Selecting a new case

[demon9k]

Right so I'm looking to start building up my next PC, I've had my current one for around 3-4 years now and I'm finally getting around to upgrading.

I've been researching cases over the internet and was pretty impressed by the Coolermaster 831 or 830. Mainly due to reviews such as Here and here. I had a look through the forums and found a few threads but they all say that it's not that great for cooling. A lot of people seem to recommend the Akasa Eclipse 62, but I just don't like the look.

Can anyone recommend me a case or hopefully back up the positive reviews on the two links above? I'll be going for a top of the line gfx card, probably 5+ hard drives, 1-3 CD drives depending on space available. Doesn't need to be fantastic at cooling for major overclocking but something that won't run to hot.

Thanks in advance for any help

How about a Lian-Li V1000+II? It seems to tick all the boxes and looks far less grotesque than the 830s.

I would love to have one of these:

I see a V1100 Plus II or a V1000 Plus but not the V1000 Plus II.

I like the look of the V1000 Plus seems to have all things I want however I have been reading that there are issues with power supplies fitting into the case. Seems you need to remove a row of hard drives cages to fit larger models in, which I suspect I'll need if I'm to power all my components.

And I think the 830 has issues fitting larger PSUs at all, they resolved this with the 832 though.
