really don't want to go with a water cooling system (I don't OC anything), I just want one with good ventilation that will allow me to stay reasonably cool with my current gear. Any suggestions? Willing to spend upwards of $250 to stay "future-proof" for a few rebuilds in years to come. Thanks!
