Take a look at this one:

Lian Li PC-X1000:

It's more expensive than those 300$, but, in my opinion, it is the best of the best.

Another very good option (and cheaper) is the COOLER MASTER ATCS 840:

+1 for Silverstone Fortress 2. I got one. It replaced an Antec 1200. The 1200 was good at moving air but the Fortress does better @ lower decibel volume.

But if you're wanting to throw in a 5970, you'll have to remove the bottom center fan. And who knows what for crossfired 5970's.

Which brings up my question:

What's the best case that can easily handle 2 5970's? And I don't want to hear about $300 plus cases either. Let's keep it real. Already taking a beating buying 2 5970's!

for the 5970 setup, you do not need to remove the fans, you just have to remove the fan-grille
