Hi guys,

I need a bit of advice on the case with the best cooling properties.
The reason is I live in southern Spain so inside room temps can get pretty high (30C +)

I am looking to buy this setup http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-030-OE

:- Intel Core i7 920 2.66Ghz D0 Overclocked to 3.40GHz!
:- Gigabyte EX58-UD3R Intel X58 (Socket 1366) PCI-Express DDR3 Motherboard
:- Corsair XMS3 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 (1600MHz) Tri-Channel
:- Corsair TX 650W ATX2.2 SLI Compliant PSU

An important note, is I will get an ATI 5870, but would like the ability to run two of these in the future, so would need the space for that.

I don't care what it looks like, but budget is up to £100 ideally maybe a touch more if something perfect is out there!! Also, I would rather not have a huge case if I can help it, but I know the bigger it is the better the cooling....it's just the other half will kill me if I get a huge great lump!

So in summary, best cooling possible (fans, not water), ability to fit 2x5870, and not too big.

If possible :D

Thank you!

Thanks for the recommendations, the only problem is with them both is the noise. Being in Spain I would probably have to have the fans on full in the Summer, and in all the reviews I have read, it sounds like both of these are pretty noisy on full, almost unbearable.

Also, the Antec 1200 is a bit too flash looking for my liking with the LED's, and thought of having to undo 36 thumb screws and remove HDDs just to clean the filter sounds like too much money for not enough design consideration.

I really do appreciate the advice though, but without trying to sound picky, is there anything smaller, and quieter? *insert blushing smilie*
 
Okay I've been looking around and have to admit, the Antec 1200 does seem the best, so that one it is, thank you both!
 
wow that is one funky case!!! Too dangerous with my missus though, she would jam the hoover in there when its running or something lol.
Also, noise would be too much I think really as EsaT said :)
I do see the theory behind it though thanks for the suggestion!
