Im having trouble finding a good case. I want atleast 2 80MM fans brings air in and 2 80mm fans taking air out. I found this case but the only canadian store that ships is is out of stock and because they only ship UPS its going to cost me $93 and im not paying $93 just to ship a case that already costs $200. Any suggestions? The only other cases I can find that have the type of cooling I want is Thermaltake but I dont like the way they are branded. Coolermaster's wave master is kinda nice and I could probably take the USB ports off the top and put another fan up there but it is kind of a boring case to look at (IMO). I also looked at the Antec p160 but thats got 120MM fans that I dont know if I want that because I have a bunch of LED 80mm fans layin around that I dont want to trough away. Please someone im having trouble finding a good case.
 
That's my kingwin case!
Although one 120mm fan is a good replacement for 2 80's. Less noise too.
I wish mine had a 120mm fan. :(

If you go to LANs a lot I would consider this case. Link
If you do not, I would check out this case. Link This case does not include a front fan but it has mounts for a 120mm fan.

Both of these use 120mm fans for intake and exhaust. That's a lot of CFM but not a lot of noise.
 
I thought about buying the antec super lanboy and I read a whole bunch a good reviews about it but then when I went to the store I didnt like the plastic look that much. But I still might get it. I think the P160 would be a better choice though because its a bit bigger and the only lan party I go to is fragapalooza which is once a year. If its still not enough air for me I could probably put an 80mm blow hole in the side and a exhaust on the top. Maybee I should just get the 120mm fans instead though. I think two 80mm would move a bit more air but at the cost of noise. I dont really care how noisey it is though because I use headphones when im gaming.
This looks like a nice case. Except no side windows and slide out motherboard tray. Ill go read some reviews on it. Dont know if I like the blinding lights on the Sonata though.
 
Lights on the sonata? There are none!
hehe

I like the Antec 160 too. It is a very good case but it costs a bit more I think.

A 120mm fan can match the air flow of two 80mm while being slightly less noisy.
Usually ppl pick a 120mm fan because they can hold an acceptable cooling level while drasticly reducing the noise.
 
oo, I've never seen 'em lit up I guess.
Might be my next case anyway. ;)
