Well, I'm considering this one now. Will get a new case soon if it kills me, just wondering if the build quality is pukka. Needs to be big so I guess this could be a consideration. You'll find it in OcUk value case section.
 
You'd have to pay me to take that case! As above, Antec 1200 is good, if on more of a budget nothing wrong with the 300 or 900 (probably more to your taste).
 
I'll take your advice, probably will spend well over 100 smackers, must be a big case, may well go for the nvidia coolermaster stacker special, the ati one from Lian Li is too expensive and not quite as nice looking.

Well the antec 1200 is HUGE so that would prob be fine for you needs :)
 
Wouldn't touch XClios except to throw them out from window...

83x bling-Stacker is big only externally because bling eats space, internally it's midi tower with extra depth. Also it puts PSU to bad place forcing it to suck in heat from CPU. (like Lian Li P80)
Also if you want space forget anything which can't house E-ATX motherboard, those get cramped between long graphic cards and front bays.

If you want all 5.25" design then Lian Li A77 is currently top choise in my list:

Otherwise Lian Li A70 or in case of wanting silencing friendly features door equipped A71:

Antec 1200 isn't that bad looking I suppose, I appreciate the 900 is popular - obviously does the job re : cooling but by God it looks it but naff imho.
 
As much as I HATE this case - one of the guys I used to work with went and got one. The cooling is brilliant! It looks terrible and wouldn't want one, but those 2 fans pump so much air through that heat should not be an issue and you can't hear it either.

Hes got quad pheonom in there with HD4870 running under 30 degrees with stock cooling on the phenom, don't know about the gfx.
Either way, if you like the look of it, I wouldn't worry about cooling.
 
I like the look of it but from reading the many reviews I just get the impression the build quality and inconsistency turne me off it. Will order my chosen case on Thurs or next Monday.
 
when the first one came out (under a different brand name) it was fairly popular and it looked pretty sleek but this version just looks awful. Best to spend money on a antec 1200 or something similar.
