I am building a rig (only my second) and need help on finding a case. The problem frankly is I have rather large hands and my last rig was built in a massive full tower, but even there I had a hard time not breaking things. I would really appreciate suggestions! Components are as follows:

CPU- Intel i5
Motherboard- Gigabyte GA-P55M UD4
Memory- Gskill Ripjaw 4 GB (2 x 2GB) 1600mhz
Cooling- Corsair H50 Watercooling
PSU- Thermaltake Toughpower 1000W (totally necessary...)
GPU- GeForce 8800 GTS (this damn thing is really bulky!)
Hard Drives- Seagate 1TB 7200, and two WD 10000 Raptors


Ok there you have it! I am looking to have a solid gaming platform so I plan to be OCing after some research so it may get hot in there!

Bugget £70-100 but willing to stray from that if there is a reason.
 
I was also looking at some after market type cases on Ebay (of all places). There seems to be a pretty decent and cheap selection but I am a bit worried about the Gigabyte P55 UD4 possibly not being configured for them. Is my fear well founded?

Also on air flow I believe I read something to the effect that moving air out of a case is done better with fans that achieve higher pressure? Would that mean that the small/faster fans are more effective than the big 200m but slower fans?

If the case is atx compliant then the UD4 will fit. If you buy a case too ridiculously cheap it'll have things like the holes drilled in slightly the wrong place, and you'll cut your hands to pieces. The case is a bad thing to save money on.

Yeah I am going to go with a known name. I can barely work with a good case! With a bad one...

Think its between Antec 902 or the Coolmaster HAF 922. Thoughts?
