Need a new Case. Need help.

[Darkmatterx]

I need to get a new case. The one I got for my P4 about a year ago is all flashy and whatnot, but it doesn't cool very well.

I need a case that has excellent cooling, and is quiet. Any suggestions? I know Zalman has this...

Anyone have any other suggestions? I think my case fails in the heat department mainly because the front cover is to busy being pretty to bother having vents to bring in fresh air. I'm not even sure what the 120mm fan I have at the front is doing...

My system is a P4 3ghz, Abit IC7, Radeon 9800pro etc. I'm going to be replacing the LED fans I have for quieter fans. The PSU should be fine. I can't remember the brand exactly but its a "TrueBlue 450" and I recall at the time that it was considered good as well as quiet (I hope)

Anyways, any help you can offer would be great, thanks!

I got an Antec 1080 AMG Case. It comes with a 430 watt power supply, but you can buy the case without the PSU as a Plus 1000 case with a side window. It has tons of room, and very good airflow. It can accomidate 2 80mm fans for intake, 2 for exhaust, and 1 on the side panel. It also has a air filter for the intake fans, that prevents dust and such from entering the case. Check my site for the pics of the case.

Thanks for the info. I have heard though that windowed cases are louder then ones without windows. Since I'm more interested in quiet, I'm willing to pass on pretty, for function. And the case I meantioned above is actually quite nice anyways. I just wanted some other thoughts since I'd rather not have to go looking for ANOTHER case after this.
