CONEPEACE,

That's a very good specification and to provide the room for a good cooling solution and air flow, I'd suggest a full tower case also having plenty of flexibility for radiators. It doesn't hurt either to have big windows and you might think about lighting. As the ASUS Hero is red /black and the keyboard is cheery, here's a case I think would look fast standing still:

Corsair 780T: > $255

http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=25_961&products_id=28528

Not inexpensive at $255, but I think is proportional to the quality of the internal components and having plenty of room for fans / radiators, work space and great styling.

You might consider having a front panel fan controller.

For something a bit more restrained looking but still roomy and less expensive:

I like the external fan control too.

Cougar Evolution 6GR1 Full Tower > $109

That system is going to wake up some pixels!

Cheers,

CONEPEACE,

I like the NZXT very much- a kind of stealth fighter sculptural quality.

The newer designs have excellent features, for example, the integrated fan controller is an excellent idea and I like the way the cable management is done to make the interior view very tidy. Even workstations like Dell Precisions are starting to have this clean, purposeful appearance. A few years ago, they were very different- jumble sales of wiring.

If you look at hot rods, there is no wiring or small components visible under the bonnet- "sanitary" they call it in California and it's a good trend.

Cheers,
