Hi thankyou for reading this, right now I realized I need a new case and have been looking around lately. so currently I have a raidmax horus case and the airflow is acceptional but the wire management if horrible and I can't fit a h100 in properly so I had to mod it to fit it in the front which I don't really like so I decided I needed a new case so I am looking for one that is reasonably priced for me that can fit my h100 with fans and has great airflow and a side panel I can see into or if someone knows where to find these cases reasonably priced. I have my eye on the in win GRone whit and the coolermaster storm Stryker but they're really expensive for me and if you can find a better case any size is fine. I appreciate you taking the time to read this and help me out. All help is a predicated greatly!=)

Also I forgot to add that the full tower phantom white with side panel has also caught my eye, btw refurbished or new cases won't bother me either!

What is your full build?

Chances are you have no need for a full tower.

I have an SLI overclocking build in a mid-tower and have perfect cable management.

Get a mitd-tower. That build would look tiny in a full tower. It will just be louder and a waste of money.

Is there one you would suggest perhaps, I plan to get an extra hdd and 2 ssd and a new asus m5a99fx pro 2.0 mobo and power supply will a mid size suffice still?

Yes, HDDs and SSD use basically no power at all.

I would not recommend an h100i for your build. AMD motherboards get VERY hot and AIO coolers do not cool the motherboard.

You want something like a Noctua NH-D14. It will cool just as well as the h100i, but also cool the motherboard.

For the case, I would suggest a Corsair 400r.

The fractal core 3500 offers awesome cable management (nearly a full inch gap behind the motherboard tray and cable entry above the motherboard as well), lots of room for huge coolers, low cost (as low as $55 recently).

The 2x140mm fans alone produce amazing air-flow in this case. Very good front-to-back "open" design. The front panel "brushed plastic" can be removed, exposing a very open "grill" front.

I think the 3500 represents a sort of sweet spot in-between traditional mid-towers and something more like a full tower, as it is bulkier than most mid-towers (wider) so it supports big coolers and has excellent cable management. On the other hand, it doesn't waste space or compromise airflow with excessive drive-mounting options. The lower drive cage is configured with a conservative 4X "trays" (trays have mounting for either 2.5" or 3.5" drives), and then a small 2x5.25" bay on top. Additional mounting for 2.5"/SSD on the rear of the internal tray rounds out the build with a maximum 6-8 drive mounting positions.

I'm tempted to say that I get better air-flow with the 2x140mm fans on the 3500, than I was getting with 6x120mm (low-rpm) fans on a smaller mid-tower with a more restrictive design.

Okay cool but one more question what should my upgrade priorities be with what is posted above about my rig, I also have an antec earth watts psu that is pretty old and that mobo is pretty crummy and on windows 7 my hdd rates 5.9, would you first recommend the case out of all my stuff for my upgrade

I would get a new motherboard first. Yours is known to have bad over heating issues.

Also, Windows Experience Index means nothing at all. Forget about it.

Either of those would be a great choice. I personally used to have a Gigabyte 990fxa-ud3. I LOVED it. That is a solid choice as well if you can find one in budget.
