Comment: I'm looking into cases now. Trying to find something cheap but big enough and with enough ventilation options to some day hold a really good system. But I dont want to spend $30 on shipping so I'm trying to find something nearby that I just go pick up. This is the best I found so far: http://www.a-top.com/xblade/xblade.html ($55cad without the PS) I'm not in love with it. Just hoping I could get your opinions on what kind of case it would take to hold something like this (eventually)... ATX MB with an Asus Athlon 64 FX-60 dual core CPU and dual 7900GTs running in SLI mode, and all the other parts. I saw some pretty big processor fan/heatsink combinations at the store. Now I'm worried about what it takes to house that kind of system with whatever cooling systems it might need. Anyone out there with a crazy expensive computer willing to share their case and cooling wisdom?

Reply: (edit)YOu will not need a HUGE case for that system. Any mid size case should suffice. The size of the case will be a factor depending on how many other parts you want to put in it. For example, I have a home built file server with OS hard drive, 2nd hard drive in removable caddy for backups, optical disc, and 4 additional hard drives in a RAID array. That system requires a full tower. Michael J
