Gaming Case; CANT DECIDE!!

Last response: in Components
Share

I have all my parts picked out, but the last and possible one of the most important parts (to me) is the case.
I really would love a full aluminum case such as the HP Blackbird; which i was told by HP i could purchase for an insane 1000$ (case only!) or a gutted out mac pro. the full aluminum case would give me some leeway on my water cooling setup if it really comes down to it.
if you have any other suggestions please tell me, im not all that dead set on these two if i can find better.

Why must it be aluminum?
Antec's 900 is a great case with ports for water hoses in the back of the case.
As does the Antec 300, and the 1200.
So for $50 you can get the 300, $100 the 900, and $250 the 1200.
Thermaltake has a trick case with built in water cooling.

Plus you can pimp it with an optional LCD screen.

Go for Asus Vento 3600, its very good gaming case under £100. Only drawback i see is there is no PSU included, you have to buy seperate power supply

No, don't go with either of the Asus Vento 3600 or the 7700. The 3600 has a horrible air intake design to it and it still uses 80mm fans. The Vento 7700, which I have previously owned, isn't as glamorous either. The 7700 does not bring in much air at all. The front 80mm intake is obstructed by several things, but if you do get the 7700 you can cust a hole in the side and mod a side fan in it. Stay away from the "gaming" chassis from ASUS. If I had the cash to drop right now I'd get this, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
