| Re: case choice for air cooling I'm guessing by what he's paying that he wants a high end case...I can appreciate that, I love my Lian-Li A10 and it cost me an arm and a leg to have it shipped from the states, especially as the canadian dollar was in the dumps when I bought it.
None of those cases look extremely great for airflow...but ok if you're not looking for a killer OC. I don't really like the look of them, if you're looking for a full tower have you had a peek at these? Newegg.com - LIAN LI PC-A70A Silver Aluminum ATX Full Tower Computer Case - Computer Cases Newegg.com - LIAN LI PC-A77A Silver Aluminum ATX Full Tower Computer Case - Computer Cases
Both are high end with good airflow from front to back.
If you're set on one of the first three my vote is with the TJ07, my personal preference, just like the look a little better. But I'd pick up one of the Lian-Li's before them.

| Re: case choice for air cooling P182 is a very solid case, however its only a mid tower, but its a pretty big mid tower, its built for silence and performance.
TJ10 is better for air cooling because of that center fan, TJ07 is better for water cooling since it has enough room for a RAD without modding.

| Re: case choice for air cooling thanks for all the input, guys. i know my hardware isnt top notch, but i figured i'd get a sick case, make my rig look all pretty, and then build from there. but when i do start getting nice components, i want them to be preotected nicely, hence the expensive case choices. thanks again! |

It's got a lot of fans, with blue LEDS on them already.
