have you got a price range or size range? your requirements are open slather to just about anything

Antec 900, P180, TwelveHundred, 300
Silverstone TJ series
Lian Li A10, A70 , P80 Armoursuit
Thermaltake Armour
Coolermaster Stacker series

mobo: XFX nforce 780i

It may be good to let us know what's most important to you. Quietness or Cooling? Ie, the Antec 900 is a great case for cooling but is rather noisy (and would make for a poor audio-editing rig, therefore). The Coolermaster Cosmos 1000 is an EXTREMELY quiet and cool rig, but is heavy and not cheap.

What are your priorities for an enclosure?

What's your budget? Heck you could just go with the Antec 900 and have really cool case with great airflow. ...might not be quiet though.

I need it quiet and cool

Well, from personal experience I can recommend the Cooler Master Cosmos 1000: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6811119147

Very quiet, so quiet that you truly do not hear dual 10K rpm Raptors in RAID 0 (it doesn't get too much noiser than that). I had to look at the LED to know the drives were active...but not cheap, and as I said above, not light.

what about the cm690?

Well, its popular lately. ...but I can't say why. Cooling? Noise reduction? Hopefully, someone will speak up.

P80 Armoursuit, very quiet and has 10 slots so 3 two slot video cards will still leave you room to expand. Has 3 140mm fans in the front, 1 140 in the top of the case and one 120mm in the back. The 3 front and the top fan have a speed controller also.

If you are doing 3 way SLI i assume your budget doesnt matter much.

Personally i would get a Silverstone TJ09 or 10 or the Lian Li A70/A71... both will give you great cool, they are both quiet and they are both massive for additional cards

I'm using the A70 currently. ...its my favorite all-time case. I love it.

I did notice that halcyon... can i brag and say ive got 2? haha

Saaaweeeett!

ye, but thats the problem ive only got like 100 - 150 for the case

whats more important a good case or a good motherboard ? cause if I get an expencive mobo or case then I would have little money left for the other.

I got my daughter a Cooler Master Centurian 5 and was quite happy with that but I'd say if cooling is really important to you you may wan to look at the Antec 900 or 300. Good cases and not expensive.

No contest in my book, a good motherboard is more important to me.

ok thanks for your help, then again Im sorry if this doesnt fit here but since you replied to my other post too, whats a "very good" motherboard for you? any specific model you would recommend?

Fry's electronics stores have the antec 900 for $69.99 with no rebate in today's ad. It's a steal.

Well, I'm an Asus fan, so taking that into consideration these are my recommendations:
