Another Case Recommendation Thread

Hello there,

I've got 3 cases on my shortlist the Lian Li PC-B10 and PC-B25FB or one of those new Fractal Design cases (I can wait till the new stock arrive

). As you can see I'd prefer a quiet case. I've currently got an HD4870 and an E8400 both at stock speeds. I may overclock slightly but that's unlikely.

What's the best choice?

Thanks for the suggestions!
I do have a fan controller at the moment, though I could just use the motherboard instead to slow down the fans. Also on my current case I can move the fan controller back so that the front doesn't protrude any further than my DVD drive. That does leave gaps though for a lot of dust to get in. If that was possible on the Fractal case, I assume the door would keep out a lot of the dust.
The P193 does look good. I didn't really give them a chance because a friend had the P182 and that thing was huge. I was leaning towards the B25FB but I may try the Fractal case as it's £50 cheaper.

Haha, Geek. I don't think so!

I think I'm gonna get the Fractal Design case. Will a HD5870 fit in one of those? This review says it won't but the Fractal site says it will fit graphics cards with a length of 290mm.

Merry Christmas all!

I had decided on the Fractal R2. Then I saw the Zalman MS1000-HS2, has anybody heard anything about it? I've read one review and it looks pretty good. I think I might hold out for the Full Tower version of the R2 that I read they'll bring out but I just wanted to see how good that Zalman was.
