    Antec 300 Three Hundred http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...ck%20(No%20PSU)

    Perfect case, I've got mine and it keeps the system cooler than cool.

    Another thumbs up for the Three Hundred. My home PC is built around this and it's excellent - plenty of space, good cooling and nicely constructed.

    That's a pretty beefy system. More storage than all our servers put together!

    I'd go for the Antec P182 if your budget can strech that far does come with a pretty solid PSU aswell

    Antec 300 again, unless you're feeling flush like I was when I bought this GIGABYTE - Product - PC Components - Chassis - Main Page Big heavy and evil, but very very quiet.

    I have a Coolermaster CM690 (see Cooler Master - Ultimate provider of Computer Chassis | Cooler | Power Supply ) which is nice to work in and everything stays pretty cool. I fitted an additional fan to the side over my graphics card but otherwise it's standard and it works well.

    My system is a Q6600 (standard cooler) and ATI HD4500 (the standard cooler on this was rubbish so I got a huge new one )
