It seems every case has its downfalls

Antec 900 - made of steel so really heavy, bad cooling + space
Lian-Li PC-7 - plain
Lian Li PC-B20B - bit out of budget
Eclipse 62 - seems ugly + plain
Thermaltake Shark - like the look of this, does anyone know how the insides compare to the PC-7?

Need some help :(

I built a PC for my bro two days ago with the Antec 900 and didn't really run into any problems. We cut a few holes in the back of the case to allow for a more tidy cable job, and there was easily enough space, although it was hardly cavernous. At the moment with all fans running on either low or medium (I'm can't remember what we set them to) and a tuniq on low, a E6600 @ stock with two instances of FAH running (so 100% ish) its at 32 degrees (Coretemp). Hardly what i'd call bad cooling, better than what I have achieved on my E6300 in a Lian Li PC-7. Could be a little bit quieter, and probably wil be when placed under a desk but acceptable noise levels.

Although I'd probably go with something else myself, I would easily recomend this if yours trying to keep the price down. I found this guide to be very helpful when modding it a bit.

The pc7 is a really really good case, why not get that and jazz it up with some LED fans a window etc. ;)

I 2nd That, i have one and they a superb cases. you couldn't ask for more and at its price its unbeatable. Its always cool to the touch and very light. Also the supplied fans shift a lot of air and with 7v modding are quite. Id highly recommend getting this case :)
 
I would get the antec 900 because it has the best cooling
especially with summer coming.

Thermaltake have been known by some on this forum as not having excellent build quality like brands such as Lian Li. Have a google for some reviews, if it's well built like seth said then there's one answer :)
