I'm looking at treating myself to a new case for xmas :D to replace my Antec Sonata which has virtually no airflow. but I'm torn between 3 cases for my rig. i5 2500k @ 4.4 GHz, Corsair H60 cooler and 560GTX graphics card. The 560 fans make a hell of a noise when they spin up while playing games and I use an external 2.5 SATA drive for backups which currently uses an esata cable to connect to the pc. So I need a case with good airflow and preferably an esata port on the front or I could maybe fit a dock into a drive bay. The cases I'm looking at are the

Corsair 650D
Corsair Carbide 500R
Fractal Design Define R3 Black Pearl
 
The fractal arc midi seems to have had bad reviews regards it's build quality, the silverstone is a bit too large I'm looking for a midi sized case. That Antec p280 looks interesting I'll have to see if OcUK get them in stock.
 
I am being drawn towards the 650D, maybe Santa could bring me one with an OcUK water cooling kit installed to replace my Corsair H60 :)
