Is there any case out there with these specs?

1x120mm rear fan
1x120mm front fan
1x120mm side fan
1x80mm top fan or 120mm
side window panel maybe a vent along with the fan on the window.

average to large size case supporting an atx mobo. I like lots of room inside.
tooless or regular design doesn't really matter to me. Durability doesn't really matter it won't be moved around.

Preferably under 100.00 I might go higher.

Have you looked at the Antec 900?
2x120mm front
1x120mm rear
1x200mm top
Side window with mount for a 120mm or maybe it is for a 200mm fan

I like that case a lot it's probably #1 on my list, but I was just seeing if there is anything cheaper that suits my wants.

thanks

I am telling you guys I love my Ultra Aluminus! It is large, looks good (especially in black) and as stock can accomodate:

1 x 120mm front fan
1 x 120mm rear fan
1 x 80mm side fan (just remove the stupid duct that comes with it and install your fan)
it has a nice BIG window and even a vent for keeping GPU fed with fresh air.

At Performance PC's (http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=304&products_id=3995) they have lots of options for this case. For $15.00 they will drill a top 120mm blow hole and the four screw holes for a 120mm fan. They will also add a second 80mm hole in the window for you for another $15.00

With just the top 120mm hole the case is about $115.00 over there. It does not come with fans though. Or buy it stock and drill your own holes...I did! You can probably find it for well under $100 stock somewhere.

Look for my post in this thread (http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=502007) for pics of this case all filled up. :)(not a good place if you have 56k though)

Good luck -Jim

jimmsch, could you tell me if that case has a removeable intake filter?:)

It has room inside the door for a filter on the front fan. I use this one (http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=92&products_id=2276) as seen in the pic below. The door opens easily to clean it and you don't even really have to power down to open it, although you probably should. I just brush it off with an old toothbrush while hitting it with some compressed air in a can.

However I don't think this case comes with any fans included. You have to get them seperate.

Coolermaster stacker 830/832 will hold more 120mm fans than you can count. A little pricey, but I think I got what I paid for when I bought mine.
