Well then you might as well go with whatever is cheapest. Perhaps no case at all.

well, heres the first case I bought
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811156139
Though mine was the first model and was made by Antec when they were around. Pretty good case. Where the front is I disassembled the whole front end of the case and put some fans there to blow on the HD's.

Worth every penny. Trust me, if you buy a cheap case you will regret it later. I went through several and had problems with heat, noise and space. I finally upgraded to an all-aluminum lian-li knock-off which was great. But the antec 900 beats everything I've had before. Never seen load temps drop nearly 10c with any other upgrade. The g80s run hot, so unless yer cool with temps above 80c, I'd recommend not skimping on the case.

Damn, I didn't know antec was still making cases o.0 Oh well, I'm a lian li convert now 
The case I posted does a great job at radiating heat too. warms my feet when I use it at a foot rest

Antec P180..
I have a thermaltake, and it sucks. I wont ever buy from them again, not at the price they charge. As for Lian Li, good cases, but over priced.

Thermaltake to me is like the ricer shit retards by for their lil imports. Last buddy had a case from them and it was just some piece of shit with crap quality. The only case that ever caught my eye was the Tai Chi but WAY to expensive. Even the version without the water cooling is till over 300 bucks which is pure BS. Lian Li I'll admit is a lil over priced but their quality makes up for it. I mean hell I got into an episode with my comptuer cause it pissed me off and started beating the hell out of it with my fist. When I stopped I had bruised knuckles, skin torn off and not even the slightest blemish on my case. |

I agree that the Tai Chi is certainly overpriced, also the supplied 3 drive HDD module would be better had it supported 5 drives. But for me the potential internal space that the case offers and it's design won me over. With my current 4 x 320GB drives, I still have lots of room to add more. Also, even with a single front and rear 120mm fan (using Intels C2D cooler) my idle temp is 39C, 45C load and x1950xtx idles at 62C, 76C load, which I'm quite happy with.

That lian li server version of the case I have is fuckin spaztasticaly awsome. The drive bays at the bottom are very conviently placed, the air flow is great and im only using stock cooling and my CPU idles at around 39 idle and my vid card 47. The case's lil holes GREATLY help radiate the heat and with awsome space. Theres holes at the bottom of the case that you can add more fans to pull out heat and so forth. I mean the tai chi without the kit vs. lian li I'm sure Lian Li would kick the shit out of it. That and it doesn't have those annoying doors on the front and no plastic so shit won't break easy.

/agree
I bought the Thermaltake Xaser V Damier back when it was brand new.. I got it because of the marketing crap on the website which shows the thermal awesomeness of the case.. etc.. At first I liked it, good build quality overall.. It was when I tried to install stuff into it that everything became clear. Firstly, screwless.. GREAT I thought. Until one of the PCI "holders" snapped off in my hand. Then the cuts, and general damage to myself during building.. this thing is made of razer sharp death metal.. Then the wires, MY GOD WHY DO I NEED THIS MUCH CRAP! ARghh..
