help deciding on a case.

ok so im building a new system and my current case is just too large. so now im looking for something that is much smaller. i would idealy like to find something with at least one 120mm fan and two 80mm fans, but would like a case with two 120mm fans. is there an advantage to having a 120mm in the back and a 80mm in the front? anyway, basically im looking for something small enough that can be made very quiet and cool well.

the parts im thinking of so far are:
AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Venice

DFI LANPARTY UT nF4 Ultra-D Socket 939

pqi TURBO 1GB (2 x 512MB) pc3200

Leadtek PX6600GT TDH Geforce 6600GT 128MB

CHAINTECH AV-710

THERMALRIGHT XP-90 Heatsink

do you guys think this antec case will suite my needs?

I'd go for this one, just for the extra bit of power

what fan do you intend to use with the XP-90?

I really like my Thermaltake Big Typhoon. Cooled better than my XP-90, at a lower noise level. if you want good quiet cooling, consider this heatsink.

I would go spend some time at Newegg and check out their wide variety of cases. Then pick out your PSU seperately. It looks like you got a good list going there so far so don't short change yourself with a barely adequate PSU/case combo.

Lian Li PC-7b Plus. 2x 120mm, 1x 80mm on top. It's kinda big, but thats because it gives you a lot of room to work.

i forgot to mention that i have a fortron bluestorm 500w, so if its not enought i can swap that one in. im sure that the antec 350 can power my current rig just fine. was the power supply the only thing wrong with that particular case? i kind of like plain cases.

i also found the antec on amazon with free shipping and on sale. $86.44

my reasoning behind getting this case is that its shorter than my current case, which is about 2 inches below the bottom of the desk, and this new antec will be low enough to allow me to use it as a leg rest.

I plan to use this 90x25 panaflo. it's supposed to be 56.8 CFM and 35.0 dB-A.

im also tossing in some of this sound dampening material, as well as replacing all of the stock case fans with this 120mm, and two of these 80mm's.
