I'm looking into getting a new case and i was thinking about getting the antec lanboy. I've read here and there that this case is bad because it doesnt support enough fans. Right now my case temp is around 35-37c under load using a raidmax scorpio and 4 cheapo case fans. I was thinking to offset the lack of fan support on the lanboy I would use vantech tornados in front and back. Do you think this would keep it cool enough for my oc? Any room for more ocing? If not any case suggestions? I dont really like carzy colorful pre mods. Something a little more classy and clean but a window is a must

I think that with 2 tornadoes, you will have no problem. You might want to opt for a fan controller aswell since those fands are damn loud.
I like the lanboy as well, but I like a rigid steel case for my desktop case. I'm building a aluminium case for when lugging the rig around.

Antec is releasing something called the "Super Lanboy" later this month... might be worth seeing what they come up with.

IMHO classy not flashy and good cooling with a window is a Lian-Li PC-65. Doesn't get much more refined and classy looking than that and it definatly has more cooling than the lanboy.

hehe deathnight whatever case thread there is i see you reccomending (spelling) the 65. I really do like that case but i have 2 problems with it. 1- its expensive 2 - I would have to buy drive covers. But other than that its is basically the perfect case
