Can somebody tell me what the best black case atm is for air cooling a computer. Going to be housing a pentium D system with a single graphics card powered by an enermax liberty 620w.

Stacker with 3 modules, those replaced Delta Crossflow fans. Side Delta 12cm cross flow with Akasa 8cm to 12cm mount, top 8cm Crossflow, two 12cm Crossflows for exhaust.

EOL.

Well silence is golden

Just really want a nice looking and quiet case which is easy enought o work in. The P180 was my favourite, but it seems a lot of people prefer the akasa and I wanted to know whether it's worth the money.

Theres quite a few praise the Eclipse threads about at the moment:

The Lian-Li PC-7 PLUS Black Aluminium Midi-Tower Case (No PSU) (CA-054-LL) looks very nice.

It's on my list of things to get

My p180 is good, especially if you add an extra fan at the front

I have it...it's a shexshy case...don't know about the cooling as I haven't put a PC in it yet, and it's bound to be better than my current case so have no real cases to compare against. Personally I love the smooth clean lines of the PC-7 compared to the Eclipse. But the Eclipse does have black insides which is cool.
