Slide out MB trays are the best! You will never go back once you have had one. I use the Coolermaster ATX 200 myself and love it. Comes with 4 80mm fans, all aluminum and room for 7 hard drives. Only thing is it is $200. Well worth it though. I also like the LianLi cases. You really need to tell us how much you want to $pend.

i like the antec sx-1200 big ol' case plenty of room for anything your heart desires. there are 4 slots for 80mm fans already, the case itself comes with two, and then another hole above where the PSU sits. i think there are 8 or 9 total 3.5 drive bays and 6 - 5 1/4 bays....im pretty sure it has a slide out motherboard tray, but im not certain....you can check it out at www.antec.com later

that case above it nice, but i love the door on my sx1030b, altho some chick i had over kicked it, (it was apart on my floor cuz i was modding one of the side panels and what knot) and now the top part of the door wont close all the way.. its like bent..
**i dun talk to her nemore if ur wondering :D**

personally i like to be able to see all the 5.25 bays....

I think a baybus, lcd, etc looks better and is more functional if they can be used without a cover open

its a matter of opinion basically.

yea, thats why u mod the door panel and make it look L337 :)

plus ill only have 2 hdd coolers, a cdrom, and maybe the dd5.. so i wont need to look at much..
