Anyone know of a really good case? I'm using a 3-yr old mid tower with almost zero ventilation on my new 1.2ghz athelon. Needless to say I run it w/ the cover off :P I'm looking for something ready to go w/ good case fans in place. Somthing around (or at least) 200cfm running throught it would be nice. Anyone know of something like this?

I was checking out this site... are these any good or do they just blow? (no pun intended :))

200 cfm is a bit excessive and would be loud. In my experience their are little to no gains in using more than 100-150cfm depending on the number of peripherals and size of case. Position is more important and there are only a few key positions which fans make the most differance in and to get 200cfm would mean using loud fans.
As for a case recomendation it depends on how much you want to spend, if you don't mind forking out a fair bit then a lian-li aluminium case would be a nice choice.
As for the Wind Tunnel cases they are quite good, especially if you don't feel up to making your own modded case or don't have the tools to do so
