What Case To Buy?

Better for what?
Although both the Lian-li V-series and the new Antec p-180 are very tempting, I'm not sure I like the highly compartmentalized layouts.
Options for layout, especially if watercooling is planned, seem restricted by the box-in-a-box designs.
The CM Stacker still seems like the biggest bang for the buck, followed by the Silverstone TJ-06 for sheer good looks.

I'm waiting for this case to come out:
http://www.coolermaster.com/index.p...ial=RC-732&other_title=+RC-732+Praetorian 732
Depending on price and reviews I might get it. If it's too expensive for me I'm going to get this one:
http://www.coolermaster.com/index.p...rial=RC-532&other_title=+RC-532+Centurion 532
Just throwing out some more options if you haven't decided yet.

Anything Lian-Li is good 
.
SilverStone has some nice looking offerings too.

Of the 2 CM cases i would choose the Praetorian, seems sturdy for a mid/full case. The stacker is still their no 1 case. The SSTJ-07 should be available 12months after the 06 seems like their standard time. Thats only my own calculation its not even close to 50% accurate.
If i had a saying in the matter, i would suggest you head over to Pc Planet in germany
http://www.pc-planet.de/liste.php3?search=0221 <-- My favorite case so far
^site is in german, and the shipping is 20 euro around europe +5 euro for extra package (if one wants the sidewindow)^
But it could be to big for some, i like it, doesn't mean you like it nee..
As always, everything is in the eye of the beholder.

Ahoy matey! Me rig be housed in a Silverstone tj-03 and I be inclined ta say it's better'n a glass o' grog! How so? Well, tis pretty is all. The cooling fine methinks but I ain't certain on wot a good ambient temperature be, specially when me ship be sailin' the tropics. Sometimes me cabin gets right stuffy.
