Recommend me a case, please?

[mark $]

Well I plan on putting a new computer together in sept, hopefully when nehalem pushes the Q9550 prices lower. My build will consist of Asus P5Q pro, xigmatek S1283, the Q9550, and the Corsair 750w tx psu. Everything else seems pretty negligible towards what case to pick but if you want more info just let me know. I plan on ocing the cpu to around 3.7, hopefully more.

Anyway, what are some nice cases as far as cooling and having enough space for said parts. I would prefer not spending more than $200 on the case. Side windows and LED with lots of fans are always nice

Antec 900, NZXT Tempest, or the Coolmaster RC-900 if you like to customize air flow.

I just got the Antec 900 and it dropped my system temp a good 5 degress C and dropped my CPU temps 9C and my Vid Card temp 10-15C

Either the Antec 900: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129021
$120
or the Antec 1200: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129043
$200
(Both are $100 cheaper if you also buy an Antec Power supply)

Thanks, the Antec is $169 at microcenter. So far looks like that's what I'm going to get.

The $169 Armor is always a good choice, not quite as many fans as the 1200 on the front, though it does have the larger 250cm side fan and offers lots of room for expansion... like the extra 3 bay hard drive cage next to the PSU. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811133021

I've recently purchased a Gigabyte 3daurora 570s for £80 ($160) and its a superb case. Very roomy, aluminium including the case door, an expansion card and drive locking mechanism that works and an exchangable perspex window/mesh side panel. There are also precut holes if you want to upgrade to water cooling. I had an antec before, but this beats it by a mile and i would recommend googling some reviews.
