You don't need lots and lots of fans for good cooling. An Akasa Eclipse with 2x120mm fans (possibly the optional side panel/fan) would do the job fine.

Lian Li PC-7 - has 2 x 120mm fans as standard and has room for an 80mm exhaust fan on top of the case and has a mesh panel that will take upto 120mm fan for GPU cooling.

got mine the other week and im very happy with it.

I don't suppose you got that from OcUK did you?
The website says they're selling the mark 2 version which only has 2 x 120 fan slots, but they have been known to be slow when updating their descriptions in the past.

In fact the PC7 sold here was described as the original when actually they were selling the newer mark 2 version. It was like this for quite a while as I remember.

Me too, just ordered the Antec p182.

Comes with 3 120mm fans and room for another two. It's on special offer this week.
And it looks deadly!

The overclockers descriptions are wrong.

the PC-7 they sent me has 2 120mm fans, 80mm mounting point in the roof of the case and a mesh panel in the side.

I ordered the extra side panel and although it shows it only has a clear window it also has the mesh for GPU cooling.

Thanks

Might have to get one of them.
