Recommended Case? ...

The Antec Nine Hundred is a pretty decent case and might be what you're looking for:

1. Cooling: it has two 120 mm front intake fans, a 120 mm rear fan and a 200 mm top fan. There is a mount in the side of the case for an optional 120 mm intake fan to blow on the GPU and also a mount for a third 120 mm intake fan. This case moves some serious air. There are also holes with rubber grommets in the rear of the case for water tubes.

2. Quiet: I'd rate this case as fairly quiet when the fans are on "low" (they're 3-speed adjustable, all of them.) You can tell it's on but all you hear is a muffled sound of air moving, not the noise of fan blades.

3. Space/expansion: Should be just fine. The case is a longer-than-most mid-tower ATX case so long GPUs fit in nicely. The general setup of the case is that there are 9 5.25" bays. There are two removable (thumbscrew-in) hard drive cages with a 120 mm fan at the front, and each cage holds 3 HDDs and takes up 3 5.25" bays. The other 3 bays are unoccupied. You can arrange the stuff however you want in the 9 bays of the case. I have a Radeon x1900, two opticals, a FDD/memory card reader, a 4-port PCIe SATA card, a TV tuner and four HDDs and it all fits in the case fine, so you should have no troubles. Just don't try to put an EATX server board in there and you'll be fine.

4. Looks:
- It isn't terribly flashy as it's a satin black with a mesh front.
- It isn't super plain either as it has lines other than just those of a perfectly rectangular box. I personally like the front.
- It is reasonably well-built (weighs about 10 kg) and does not have a front door- the front is mesh for fan air intake.
- It does have a side window and the fans are blue LED models, except for the 200 mm big guy on top. I personally covered up the fan LEDs with electrical tape as I am not a fan of blue LEDs. The LED effect is more tasteful than some as it's just the typical 3 LEDs in a fan arrangement and that's all.
- It's a mid-tower ATX case that's on the larger end of the mid-tower size spectrum, particularly in length. But from your gear, that's probably about your minimum size. You're not going to be stuffing two or three extended-length and hot GPUs into a shorter-length mid-tower case unless you enjoy case modding, particularly removing HDD cages. Bigger cases also tend to allow better airflow, which would be important with a couple hundred watts of GPU heat being produced under load.

5. Tool-less drives: mostly no. The side panels both have thumbscrews as do the HDD cages, but you have to use screws to affix burners and HDDs into the case. I think that is an advantage as I've had a few tool-less retention mechanisms not work very well and lead to rattling/loose HDDs and burners. You simply do not get any more solid than putting four screws directly into your HDD or burner, which can be especially important if you want to move your computer, such as to a LAN party of if you live in a dorm.

6. Motherboard tray: not removable. But the case isn't particularly tight, so I wouldn't worry.

7. Price: The case runs from USD 80 to 120, so it will be well under $250-300 Canadian, even throwing in the fact that Canada's VAT is higher than U.S. state sales taxes and generally world-lowest hardware prices in the U.S. (It was either Anandtech or Tom's that ran an article about international variations in HW prices and found the U.S. to be the lowest on average.)

If you want more info on the case, Tom's used it in the Mid-Range Gaming System. You can also peruse the 2000+ reviews on Newegg.com to see what others think, even if you may not be able to buy it from them (last time I checked Newegg didn't ship to Canada.)

I just built my lasted system with this case and I love it. Nice ventilation and looks pretty sweet. Quality construction and plenty of room to fit all my junk. I won't be buying another case for a long time.

First of all, why the Ultra X3 power supply? Usually people only buy that if its on sale, and I don't think it is. It is not a bad PSU but you can get PSUs that are so much better like the Enermax Galaxy S, for a similar price. Also I recommend this case, it meets all of your requirements:

Good air cooling? Check
Quiet? Check
Fits all parts with room for expansion: Check
Looks clean and sexy, can light up blue with blue LED fans? Check
Tool-less? Check
Removable motherboard tray? Check
Is affordable? Check

Thanks for the advice sorry it's been a few days since i could check back and post a response, but i have been working more then normal so just havnt got a chance... will post comments ect a bit later today, just worked a night shift so have to get some sleep

Yeah those are nice, the only thing I did not like about the one I used for a buddies build was the sharp edges, ouch.

Lian Li A70 would fit the bill also, good cooling stock, all aluminum (sexy) only thing is it might not be as flashy as you want and its a little on the expensive side
