im after a case

Im after a new case to replace my antec 1200. nothing up with it, just fancy a change.
I know the 1200 is one of the best air cooled cases around, so apart from the HAF X, what would be a nice replacement option.

Silverstone RV02/FT02? Best air cooling case overall, and doesn't look as ugly as the Haf.

yeah ive looked at them
i know it sounds daft, but its like there left pointing cases, i would have to totally rearrange my desk layout and to use on of them
would prefer something that ( if it has a window ) the front of the case is on my right and not left

if you know what i mean

Problem with the 1200 is that its over rated as a air cooler would probably be decent if every fan is replaced in it. I went from the 1200 to the original CM Haf 932 and it was a huge improvment in air cooling. Currently using a CM Atcs840 and its a very nice case and the cooling is excellent just need to replace the rear exhaust fans on them as they are not that great. As Marvin said i think the best air cooling case out at the min is the RV02/FT02 but as you said you dont like the layout so I would say the HAF X or the ATCS840. Theres also the Lancool K62's which are supposed to be very good at air cooling as well.

Why not the HAF X? The CM HAF series of cases are fantastic, I have the 922 and a friend has the HAF X they are both very good for the money.
