What next?

[Nemmith]

I had to move from NY to CA and my PC came with me, but in the process my case was damaged. Now I need to replace it and wanted to know what were some good choices?

What I have now:
Case: Thermaltake Armor
3x hard drives, 2 of which are in a raid setup
2x Dvd drives
sound card and video card
* I like to use my power supply as well: ENERMAX Liberty ELT500AWT ATX12V 500W Power

I want a case that is smaller, has good airflow and is not so damn heavy. Being well built is something I am looking for as well. I have looked a bit online and I do like these 3 cases I have listed below. What I would like to know are any of these good choices and if not what would be something to go with?

Antec Sonata III
Thermaltake LANBOX Lite VF6000BWS
Thermaltake Tsunami VA3000SWA

SonataIII is a nice case, although air flow is not as good as it could be and tends to be a little cramped... i believe your LANbox will be terribly cramped dont know about the Tsunami

You need to look at some Lian Li cases... most of their range are Full Aluminum (light weight) they are all VERY well constructed and generally have TONS of room inside.

A10 is the bees knees, not much smaller than Armour but 5kg+ lighter

Thank you chookman that is a very nice case. Would anyone else like to add to this topic ?

Does anyone know where I can pick up the Lian-Li A10 case locally? I live in the S.F Bay Area.
