Hey all..happy new year!

Santa got me another gtx580 for xmas so I bought a new psu to go with it and have come to the conclusion that the antec 300 i am using, anint big enough. Particularly with regards to airflow.

So...have been looking for an upgrade, my rig is based on a 3-4 yr lifespan so will want to tri fire another 580 at some point and would like my next case to support that with half decent airflow. Am currently using an i7200k oc'd to 4.8 on a asus p8z68 board.

The corsair range seems to be where i want to go, love the 650d and 800d but the 800d scores badly on airflow and i think the 650d would have probs with a third 580 when the time comes. The 600t is a stunner too but i fear a 3rd 580 would be too much for it also.

So am looking for something with decent airflow with similar cable management abilities as the 800d and something with a nice window panel on side.

What say you all?
 
Personally I think that the coolermaster HAF X case stands out for me. Its a case that has been designed for high air flow so your parts will be cooler. It has very good cable managing features room for a 360mm rad for water cooling and three fans. It as a side window but is not as big as the corsair's but big enough. Depending on your style there is the NVidia edition and normal. Linked below are the cases.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys, was trying to keep the budget to around £150. Decided on the 600T in white as i love the cable management and fan adaptability. Really wanted the 800D but couldnt justify the price. The £300 mark stuff looks great but cant justify the cost. Plan is to add a 3rd gtx580 at some point so will maybe move up the case ladder price range later.
