super-ddr, you making fun of him?

Yimbo, how about you tell us what case you're using right now, what you're using to cool your i7 (i'm assuming stock), and what your budget range is?

CoolerMaster HAF 932 has excellent ventilation, air flow, and cooling:

I think the CM690, or the Antec 900.

Just as a reference for the OP, I recently switched from and old Xaser III (well ventilated case for the time) with stock cooler to an Antec 902 and Xigmatek HDT-S1283. My E8400 temps went from 70C @3.0GHz (stock speed) to 52C @3.6GHz. Good cooling can is a good investment so stretching the budget a bit can be worthwhile.

It's an ugly (depending on preference) but outstanding case for cooling performance and cable management. It's a top performer, and I've seen lots of good sales on it lately. Let me know if you want some more links.

I have a Cooler Master Cosmos (NOT Cosmos S) case. The PSU is on the bottom and vents through the bottom of the case. There are 3 x 120mm exhaust fans (2 on top and one on the back). There is one 120mm intake fan between the PSU and HDD racks. There are 4 locations with mesh filters (the 3 exhaust fans don't have filters). There is negative pressure in the case, at least from the looks of it. The only heat problems you would have with the Cosmos case would be from a worthless heatsink.
Some people complained about their HDDs being hot. I can't say that there aren't heating issues, but I did pull out my 150GB Raptor out one day right after I shut down the computer, and it wasn't any bit uncomfortable to handle.

I have the Coolermaster HAF 932 and think it is a great case. The down side is it is LARGE. If I had to do over again, I would get the Coolermaster Storm Scout -
