so, im looking to upgrade to 2011 sandybridge, with a 6950.
have 6 HDDs and 2 disk drives.

im currently looking at the raven-03, the antec 1100, and the cm storm trooper.

which is better/worst. and any pro-s cons. OR are therte any beasts out there that i have completely overlooked ?

cheers, Nate

EDIT: my sic is COMPLETELY outdated btw

The Fractal R3 looks good, but can't stand doors on cases. And yeah, up to £100 for the case (a bit more if its THAT good). I am after a more "sleek" looking case, and the raven 03 is currently looking the best.

ill have a look at the corsair 550d now

Biggest issue with the 550D was that it was supposed to be released two months ago... For some reason we still haven't got it...

If you want something more 'sleek', perhaps the Shinobi XL may be worth stretching to? Although, to be fair, if you want to air cool, the RV03 is better.

That brings me to another issue i had been debating... Air cooling or a watercooling kit?? which is best (and also easiest to use/will they work with these cases ect?)
im heading towards air cooling atm... but a watercooling kit is tempting
cheers

By watercooling kit do you mean a proper watercooling kit, or something like the H80?

something like the H80 (as you can tell, im juggling ideas for just about every component atm :S)
