Currently I am using this one. http://www.atruereview.com/mge_quantum/index.php

But with 6 hard drives and my OCed Opty 165(still below 50C under load) it is a little warm. I want something the has the hard drives and psu seperate from the mobo and all that. Like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ShowImage.asp?Image=11%2D112%2D066%2D02%2Ejpg%2C11%2D112%2D066%2D03%2Ejpg%2C11%2D112%2D066%2D04%2Ejpg%2C11%2D112%2D066%2D05%2Ejpg%2C11%2D112%2D066%2D06%2Ejpg%2C11%2D112%2D066%2D07%2Ejpg%2C11%2D112%2D066%2D08%2Ejpg%2C11%2D112%2D066%2D09%2Ejpg%2C11%2D112%2D066%2D10%2Ejpg%2C11%2D112%2D066%2D11%2Ejpg%2C11%2D112%2D066%2D12%2Ejpg&CurImage=11%2D112%2D066%2D02%2Ejpg&Description=LIAN+LI+PC%2DV1200Bplus+II+Black+Aluminum+ATX+Mid+Tower+Computer+Case+%2D+Retail

If anybody has any suggestions that are under $200 I am happy to hear. Since I can't search newegg for this specific layout I figure asking if anybody knows of any is easier than going through their hundreds of cases. I have looked at all the Lina Li's but I just don't know if I can afford to spend over $200 right now.

Thanks for the help!

The P180 would be your cheapest choice.

The silverstone TJ-09 would be one of the best airflow even if it's not seprated, but its around 250$+

And if you never move our computer:Mozart TX

And the antec 900.

The last 3 one dont have separated layout but they all have good airflow, dont know how many drive the 900 can take...

As nice as the Mozart is, I lan fairly regularly. The Lian Li's have the Mobo upside down, which I am kinda interested in trying out. Was looking into this case.http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16811133149
The price is right, just dropped about $50, but I really don't like the color and the front door is...meh. Don't care for it but don't really dislike it. It's a blatant rip off of this Silverstone http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811163035, but I don't know about $50 for a wind tunnel that I may not be able to use with my Zalman 9500 and a 80mm fan?

Thanks for all the input!
