any of the lian lis that the card will fit in are nice, lian li as a rule are nice

a P7 one? would i have to buy a load of fans though to keep everything cool?

did you see the link to the chart on the thread i said to look in? cos it has a full list of what cases it will fit in on there, and any of the lian li ones will be nice, good quality cases, if it does fit in the pc7 (didn't check the chart myself) then yes, it will, but if it 's not listed then it wont, also the cooling on nvidea cards is quite nice, certainly better than the ATi cooling, so what ever case you get should be okay with stock fans, or if you want cooler for quieter then pick up some akasa ambers.

hay tom, mate i strongly recommend a lian li pc-7 (black or silver whatever you prefer) with a pair of good 120mm fans - awesome case, looks good and will cool - oh and quite cheap

aalso mate we need to talk on msn, for your res you better of with a 8800GTS not a gtx - its overkill on your budget

Quoted for truth. The Lian-Li's are top models and am getting one myself very soon.

Does the PC-7 take 2 120mm fans?? The description states "12 cm ball bearing x 1, 8 cm ball bearing x 1" - are they failing to mention a slot for another fan? Also, how quiet are the stock fans on the PC-7?

yea, thats wrong, it should be 2x120mm, but they haven't bothered to change the description. should be enough
