I am looking for a cool case (in both senses of the word). The three I've been looking at are the Lian-Li PC7, Wavemaster and Praetorian.

Now first off I've been hearing high praise of the looks and quality of the PC7 and at £57 it seems like a bargain. Although I'm guessing it's a thinner casing than the CoolerMasters as it's advertised as low weight, I mean I've seen the Wavemaster and it's an impressive thickness especially at the front- almost like a giant heatsink. Obviously the CM's are bigger cases too, which makes them cooler by default.

I'll only want to spend the extra money on a Coolermaster if theres more than a 10% difference in temps.

I've suffered with high case temperatures/ noisy fans and an ugly Antec Sonata with acoustic padding which I was too lazy to remove after fitting for too many years, please advise me which of these three to get!

edit: Also is it worth holding out for the Lian-Li S80 and do you think it will be worth it's price tag?
