The compucase lx-6a619 that you have linked there is an outstanding case. Can't say enough about it.

What he said. It's also pretty cheap as well.

Be sure that anything you get measures at least 48cm, front to back, or the CD drive may get in the way of the mobo.

whats so special about this case? is it light? easy to move around? say for a lan party? just need something lite and easy to move, it sure does look like the winner tho

Well it is a steel case, so its not a super light case(although I have brought it to lan parties and it is not bad to carry at all). The reason I love it is that it has 2 120mm fan mounts, has rubber grommets for mounting HDs, its interior is very roomy and easy to work in yet its not a huge case(not to mention I found MANY excellent places to hide my cables). Not bad for $39...

I like the X dreamer cases. They too are easy to work in and look better then the compucase IMO. It does'nt have the 120 mounts mounts but you can install 4 80's in there and it has a top blowhole. Airflow is not an issue but 4 80mm fans do make some noise. Picking a case these days is not an easy task. Soooo many to choose from.
