There is a particular case that I have always really liked but never got around to buying.

Given the rash of cases these days with a squillion 120/140mm fan mounts do you still think the case would be good enough to cool a modern quad system?

Don't normally spend more than I have to on cases, given my rigs are mere crunchers.
But it would be nice to treat myself to one classy enclosure.

Your views? :)

Good, "old school" case. There are certainly newer and better models available, with the same kind of look, including a few of the newer Silverstone and some Lian Li cases.

That case is alittle too big for my tastes but looks like it would be good for a bunch of video cards
